Sleepy Joe & Gold
Just like with his impotent moves regarding soaring oil prices(strategic reserve releases and suspending the federal gas tax) Sleepy Joe will eventually try to “do something” about the coming soaring gold price. I expect that he will issue an executive order before the year is out to ban individuals from buying gold.(preventing retail sales by bullion firms and coin shops) This wouldn’t make owning gold illegal, just stopping future buyers from obtaining gold going forward. An FDR type move would never work as those who would voluntarily turn their gold in are few and far between. Those who have gold are not going to comply(non vaxers) and those sheep who would comply don’t own much gold to begin with. The unintended consequences (there are always some) will be a strong black market for gold and higher prices anyway. The biggest consequence will be an explosive silver price. With silver about to make all time highs above $50 eventually, the ban on new purchases of gold will only increase the demand for silver, freeing it to play catch up from the 50 years of price suppression. I will leave it to long term chartists to “calculate” the ultimate price objective from the 50 year silver cup and handle chart!
I just don’t see this. Banning purchasing of gold? They have spent years in the campaign to marginalize gold, why would they elevate it into contraband status? Better just to ignore it and try to manipulate it then refer to that effort as conspiracy theory.
You are trying to think “logically”, something career politician Biden is incapable of. Was it logical to ban pipelines and new oil production but suspend the gas tax and beg the Saudi’s for increased production? He reacts by doing political stunts not by actually addressing the underlying problem. The odds of my scenario happening are a lot higher than you think. Wait until gold prices break out to new highs above 2100.
I’m not sure I’ll live long enough to witness “wait until gold prices break out to new highs above 2100.”
Unless you plan on “expiring” before the end of this year, you will witness it. Possibly by Labor Day! New Year’s, for sure.
nope. not gonna happen. but regardless – i would wait for the gold price to actually start “soaring” before attempting to predict what some brain-dead booger-eating moron like biden and admin might do about it…
