I don't feel any need whatsoever to encourage any one in any circumstance to diversify in pathetic precious metals. That is how pathetic I think they are.
I am intentionally ridiculing those who stack precious metal.
So much for not getting emotionally invested in the market. Your entire view of metals at this point is just hatred of the possibility that someone else might make a profit where you didn't and has nothing to do with any of the actual market dynamics. Having 0 metals when the market implodes is probably the biggest financial mistake someone can make.
Even out of sheer principle alone you would have to be a fool to participate in the debt based currency scam when it can be avoided. What kind of person willingly subjects themselves to being scammed on purpose? Metals and bitcoin are the only alternative, and there are no viable solutions for decentralized currency, so the answer is pretty clear where the majority of your money has to be out of principle, wealth preservation, and chance of windfall gains when the debt based system implodes and wealth transference occurs.
You keep repeating over and over that the world is "short US dollars". The world is not short US dollars. Those are called unserviceable debts. When people have no intention of fulfilling those contracts, those are toxic assets and not shorts with any type of counter party.
On the other hand, when you see places like Comex running unallocated, fractional reserve gold at 100:1 or more, those actually are shorts because the demand on the object for which they are attached never goes to zero unlike the bond market.
I wouldn't have lost the fortune I earned developing computer software if I hadn't become a silverbug following Jason Hommel back in 2006. And shipped my physical metal to the Philippines!
You would have doubled your money buying silver in 2006 (or 5x if you sold at the last top). Literally nothing you're saying about metals makes any sense. If you're worried about liquidity, the only type of silver you should be touching is silver eagles, not some random bullion cubes or silver shaped like dragons or something. The liquidity for silver eagles in America is good. The liquidity for non-govt rounds anywhere isn't nearly as good.
Precious metal bugs are irrational extremists, who are locked and loaded in their basements.
Since when is Anonymint shilling for the jews? lol. Telling people to buy stocks at the peak of the bubble (sans hyperinflation) and demonizing guns and metals. Now I've seen everything.
