“So hold on to your hats. We are entering a period of time when there will be unprecedented volatility for the prices of precious metals. It will be quite a roller coaster ride, but if you can handle the ups and downs it will be worth it in the end.”

Thirteen years and counting for me, holding G&S. This is the BUMP before the rocket ride to the top, Baby! Keep the faith...that our Government will screw us at EVERY opportunity. Trust them at your peril; we are truly on our own. ;)

Makes you wonder if the real gold held by some banks for other nations is really there also. The banking system is basically a legalized formalized ponzi scheme. The social security bubble is approaching also. The government spent $13.4T of social security for pork now we are holding he bag. How many of these bubbles can burst before we really get into trouble?

I’m a little unclear on how this is anything but evidence that when prices drop, more is demanded.

The difference between paper price and physical price is a separate (and more interesting) phenomenon.

But this is what happens when you manipulate free markets - it often has unintended consequences far beyond anything that you ever imagined.

This manipulation of the price of gold is like government price controls, where a price lower than the market price leads to increased demand, which leads to shortages.

I've been focusing on 90% silver lately. My thought is if/when fiat cash crashes I want to have some silver that most anyone will instantly recognize as a US silver coin. Curculated, Good, or almost Fine Morgans and Peace dollars, Walkers and Barber halves, and Mercury dimes have made up my last few orders from Gainsville and Apmex.

I love the value of the 99% generic American buffaloes too, but I wonder how useful they will actually be in barters and trades with people that have never purchased PMs.

Either way, its always good to diversify. What did you guys buy? :)

...unleashed an unprecedented global run on physical gold and silver...

If that were true then we'd see prices go up.

They're down.  The only running people are doing is from pm's to cash.
