Trump has been cheering for lowering rates. Not so much QE

You guys honestly sound delusional… stop listening to the YouTube doomer channels.
If we have a failed auction, nobody will buy your physical precious metals either. The dealers are already back up and essentially weren’t buying yesterday. Everyone knows this is a hot potato

Trump picked a guy against QE? Isn't that what Trump has been cheerleading for? That and lowering rates?

I don't.

We aren't going to devolve into some Mad Max dystopic environment, go ahead and get the "guns and seeds" theme out of your head if that's what you're thinking. We would quickly drop back to some variation of a barter society, but before long carrying around twenty chicks and four cows to trade for a bin of corn and a box of 9mm rounds will become too cumbersome so people will once again turn to silver and gold as storehouses of value, just as they have throughout history.

Keep the downvotes coming… I told you this was your blowoff top. It’s going back to $50

The most valuable things to barter will be things people are addicted to - cigarettes, booze, pills, etc. guns and ammo would also be valuable. Someone walking around with or hoarding a bunch of gold and silver will just be a sitting duck for someone with guns and ammo or a sitting duck to be physically overwhelmed and have their gold and silver taken from them.

The addiction aspect is a good point I don't think I've ever seen mentioned.

Hoarding precious metals doesn't mean someone can't also be strapped.

Which would be an odd thing to do for things which I was just told no one would want (in another post).

In a SHTF type scenario we might not buy things with our purdy silver coins and bars, but they could be melted down and used to make bullets and shot. I imagine knowing how to reload ammo would be a valuable skill to have in that situation. Plus you never know when you might run across a werewolf that needs taken out, and that could feed a family for a good while. For now I'll just collect them and enjoy their beauty until I can't afford them any more. Picked up a sexy 5 oz Libertad this morning, and I'll buy more if it keeps getting cheaper.

You only need a couple guns. You just need to know how to care for them. You need a lot of ammo.
After that, I think they’ll be a lot of value in canned goods, alcohol, and coffee. Also, random mechanical parts that will be needed for repairing other items.

When charts look parabolic, that means the top is LIKELY to be near. This chart looks parabolic.
Human nature to think things will continue to go will when you’re in the middle of a parabolic rise. It’s healthy to have pullbacks. Think of a skyscraper, they will topple without proper foundation. Going straight up like silver did means there was no foundation built in the price. This pullback may be painful but it’s healthy in the long run

Can’t we all agree this is fantasy and never going to happen barring some hunger games dystopian hellscape. We can’t even keep people at bay walking into a CVS. You think society is going to function bartering? Maybe after a purge event or something, but again… near zero chance it happens and nobody is going to give AF what shiny objects you have.
This has been a moderate industrial use case uptick fueled by a hot money trade. Congrats if you rode it. Just don’t be a generational bag holder. Take the win.

Gold is down 9%

Correct, all the PMs were in a parabolic rise. Healthy reset imo
Posted on 1/30/26 at 11:55 am to TigerTatorTots
Exactly… another clue the “this is use case driven” narrative didn’t pass the smell test. (Not saying TTT claimed this).
It was a hot money trade. It’s that trade is done. For now.

I just bought a GLD leap expiring in June 2028. $330 strike. Screw this.

I do agree with that, yes.

Someone with gold and silver isn’t a sitting duck. If you need to leave the country, gold is your best choice. Good luck trying to bribe border patrol agents with bread or booze. Good is money. It has a longer history than any fiat currency. It is accepted worldwide. You don’t need to explain it or sell it. And you can convert it to any local currency.
Sure unlike bread, you can’t eat gold. But it’s not meant to be eaten. But that bread will go bad in a week while gold will remain the same 10,000 years from now.

The current silver price action is almost impressively volatile.

So now the gold bugs, silver foxes, AND bitcoin maxis can all agree 10%+ moves in a day is not good for the “store of value” claim on a short term horizon.
