Inflation ticking back up. Metals down. SMH.

The market is and has been way over priced for a long time. Other than mining companies of course. LOL. A good 20-30% correction is just what this market needs to get rid of the froth at the top. Irrational exuberance is what Greenspan used to call it.
I suspect if inflation continues to climb we will see JP reverse course and start to raise rates again. Metals will go lower. No idea where the bottom would be but I'm not selling anything.

When an ounce of silver will buy me more widgets than it did...then, I know, silver is going up.
Right now it will buy me more FRNs. Or more fiat in other flavors.
THOSE things buy FEWER widgets, and the difference is great enough that silver seems to be losing a little ground.
Of course that's because of a manipulated market; but this is how we measure whether our PMs are, at the moment, doing their job, protecting stored value.

Yowza. The market can play their game. Until it can't. Nothing changes the box of 90% silver coins in your closet. It is outside their games.

Big investors & corporations are hoarding cash like NEVER before
This is unlike anything we've seen
A thread
2/ Money market funds currently offer yields of around 5%
Which is one of the highest levels in the last 20 years
A 5% return may not sound spectacular
But in today’s environment, it’s compelling
3/ Compare that 5% cash yield to the S&P 500’s earnings yield
Which is currently around 3%
And you can see that cash yield is 2% higher than the S&P 500’s earnings yield
The latter of which basically measures the ROI from holding stocks
4/ Historically, stocks outperformed cash
But today, cash offers better return
This rare setup flips the traditional investing script
With stocks yielding less than cash, investors like Buffett may see stocks as a weak long-term play

Looks like there is decent support in the 25 area. I think the tariffs are going to make everything more expensive which will slow down consumerism to bare necessities for the average person. I think trump will do away with the stupid green new deal stuff as well which will slow demand for silver. Just my wild assed guess.
