Looks like some movement in the metals today (Feb 18th). What are your thoughts?

The stuff I read is talking about how a real slowdown in world GDP is going to cause real problems in the debt markets, and that this will require more money creation by the central banks.

Where do you think we are on the inflationary curve at this time?

    Michael Pento is concerned that the spread between Treasuries and junk bonds is historically low, and that junk bonds are rallying even while the world economies are slowing down rather quickly.

    That really should freak people out. At least a little bit.

    Yes, China accounts for 21% of world GDP and China is essentially offline when only 10% of their employees are showing up for work. That's affecting all of the companies with facilities in China, including Apple, Foxcomm, GM, GE, etc. On top of all that, Boeing's future orders have dropped way off.

    What does the slowdown mean in terms of money creation by the banks and how do you think that will affect the precious metals? That's my question.

    Take advantage of this blurb, who knows how long it will last, and take some profits. That's my take.

    If you are a paper trader, play your prescribed spread.

    From a physical standpoint, I see no reason to sell if profit is a motive. The spread to buy back in is a net loss.

    I'd like to figure out how silver is lagging so far behind gold. At the current price of gold, one would have expected silver to follow traditional technical attachment and be over $40 by now. Silver detached years ago and remains stuck at the worst of the gold/silver ratio.
