I also am in the phiz in the hand crowd. I am amazed at people that supposedly buy phiz and have it stored somewhere else. That is nothing but paper.

I dabble in the futures market on some short term trade to hopefully get a few federal reserve fiat notes but the vast majority is in phiz in my immediate control.

Crime prevention, like securing the border? Their agendas handed to them are more important than what’s best for the citizens.
If they can’t get us to CONFORM to giving up our 2 nd Amendment they will simply keep law abiding citizens in Schools, Malls, Movie Theaters, Churches, unarmed sitting ducks who people will then ask for gun control because they gave up on their own rights to push for them or better armed security so it’s only fair the criminals hand over theirs too. Falls right onto their hands. Like that will happen. The latest was looking into making a bomb.
I think this kid may have been bullied. Every kid who talked about him said in effect he was weird or a outcast. Whether they went as far as bulling him they never seem to do anything about them.
Never once have I heard about better security.

“How are they going to convert that to physical Gold? It is impossible.”

Confiscation or extreme taxation. Simple

The only thing I would add is if the idiots are also using the ETF’s to make their fortunes in the paper markets they are providing the PTB with the money to control all the markets. I am 90+% physical but still have the rest in actual PM stocks….but no ETF’s since I discovered they can use that money in any way they want and in any market they want because the ETF’s only TRACK  the sector they represent. They have no obligation to buy anything within that sector. Seems impossible to get that point across to those who don’t want to believe it and have now become ETF day traders….but some day they’ll learn the hard way they have shot themselves in the foot and everyone else in the sector too.

I wouldn’t have my pile of physical do. It’s called leverage. I’m ready for the big one, bring it.

Lol My tin foil Hat almost fell off laughing at your heart felt post. Although when you don’t get out of the way of the traps sometimes it’s not so funny. Only way you can make any money on PMs is not to stay in too long but you really need to ask yourself if your coming out ahead or at least breaking even. If your not it’s not worth it.

The ‘normalcy bias’ for paper investing here really astounds me.  Most everyone here is aware of ‘the rig’ in the markets, yet you all continue to play the paper game… expecting something different next time.  What is that the definition of ?  Insanity is hard to admit.

I gave up paper years ago when I came to this realization of total control of the markets.  Yes, I took a loss to shed my  paper.  But I never looked back and focus purely on collecting physical now.

You paper holders keep talking about when the rig collapses.  You will NOT profit when it does!  It will be such a collapse that brokerages, markets, and paper  will all go down in flames.  You will not collect on the paper you hold.  Face it… it will be terrible.  Physical in your hands is the only bargaining chip you will have in a financial collapse.

I love you all, but you are idiots if you are playing in paper.

Thus endeth my rant.

Agree, the will be a lot of collateral damage when the rig fails – if it fails

Not sure what that looks like other than a whole bunch of poverty in the US, soaring prices, violence, maybe even civil war

Hard to see this world going back to a gold standard of any kind – I don’t know.

I keep buying the story, but this has been a long 7 years.

i too would like to see a rally that lasted more than a few days.  even more, i am certain there will be one.

the timing, as always, is the hardest thing to call.  sooner or later, the rig will collapse.  it’s that “later” part that’s bothersome.  i’m not sure i’ll live that long.  i continue to be amazed at how long the rat-bastards have been able to keep it running.  and yet, it continues.

another bothersome factor – nothing happens in a vacuum.  when the rig collapses, there will likely be “collateral damage.”  a little? a lot?

Can’t say I disagree with you or Alex.

I’d actually love to have an intermediate rally that went on for more than a day or two.

Pretty depressing place to be.

I too, fought the Fed …and the Fed won .

Their game will work , until it doesn’t , then watch out , Nelly !
The collapse will be colossal .

We need Physical G&S for that time , because our friends and family will be in dire situations , and will need us just to get the necessities of life .

Don’t fight the fed is an old wall street maxim. Buying anything PM is fighting the fed. The shares are the worst investment in the world and have been for a very long time. Only idiots like us think this time will be different. The most anyone could ever expect is an intermediate rally. JMHO
