I'm more of a 3'r. I got into the metals around 2004 because they were selling at the same prices of 30+ years earlier and starting an uptrend....
Please refrain from political posts or the thread will be closed by the moderators.
On the contrary, the fact that only a small percentage of contracts result in delivery is key. The vast majority of players are speculators with...
Another way to look at it is that the spot price is a paper price, not a real physical price. Silver is also in backwardation on the futures...
What you are missing is the potential numismatic value of some bullion coins. ASEs frequently sell for premiums to spot. Also, I don't know if...
Around me ASEs alway sell for spot or better, and have been as high as spot +$2. Generic silver always sells for some percentage discount....

When you think about it, the accumulation of debt for consumption has the initial effect of causing a certain amount of inflation. But the long...
On the positive side, this appears to be just another scary drop that seems to happen once or twice a year before the next leg up. On the...
When you add the cost of complying with a wide variety of regulations, fees, restrictions, environmental costs, etc..., there are significant cost...
I agree, and would go farther. The whole idea behind tariffs is to equalize taxes and wages with trading partners so that companies compete on...
Nice speech, Rono. Hits all of the bases. I would only suggest that by applying the old rule of "if something can't happen, it won't," the...
