"but what is happening now is unexplainable." and I find that absolutely terrifying. What is going on behind the scenes that we know nothing about?

One thing to keep in mind is that many, many times huge bull moves in stocks are preceded by huge swings in sentiment as the stocks swing wildly in a base prior to the prolonged up move. Just look back at AAPL prior to it's massive multi year up move. I suspect the same is true for many precious metals since the buyers and sellers are all too human. Personally I pretty much believe in what Kyle Bass believes: in essence it is a long term investment that should be higher but not an overwhelming portion of the portfolio. A large position causes too much emotional turmoil, you may be right but you will pay way too much.

I am just glad that I have no margin debt and that the income I live on is totally separate from my investments. I guess I feel like the long term investors who rode out the 1973 bear market in stocks. Those who kept hanging on at the bottom saw gains of up to 60% over the next year. But all that happened after a seldom-interrupted bull market in stocks from the end of World War II for nearly 30 years. The bull market in gold is about half that long, but aside from any manipulation that may or may not be taking place, there must be a lot of people thinking "the gold bubble is over" and bailing out the way they should have done in stocks and real estate over the past decade. I guess that for me, personally, the time to cut back on gold investments ought to be whenever I find myself thinking that James Sinclair might be worth listening to. Meanwhile, let's try to enjoy the spring.

I see a few good thoughts already. My thought is that in 2008 Bernank made a choice to save the rotten financial system as it was at the expense of everyone else. Now that crazy rotten system just bids things up according to it's computer rules, as the derivative bubble continues to inflate until we hyperinflate. The rule of that rotten, never destroyed, old financial order is that gold has negative yield, and inflation is not a parameter. If it is, then BLS stats is what it will be! This is why long term bonds will not sell off. In other words, welcome to QE infinity, To support derivative bubble infinity! SSDD
