Or stand outside the coin shop in a trench coat, cash in one pocket, silver in the other.... Psssst, hey buddy. I got a deal for you.
Trump at least is right about precious metals. Gold/ silver/ platinum/ paladium/ Rhodium are finite and rare. FIAT currencies can go into Weimar/ Austrian/ Hungarian/ Zimbabwean hyperinflation abyss. Ditto for cryto. I think Trump will try to peg US$ back to gold standard. That would mean five figure price per oz.
Gold blew right past the $5000 level as did silver at the $100 level. Silver is back over $114 in overseas trading.
No...the bond market will not allow it. Maybe, but we're not going back to a gold standard. Lots of good articles about why...but GOLDEN FETTERS is a great book that tells why.
