Just exactly what happened with silver a few weeks back.
Don't panic. HODL!!!
Agree. Silver dipped big time this week too.
All because the Iranian Battle is won. But the Silver deficit & inflation are still real.
Ya' would thunk that some of these "smart" people would get behind PDJT instead of what happened to Julius Ceasar!!!!
Just a lil' history lesson!!!!!
BREAKING: Gold just posted its biggest weekly drop in 43 years.
Down 10.5% to $4,490 in a single week. You have to go back to 1982 to find a worse week for gold.
But here is what makes this historically unusual.
Every major gold crash in history happened for a clear fundamental reason.
March 2026: War raging. Inflation rising. Oil refineries burning. Three US warships deployed.
All of those are fundamentally bullish for gold. Yet gold just had its worst week since 1982.
So what is actually happening?
Three forces hitting simultaneously:
The last time gold had a week this bad was 1982. Within 12 months, gold had rallied 50%.
History does not guarantee a repeat. But 43 years is a long time between dips like this.
If I could go back to 1986 when I had $20k I'd buy $10k of gold and $10k of Microsoft stock, and then get ready to start laughing.
All you need's a hot tub and a Russian energy drink ;)
😂
I would have just put it all into apple and then laughed all the way to the bank :-D
i think that's exactly what Forrest Gump did! (hate to bring up Hanks though)
Gold prices have seen a dramatic increase since 1982, rising from a low of around $296 per ounce that year to over $4,500 per ounce in March 2026. This represents an appreciation of more than 1,400% over that period
If only more people understood this.
MONEY retains the same value in relation to fiat currency, always does.
I remember when my dad put all his money into gold at around 150 per. I thought he was crazy at the time....oh boy....
One day last week I checked the silver futures price on CNBC and there was a headline saying that the price was down big on inflation fears. It made no sense at all, since that would normally be a reason to buy and see the price go up. 🙄
Seems like a killer time to buy some gold
HODL
ignore the news.
buy silver and monero too, while they're down
stack you sons a bishes
Stack what?
If you can't hold it, you don't own it.
Silver is fine.
Yeah I noticed that the other day, they hammered the shit out of gold pounding it down.
Funny they have mechanisms to halt trading on sharp increases but apparently not for sharp declines.
Here's a great video that explains it:

10% isn't a crash, it's a correction and a massive buying opportunity.
Great way to DCA for the inevitable upturn. Silver the same, better actually than gold as the upside potential percentage-wise is far better.
Jan. 01 ,2026 - close : $4321.48
So only UP $ 168.53 in the last 81 days
Is it a correction or a throttle back so the nozzles don't melt down🔥😜
