I’ve been a fan of PMs for a long time, both physical and stocks. I listened to talk radio in the early 90s that harped on buying PMs, so I guess it wore off on me. I like junior miners and I also dink around with leveraged gold price stocks, which are scams for the uneducated and should be viewed as gambling. I see physical PMs as a hedge against government overreach and inflation but not an investment. With that said, given the global movement of CBDCs, PMs may just become an investment leading up to 2030. But the all-time highs you are seeing now are a result of people realizing that inflation is here to stay, the USD is weakening, the Fed isn’t going to solve that issue, and interest rates will likely start dropping in Q2 2024 with inflation still way above the “goal” of 2%. As an added bonus, central banks are accumulating massive amounts of gold, and guess what they aren’t buying? Crypto.
