Message:: [QUOTE="Good Cents, post: 3648777, member: 100720"]There should be another word for times like this, other than "Possible Bubble" because a "Bubble" seems to only be something that you can identify in hindsight. We know the 2011 spike in Silver was a "Bubble". But while it was happening, nobody knew what was going to happen. With the 2008 Stock Market Crash it was identified, again only in hindsight, as a "Bubble" with banks bundling sub-prime housing loans, giving them good ratings and selling them to investors, while issuing mortgages to people who couldn't possibly afford them. In hindsight, that was a "Bubble". But when you're in the "Eye of a Possible Bubble" and you can't see the forest from the trees, you don't know if you've hit a "Bubble" or a piece of old chewing gum. It could use a name, even if just for Precious Metals. Maybe we can come up with a better name than "Speculative Bubble" or "Potential Bubble" or "Maybe, Possibly a Bubble" or "Nobody-Has-Any-Idea-If-It's-A-Bubble." Any ideas?[/QUOTE]
