One only has to look at the YEARS of silver prices, and compare it against the YEARS of promises made in the same time period to see that he is 100% correct.
When the U.S. Government decides that it wants to stop colluding in the manipulation of precious metals prices?
Only THEN will the price of Gold and Silver be approach realistic values.
This government is DEATHLY AFRAID of ANY CURRENCY that might replace the Dollar and that they cannot control! That certainly includes precious metal currency.
In just a few years, the “digital” dollar will become a reality and the paper currency will be “deep sixed”. It is ALREADY in the works in the form of several bills traveling through Congress.
Even when THAT happens, precious metal prices will continue to be heavily manipulated.
I suspect the ONLY way we will EVER see precious metal prices return to realistic levels will be the collapse (or overthrow by revolution) of this government.
They have control of the price and THEY WILL NOT LET IT GO. To do so would mean the end of government.
