Warning:
Spoilers ahead. If you have not watched Agents of Shield Season 4 episode 22 yet I must apologise in advance. Howeve,r I found aspects of the plot analogous to what many people may experience this summer.
The Agents have found themselves in a virtual world called The Framework which is collapsing in on itself. People and things are just disappearing out of existence.
When the correction comes to the quantitative eased Juiced up and pumped up stock markets many people who thought they had wealth will find that wealth disappearing out of existence.
In the show, the agents were able to save their team by working together. We the common people have the chance to do exactly the same thing. Today silver is at $16.93 and climbing. Demand for the precious metal though is at a low point. The truth is that though demand from people is at a low point there is not enough physical silver mined yearly to cope with the demand.
How sad is it for capitalism that we have to depend on communist China to be the stalwart for true price discovery in the precious metals market. It's almost like the world we live in has been turned upside down and inside out. The stuff we hear on the news could be coming right out of a comic book or a tv show. The value of precious metals is based on paper future trading that will never stand for delivery. All one big fake and virtual reality framework.
I have heard guys say "It all must revert back to the mean". Hopefully, when it does, the majority of us, will be free of the globalised virtual financial matrix framework that is disappearing our capital out of existence. If capitalism only served a few where as the many were left to pick up the pieces of what is left after the capital has been sucked out through financialisation can we really call this capitalism? We would not live in a capitalist society if the society as a whole lacked capital. So just to be safe buy and hold on to precious metals.
Who knows?
