Six Silver Questions and Perspectives
Six Silver Questions and Perspectives
The next time you find yourself contemplating, worrying, or wondering with
anxiety whether its too simple to be true; it is not simple - its exceedingly
complicated.
Not because the fundamentals are all that hard to understand. And not
because in principle it is sound personal action in any time period.
But it is complicated because weve spent so many years off the rails of
sound economic principles that we dont recognize them when we see them.
And the inertia to change is very intense on an unspoken level. Each step we
take to make it right--to do what is wise-- is met with a startling resistance.
Almost an unconscious, collective river moving against progress.
We are obsessed with what appears around us as success its all
superficial. We know it, but its difficult to resist feelings surrounding it.

The following are a few questions that I fielded from a subscriber. They
struck me as questions from a sophisticated outsider, a new investor who
also happens to be a financial professional.
Once youve been at this for a while its hard not to focus on the sentiment.
And its easy to forget that there will be a new wave of investment demand
and a natural re-kindling of the buy low, sell high strategy - even though I
dont frame silver as a typical trade or investment. I conceptualize it as a
life option first.
Before we get to a few of the questions, I felt I needed to ask a few myself
From where does your interest in silver arise?
What was the series of logic that led you to this point?
What have you come to except about the current financial environment that
brought you to this point and these questions?
Why silver among all the other potential assets available to you?
1. The readers first question was actually a statement.
At some point it will be valued like gold is now, out of reach for most of us but always recognized for what it is and always had been.
It does require a paradigm shift. We are accustomed to spending dollars and
valuing everything against the dollar - as the reference point.
As you know from basic math and history, the dollar, like all fiat currencies
before it (reserve or no), rests on a very fragile foundation. To live through
this transition will not be easy. Gradually, but then all at once, we will be
shaken from the stability and what many of us take for granted.
Is it possible that silver could return to its equilibrium price without a
concurrent collapse in the world financial system or hyperinflation? Perhaps.
But no one can say for sure.
6. Finally, another comment.
I can certainly imagine some unethical people trying to acquire others
precious metal by theft, etc. And so the lowest of profiles for those in
physical possession would be required.
The irony reality--no need to imagine--is that unethical people have been
stealing the wealth from the masses (including you and me) right out in the
open for generations.
