Appreciate your views on that writer’s comment about worry. And I agree hardheartedly that the media often has a spin put to it. I had a few issues of my own with his statement but have found it easier, at least for most days, to ignore rather than take issue with most of the articles I read. I did not the author was quite selective in his choice of words. Gold futures rather than gold prices. I mentally replaced his ‘investors’ with the word speculators because at least in my own mind an investor buys gold, while a speculator buys paper contracts. Just a quirk in my thinking I suppose.
But I do think he kinda pegged the worry over GDP and economic growth as driving force, or reason, that some are looking at the Precious Metals as a form of safe haven, even with the markets going up. I took that, and admit I might be a bit optimistic in doing so, as more and more folks are seeing through the CNBS story lines and those fantasy land gubberment figures and have this gut feeling that things are not doing as well as so many report. Seems the popularity of one Donald Trump is one reflection of some not believing that all things are as well as some want us to believe.
So I say, buy silver and gold, and vote for Trump and get ready for a hell of a ride. The times, they are a’changing.
