I mentioned last week. I was thinking about cashing out metal profits. I did so on monday. Sold off. But then r with a repurchased with a 7 % drop sell limit. Now my broker acct is pure cash holdings.
Im going to sit on it & watch. For a short while. See where bottom settles. I think the underlying metrics remain for a rally in both silver & gold. Investors have rushed back into the dollar and the associated us do llar futures etf's. The metrics are not there, imo. To trust the dollar or tbills.
In other words. Investment uncertainty just bumped up a big notch.

I have to look it up. I think the # is $50k it might still be $30K. That you can make a 1 time gift in that amount- tax free to each of your children. This might be that moment.
