    What I see is that Australia has been living off the natural resources, pretty much like Russia.

    I'm not saying Australia is merely living off of natural resources.

    Riiiighht.. the yanks are making about half as much as equivalent STEM roles back in Aus. 10 days annual leave a year instead of 4 weeks. 3 weeks maternity leave for women.
    Then you have a significant portion of the labour force being Mexicans who don’t complain about shit.

    the kind of shit the unions pull in Aus makes people’s jaws drop here. Trying to explain ‘Union picnic day’ as a day off for factory workers in my previous job in Aus (because they were jealous of another Union’s benefits) was impossible.

    Mate, the kind of shit I've seen the unions pull here has made my jaw drop too.
    Having worked in heavy industry all my life, I have seen first-hand the unions whittle away any incentive for companies to stay in Oz and put up with their shit.

    Manufacturing can easily be brought back in this country. But we are all addicted to cheap junk.

    Here is a super easy industry that can be completely brought back, as it has not completely gone yet.

    Truck/ute body/tray building. Why allow Toyota/Hino/Isuzu and the like to bring in Utes and small trucks with factory trays (which are junk)
    Change the law as of tomorrow every cab chassis coming into this country can not have body on it period, if it does, add an additional 100% tax on it.
    Start with things up to say GVM of 7 ton, next year make it across the board.

    Evey ute, tipper, tray and a like would be built in this country, some are as we speak but the recent Hino/Isuzu change with there factory fitted bodies are a huge assault on local manufacturing.

    O that's right we can't do that because Hino/Isuzu as a corporation has the same 'rights' in fact more than a living person.

    FYI the word corporate derives from the word 'corpse' as its dead/no face, in turn should have zero rights.

    Back to the GSR currently as 99 to 1

    If the "SHTF" thing continues (which I think it will for a while), then I see people buyin' more gold, rather than silver.

    GSR has me back looking at silver. I can see it pulling back to 40-50 range within 2-3 years, good time to stack silver and look to trade the ratio.

    Hope your right. I've been sitting on a stack for 8 years without much joy to date, but I brought it for the long game so fingers crossed.

    It was 126 in April. 20 would be a great "gift", but during economic downturn I think it's less likely that silver will rise.

    I'm thinkin' (just thinkin...), maybe:
    - silver will start rising as the economies will recover gradually (I don't know when that might happen)
    - but right now it's gold that'll be king
    - silver's price is cheap now, but it will rise as the industries start movin' (not now, because gold is a better safe haven asset)

    Central Banks are secretly supporting the up trend in gold, they announce stopping of their many gold accumulations but can't help to let it go (they will come back to push it even way higher)
    Silver is just following gold, and soon $20 is the new support

    Elaborate more on this, please!

    I do agree that some of them are supporting the gold uptrend (like China, some smaller countries, Russia), but I'd really like hear what you have to say :D

    Indeed, perhaps they're using Corona as a "gradual process" to shift towards the new financial system. They will make sure they exploit Corona as much as possible, otherwise people will turn on them like sharks.

    It's darn expensive to buy a mere ounce. Premiums are around 80-100% above spot.

    This is the Twilight Zone. Silver is nice if you already have. Gold is king.

    I have the feeling that retail gorging is what is stopping silver spot from rising. The super high premiums is acting like a huge GST or VAT depressing retail demand. Once mint supplies come online, which is happening now, the premiums will plunge as retailers rush to offload their new stock.
