This board is for the benefit of those who understand that what happened in 2020 is bringing a gold and silver stock boom without precedent. Phase I of this period ended early in 2022 being followed by consolidation.
From mid-March 2020 to nearly the end of July of that year, the price of silver rose 100 percent. The price of gold went up over 30 percent. Setting aside peripheral reasons for these moves, the larger part of that arose from a massive expansion of printing-press money, along with the artificial suppression of interest rates in the US. The spending continues.
Though the Federal Reserve began to reverse the direction of interest rates in Q1 of 2022, inflationary pressures on the US and global economy remain. Moreover, many tipping points suggest that the economy will be more serious impacted by supply chain disruptions than anything having to do with interest rates. If so, this should soon be supportive of precious metals prices and an easing of interest rate increases.
Meanwhile, global economic conditions and military belligerencies worsens.

Participation here is welcome to all, novices and pros, as the seeking of knowledge should be accompanied by a willingness to share it too. Moreover, we sometimes learn more about our own reasoning when we try to explain it to others.
Traditional rules of civility will apply and off topic social exchanges will be allowed to some degree. Along the same lines, and as politics can not be separated from anything related to economics, please attempt to be as unbiased as possible, and be respectful of opinions that may not align with your own.
