Reminds me of the Tulip rush in Holland . This Gold rush looks to me like a classic bubble. Totally demand driven. Rhenium is an element more rare than Gold. It is vital for Jet Turbine blades. It currently sells for less than one tenth the price of Gold .

True, but not quite accurate, it plainly states on it “Federal Reserve Note”, few know what that means since they changed the wording....it is a Debt instrument, that comes with a “Promise” from crooks to pay.

Down goes the Federal Reserve note and all their debt instruments.

What do you gurus think of sterling jewelry? A while back I looked over eBay and the fever didn’t seem to have caught on there, except for the signed stuff.

You can value sterling jewelry like silver itself,,,,based on the silver content and weight (a reputable coin dealer can do that for you).

Silver demand is not a bubble. They can’t mine enough silver to keep up with demand.

For our lifetime the price of gold and silver have been manipulated to suppress the price. Now that they have become untethered they are going to rise to their natural price.

Bitcoin preforms an important function . It lets capital move around unbound by greedy looting countries. You don’t have to smuggle it out in cleverly hidden shipments . You can transfer it with simple key strokes on a computer. Because it is nothing more than a clever mathematical construction I’ve never been interested in buying any of them. At least Gold is real and cannot be created cheaply.

Exactly. Gold isn't climbing, the dollar is dropping.

The correct title would be "Dollar Drops Below 1/5,100 Of an Ounce of Gold."

Gold is money. Apples and aircraft carriers.

Tulip bulb mania was interesting. It wasn’t that people were especially stupid in that episode. The problem was the escalating mania went on far longer than thought possible. As every schoolboy knows the main drivers in the market ls are fear, and greed. People started speculating on Tulip bulbs because they wanted to make money, “I’ll know when to get out” that sort of thing. Fear of being left out in a quick riches scheme. Nobody actually believed that Tulip bulbs were an asset or store of wealth. But it was possible, for a time, to become fabulously wealthy speculating on them. Caveat Emptor
