For several months, gold and silver prices were sky-rocketing. However, for those running their own "central bank" by physical possession of gold and/or silver, nothing happened because the ounces of their precious metals did not change. They still had the same wealth measured in ounces. So when gold and silver prices rise, those who sell God's money, the "universal currency" in Baha'i teachings, will be the losers. Those who maintain their savings or buy will be the winners. This is not financial advice; call it a religious principle.
Summary: Don't sell your silver or gold no matter how high the price goes. Why? Your physical metal represents your savings, your wealth, measured in ounces, not required for living or operational expenses. Of course, if you do not have other income, yes, you may have to dip into part of your savings.
Most reputable and competent analysts argree on the basic "fundamental analysis". First, governments are creating unbacked fiat paper money at a historic high rate. Second, central banks are buyers of precious metals. Third, industrial demand for silver (those solar panels, EVs, etc) is far greater than supply from miners. Fourth, increased silver price acts to allocate existing supply. The foregoing four real-world fundamental factors are expected to be in play for a decade or more. In conclusion, at present, we are at the beginning of an awesome rise in gold/silver prices.
When Gold/Silver Price Drops
In the last week or so, precious metal prices have dropped dramatically. Social media, including YouTube videos, inform us of public panic to sell their gold and silver. One report from China featured failure of people there to "get their money back" out of gold investments with an apparently fraudulent company. The media is pushing hard to direct people to sell their gold and silver as soon as possible. This "social engineering" campaign may prompt many to sell causing further price drops.
On the other hand, especially those who studied the gold articles in my book -- "Essays on Baha'i Topics", this situation is yet another affirmation that there is a God. Many people may get a great opportunity to get rid of plummeting fiat paper money, and add God's money -- gold and silver -- to their savings. So while wicked influencers guide people to sell real money in exchange for paper, this may be an opportunity to do the reverse with any excess in paper money inventory.
In addition to social engineering, the wicked of the earth have manipulated silver and gold prices much lower. They can print infinite amounts of paper money to sell metal that does not exist and they do not have (called "naked short selling"). The size of the price drops is merely an indication of how desperate the powers-that-be are.
Not to worry. The same principle applies: no matter how low fiat money prices of silver and gold go, do not sell. The manipulators want you to get scared and sell. Why? They want what you have. And they know how to do it -- scare the hell out of you. As the social disintegration worsens, the evil manipulators want to have all the silver and gold (real money) and you to have none.
Notice that comparing the weight in ounces of your gold and silver between the recent price peak and today, nothing has changed. It is the same number of ounces, right?
Summary: do not sell real money savings no matter what happens to fiat price.
When To Sell?
If the answer is "never", your plan might be that this wealth may pass to your heirs or perhaps to a worthy organization or charity. If the answer is need to pay for living or operational expenses, one might prefer reducing costs rather than selling some precious metal savings. For example, move to a cheaper residence. Sell other stuff, not your gold and silver. Adopt a more modest and cheaper life style, including preparing meals for yourself, which might also be more healthy.
Mad Max Apocalyse
As part of the campaign to scare the public, partly to prompt the public to sell their gold and silver, popular culture in social media and movies feature a "Mad Max" apocalyse scenario. In this scenario, everybody is starving, killing each other and everybody looses. But it is often the case that the majority is wrong and a contrarian view may be beneficial.
Consider that the elites, the 1%, the powers-that-be, don't want a "Mad Max" scenario where they would also be starving, being killed and so forth. What if they want to engineer a social collapse and reset that would be very challenging but less extreme than total armageddon?
In such a scenario, it may make sense for the little guy, the 99%, so to speak, to hold in their physical possession small denomination silver coins known as "junk silver", shown in the illustration above. Why? Everybody recognizes these coins. The smallest -- dimes in US silver coins -- could be most useful in buying food (a chicken, a dozen eggs, etc) and other items where the seller may not be able to make change for larger coins like quarters and half dollars.
Thus, the little guy might focus on purchase of the smallest size silver coins recognizable in his/her particular country. Even in the poorest countries on this earth, one might find that with one days work a week, the proverbial little guy can buy one of the smallest silver coins.
When all is said and done, he/she who has the gold and silver rules.
