In times of financial distress and economic calamity, silver tends to behave more like a precious metal with widespread hoarding of gold trickling down.

This Is How Bad It Really Is!

The 1929 Dow crash marked the start of the infamous Great Depression. We currently have a repeat of the pattern that led to that great crash in 1929. This pattern is basically a huge stock market rally (after a period of stagnation) that is driven by a huge expansion of the money supply (or credit expansion).
