Thank you for pointing that out about the gold markets. I remember moves in these markets related to when Eastern markets are closed. Definitely something to keep an eye on - for those looking to pick up metal for a bit of a bargain.
How long can this go on?
I would say not much longer.
I only began paying attention to silver in earnest March 2017. I know people like yourself have been watching much longer so I hope you're right.
Do you know the @rtd youtube channel? I think you both would benefit from a public dialogue if you haven't already. You are both great silver and sound money champions for the people.
