If it's so good to buy gold now, why are they so anxious to sell it?

The people who are actually mining, refining and selling are indeed getting the short end of the stick since the market has not had a working price discovery in more than 100 years.

Using derivatives, like COMEX etc, the government and all the regulatory agencies have been suppressing the metal prices using a million different criminal ways. The economists have been groomed to think this is natural and to come up ways to explain all this. So normal folks who are mining and refining these metals are as much victims of this system as we are.

To see why they are doing it, see my previous comment: https://greatawakening.win/p/142B0zdjsK/x/c/4OUhcqR4dy0 (TL;DR the fiat currency system causes inflation, and suppressing metal prices is the way to hide this inflation).

And to put it correctly, no one is anxious to sell it, they do it because it's been their profession for decades and they have gotten used to living under a non-free market system.

Ask yourself, if Fed printed 30 Trillion dollars in 2008 to bailout big banks, and for the last 2 years have been printing $100 billion dollars every month starting just before the pandemic, and in addition trillions of dollars in budgets last 2 years, why is the inflation only 7.5% ? Why isnt all this money not devaluing the dollar far more drastically?

If you find the answer to the question, you will understand why you need to buy metals, and anything else you believe in, rather than keeping it all in bank.
