Has Anything REALLY changed over the past 40 Years?

It's funny how long the same sales pitches continue to work.

 

Don't forget the Hunt brothers in 1980 (or was it 1981).
Silver skyed (~$50/oz) then SERIOUSLY crashed.

I believe there was also a lesser event about 1990.

Oh, and I'm 40 years older!

 

Don't expect a repeat of the Hunt run up --and hope we don't have one. A lot of money was lost by a lot of people (besides the greedy Hunts) in a matter of hours.

 

There was a little spike around like 1998 I think

 

Well the money doesn't just disappear. The people who were long in silver lost money, but the people who were short in silver made money.

In 2011 I think silver hit $40.

 

Basically touched 50 at one point

 

Sales tactics rarely change, especially if they work.

 

1980 and 2011 are the only real Bull Runs that I recall.
