    greater supply or less demand cures high prices. prices are simply equilibrium of the two.

    When gold and silver move together, it signals the coming end of fiat money.

    I was simply answering your question.

    Yes...always high prices. The high prices were caused by excess buyers. Eventually you run out of buyers. They become sellers and it a race to liquidate. Voilà! !ower prices

    Assuming demand is fairly constant, increase the supply to cure high commodity prices. If it's coffee or soybeans, plant more coffee trees or plant more soybeans. If it's oil, do more exploration for oil or pump more oil from existing wells. Etc.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    Deflation, balanced budgets, fiscal responsibility would all lead to decline in high commodity prices.

    I agree though that is not going to happen. Stack metals, gold,silver, and especially lead!
