RE: Why I think people that have physical silver are nuts - looking at you raybrockman
True. But then, in my mind (and if I held) then you must be prepared to sell at a high point to capitalize on your investment. Just holding does not seem (to me) to be a great investment. If the monetary system really does crumble, stocks will just be re-rated to oz's of silver. Even during the great depression, some business did well. I think crypto would be become a fill in currency before silver - in fact, that would be an interesting topic -could that have an impact on metals future prices? But definitely get your point, traditional they have been held as insurance - but for many it's there main investment - I am just questioning if that's wise and what alternatives are there.
If stocks got re-rated in silver, they you could re-evaluate, but no need to sell before that time. Other than that, I agree with you, and it will by interesting to see how crypto will impact silver and gold. I see bitcoin having many of the same attributes of precious metals and think some of the money that goes into metals now will go into bitcoin (moreso than other cryptos).
