Message:: [QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1810082, member: 26302"]You know the main reason I bristle at the whole "the market is rigged" thing? Its basically your point. If it stays rigged, then it will never matter, right? But, if you are simply betting it will become unrigged, then I think that is a very dangerous bet. The whole "the market is rigged" crud is a red herring. Who cares? There are a number of good, sound, reasonable reasons to invest in PM. Look at them, see at what price it makes sense to buy at. Look at what benefir it will have to your whole portfolio. Those are SOUND reasons to invest in PM like I have. If you try to make your investment decision based upon "manipulation", then nearly any price can be justified, if you are betting this "manipulation" will end. People here on CT a few years ago, with a straight face, were predicting $120 silver "in the near future". A LOT of them got very mad at me for disputing that assertion. I do not think my personality is innately such a SOB, but I might be the most hated poster on the PM forum because I refuse to believe this assertion, and will say so. Basically, I am saying there is firm ground on which to base your investment decision with pm. You do not have to try to build in on the quicksand of "market manipulation". If you buy pm and some day it goes up because of that reason, whatever, its a bonus, but please do not bet your future on that premise.[/QUOTE]
