the play on precious metals is scary thought for metals to do well nations must face difficult times ahead, but with us president having no problem devaluing US dollar to make us markets competitive to export goods, means one think a weaker dollar as other countries do the same thing we are certainly heading towards a downward sprial, and us dollar being a bad place to keep a store of value for your hard heard dollars. just look at the yield curve, they had to manipulate the treasury bills but buying long term t bill and still could stop it from crashing. equities are too overvalued and the coronavirus was honestly the excuse to sell everything. if you really looked that the market it has had severe problems and rapid price appreciation is going to make it worse. i have been conducting research at McDonalds and Wawa and stores alike where they have been increasing the price of goods, and taking items off the dollar menu. the only reason I haven't built a bomb shelter & move to Yukon is cause Arizona 99 cent cans are still 99 cent and Wendys 4 for 4 is still around that my indicator when things are going down cause those are promises lol. enough jokes if you arent heading agaisnt a huge dollar depreciation your in for a rude awaking. just check out dxy if anyone wants i could make a chart. so just know you 401k is effectively gone and the government knows, they made too many promises and now its gonna hurt the people retiring shame. as I had spent some time rubbing elbows with huge investment banking institutions and small ones. they are just peddling financial products to customers and they few u as a number and they are very good that making you feel special. anyway, I do still believe gold and silver will come down a bit. but upside potential very nice to look at if you own some. and everyone should hold a some.
