Hmm, quarantines and travel restrictions sure anchor a lot of people down. Interesting thought.
>the market is all manipulated, the price of silver could be 10$ per oz if they needed it to be.
Years ago I had a windfall profit and bought 1,000oz of silver at $10/oz. Held it for years until I got disabling injuries from an automobile accident. Went to sell it only to find it was only worth $6/oz.
Pissed me off so badly I hobbled out to the shop, polished up my body working tools and started working on making jewelry out of it. Ended up learning a lot about making jewelry and earned far more than the $10/oz I'd originally paid.
