Next week…
Next week could involve a decent shake out event in the metals. This week’s action looks like nothing more than fugly bear flag action after a waterfall decline. Typically the bear flag represents a half way point on the way to hell.
If we are to get a major rally, I imagine the shakeout that precedes it could be very scary. If such a move does play out, I would want to see a large reversal by the end of next week or the week after though.
We’ll see I guess. I am still firmly in the camp that we are in midst of a 1-2 year consolidation and that we have at least a few more months of sideways to down grind before it reverses and we finally break out in the fall or winter of 2021. I’ll gladly take a move to $50 in silver starting now though. 🙂
If you have physical then you are well insured against any wealth, capital gain or banking bail in taxes. Who cares what the price in fiat is. This stuff is harder to come by with each additional year, so weather today or in 2 years, it is inevitable that the real assets will be real wealth. I am not getting shaken out at any fiat as inflation is a big tax on top all other taxes that you are exposed to.
Miner investors might be in a different boat, higher beta I suppose. ETF, not sure where you are at, but folks should do it at their own peril.
