It's a good rise in USD, but nothing exceptional, the rise in 2016 was more rapid and slightly higher.
I'll happily keep stacking at these artificially low prices thanks. 6 years for me. I think I am doing the right thing when I look to all the central banks around the world stacking as much PMs as they can get. Who knows how long these prices will stay where they are.
It’s a good time to start. Beginners enthusiasm takes quite a while to wear off so you might be one of the lucky ones who, over the next 10 years, invests, waits and sells for a tidy profit and wonders what all the fuss is about. You will miss the “ I have made a horrendous mistake investing in this shiny stuff” phase as you watch every other investment known to man appreciate while yours goes ......... backwards.
Surely we're approaching an end game soon... but yes it could be years away. My prediction... (I'm sure this will come back to haunt me)... is within the second term of Trump (so I guess it's a bonus prediction of Trump wins next election) and I'll make a third prediction that he win's yugely.
A long time is my guess these low prices will out live you Should have invested in housing or stocks over that 6 years
I have invested in housing and stocks as well as silver. A portfolio should consist of PMs too for insurance if a shtf happens. I'm happy with my stack even if shtf don't happen but my bet is it will happen sooner rather then later. All this massive worldwide debt is not going away and is only getting worse. The only thing that is propping up world economies is low interest rates and money printing. It can't go on like this for too much longer. And any number of things can bring the whole thing down with a sudden big crash. I'd rather be invested in PMs 6 years too early, then one day too late coz when the coming big crash happens and people flock to safety of PMs who knows what price they will be or if one can get any.
A friend's hubby is a big nob in one of the big banks. Lunch this last week and she asked, on his behalf, what's his best option to get into gold. Interesting sign of the times I thought.
if gold is a tier ONE capital, why is there a limit for retirement fund to be investing in it, or why limit the allocation to a tier ONE capital ??
In a true financial SHTF scenario(outside of a hyperflationary event) all assets classes including gold and silver will drop cash will be king
Yes. When you have 99.99% of the population using cash, in a crisis do you really think those people are going to suddenly understand and accept gold and silver as payment? It's not going to happen. More people have and can use crypto than have gold and silver.
