I’ve never seen the spread this great. Not even during the bull run when silver hit $50. Holders of PM contracts, maybe not wanting to be left with worthless paper, are selling like mad. People are buying the real thing and dealers are posting shipping delay notices.
I wonder if besides metal if TIPS are a good buy now. Because inflation is coming at some point I would think, if the virus can be beat back without killing the host .
If you can, plant a garden this summer.
Even if you don’t know how to grow stuff this will be a good learning experience.
And you might get some food in the bargain.
