as an investment point of view you can't base your hopes and dreams of making a good return on the fact that everything around you is corrupt and a conspiracy (You don't make money that way).
Even if it really is a conspiracy? I always thought that the best way was to actually understand whats happening under the hood?
100% right, but don't skip the part where it might not be a conspiracy first (logic first, followed by other possibilities later). All the ups and downs movements in silver (as of late) have not been a conspiracy its standard movements in leveraged markets like housing ..... AND EVEN if it was a conspiracy (lets say it is cause the banks are manipulating the markets) how can you expect to profit from it if you go against them ?! They have the power to move it up, they have the power to move it down.
You may call them out on it (jump up and down and create a whole freaking movement against it) but you wont make money at the end from it, not if you face it head on and try to bankrupt a bank (bankers don't fail cause they are dumb, they fail cause they are to smart and confuse them selves, if you look at the mathematics behind the derivatives and things they used they stuffed up not cause they are dumb managing money, they experimented and the lab went BOOM ! This means they were trying to be pioneers albeit greedy ones in financial engineering, this isnt the world of the dumb where simple basic logic will catch them out such as taking delivery to bankrupt them) .
For lack of a better way of putting it, if you see it as a war, each one of these price movements is a battle, you loose enough of them and banks win by taking your money, you win some and take profits here and there and get your self rich/er, who knows what you can do with that money later
