A permabull talkfest?
It's the same message over and over:
* Euro in its final weeks, months, or years
* America has unbearable debt burden
* Governments printing like hell
* Hyperinflation is coming
* Gold and silver manipulated but cannot be for much longer
* Gold and silver on the verge of EXPLODING
* If all the money in the world had to be covered by gold, gold will be worth thousands more
* Get on board, WOOOT!
I never hear any of these guys say that when the markets finally do tank, gold and silver will be slammed down hard with the rest of the commodity market.
After this, there is a good chance (but not absolute), that gold and silver will rise as currencies face a crisis of confidence, but the permabulls never want to consider the fact PM holders are also likely to feel a lot of pain in the future.
Yes, well said Earthjade ... it would be reasonable to have some arguments put forward for the other side, eg. The powers that control currency flow might simply keep this going indefinitely by continuing to disguise/rip off/lie to the general population.
I'd also like to have some discussion about the downsides of SHTF circumstances - not necessarily the extreme 'live-in-isolation' scenarios, but the market-crashes/extreme depressions that could eventuate for many years.
I'm not sure I'd agree entirely that "PM holders are also
likely to feel a lot of pain in the future" as the one thing that seems to me to be true is that we just don't know ... PM holders may or may not feel pain in such a scenario and perhaps to some degree, what we are doing is a hedge (gold) or a bet (silver).
Tnx!
