The gold and silver market are massively manipulated. Take a look at Gold funds. There is not enough actual gold in the world currently to cover the amount of money invested in the funds. The only real gold is the gold in your hands.
And btw, I’m not one of those people who hopes for great wealth as a result of some correction in these markets. Not that I find a damn thing wrong with that, as I am a capitalist!
But wealth doesn’t drive me. Like the ol’ song says, “I’m easy like Sunday morning.” I’ll be happy if the “system” doesn’t wipe out to zero, the meager savings that I have.
I’m not sure we can hope for much more than that, right now. This system has completely looted the middle class, looks like. :(
