Loading ...Like many others who post on this forum, our assets, which have been mainly PM-based have since 2012 been dismal performers. I do not pretend to understand the details of the trading mechanics and market manipulation tactics described in the link below, but at least for the first time now I am finally getting some understanding of what our PM-based investments have faced since 2011 and 2012. That realization of what we have been up against for the past 5 or 6 years does not reduce my pain and annoyance.
In the link below, if you read the first article by Aleksandar Kocic, titled ‘How the FED really killed gold in 2012’ and then the accompanying comments in the same link from SRSrocco (Presumably by St. Angelo), and then the following viewpoints from several others under the comments section, then there does seem to me to be some glimmer of hope – namely, that amongst the alternative places where one could invest their life savings, the writers of the linked material do still speak positively about the future value of any holdings of physical gold and silver.
I find little to encourage the hope that the manipulation since 2012 is going to end, but I am encouraged by the idea that it remains a good idea to hang onto any physical gold and silver one is fortunate enough to now own. Cheers. all. Equiz
