USAGOLD note 1: Does it not reduce to a simple formulation? Should we not be assessing who has the greatest staying power – the silver shorts or the Reddit raiders – an outcome yet to be determined? We appreciate what El Erian is saying, but we also question whether or not he is jumping the gun. As mentioned in the just-released February edition of News & Views: “There is a great deal of space, however, between making a few posts and moving a market the size scope of the global silver market.

“If there is one catalyst that is a driving factor for higher gold prices, it’s negative real rates. Nobody likes the very thought of seeing their savings accounts or fixed income bonds paying a rate that is less than the rate of inflation.”
