So to keep everyone not interested in boring economics up to date: 2008 and 2020 saw great financial events of instability, and many an anon started stacking precious metals. The stock market is basically a scam, a degenerate shell of its former self - you only make good money if you're already rich without insider information - and inflation is coin clipping to gradually enrich the jews without waking up the goyim. 2% is healthy they say, right? Why is that, exactly? This is not a thread to tell you to ape into gold or silver - feel free to do it, but it's NOT an investment to make you rich, think of it of locking money in place until the global markets unfuck themselves. You decide the amount. In these last 5 years, the price of precious metals began to slowly rise. Traditional richfags usually look at these two prices - gold and silver - as a measure of market stability. Basically, when the price rises, people freak the fuck out and de-invest from all kinds of (((financial instruments))) and into precious metals. So jews invented all kinds of GS "futures" and other bullshitfuckery to have people invest in that instead. >Goyim, real metals are so hard to store, you'll get robbed! Mr. Shekelstein will watch over them for you :) So basically, each ounce of Silver available on the market today is co-owned by about 400 people right now. This is all done, all the tempering and tinkering, to (see picrel 2) keep the price down as much as possible. So the musical chairs runs a little longer. So jews can siphon off more wealth. Because they buy shit with the money. Blackrock and Gates own tons of farmland all over the world. Once they own most of it, it's game over. Your farmers suffer as much as they do so they sell their farms. See britain for extremes. This thread talks shiny metals and plans for bartering markets and the absolute STATE of the USD, which right now thanks to tariff fuckery looks the weakest it has ever been.
