I don't see gold retreating any either.......silver should be following.....but as you said......not as fast and a bit more volatilityNot a bad ROI. If Harris wins, it wouldn't shock me if the price tops $2,800 or $2,900 by the time she's sworn in. I'd much rather Trump win and bring some sanity back to the economy. But even then--sorta like the Reagan years--we're gonna have some pain before the ship gets righted again. Gold is going to stay high. It's right at $1,000 higher than it was at the start of November 2022. The overnight $100 bump was, IMO, because investors saw right through the unmerited (and seemingly blatantly pre-election partisan) 50 basis points that Jerome Powell spearheaded.
Silver has also been going nuts, but not quite as nuts. Maybe I'll head that direction for the time being. One downside is that for the price of 10 ounces of gold, you'd be having to store over 5 pounds of silver.
