[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3161858, member: 77814"]here's a pretty lame article on gold dieing out ==> [url]https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-why-gold-might-die-out-as-an-investment-2018-08-15[/url] on another note, I think ETFs, while making it easy for people to invest in Silver/Gold, also waters down PMs as one is very easily able to move in and out of the metals as they do not have to actually inventory it. Of course, they lose the allure of holding it too. So it ends up being another number on their portfolio. Thus shifting in/out of it is easy. I don't invest in metal ETFs due to the overhead costs associated with it and the problem that I can't hold it. But I see metal ETFs now as a short term investment platform instead of a long term investment as it may have been 10+ years ago. I wonder how many newer investors of PMs are electronic versus physical holdings ? And thus the length of time they hold their holdings? looks like their dumping their holdings as the ETF chart I showed above indicated.
