Two features of the current financial predicament jump out at me.
First we don’t really see what is going on. We get to see the dog and pony shows on See-EM-BS and CNN. Lots of bluster, bloviation, buffoonery and all forms of persiflage, is readily available, but no hard core news. We have no idea how bad things really are or where trillions of $s are really flowing. I haven’t even gotten $1.
Second the news seems to be presented in such a manner as to divert attention away from the actual causes and the crooks that should have by now been convicts. What used to be news is now spin and propaganda.

I give joe six pack a lot of grief, but soon pain will clear his vision. As more and more people feel the pain and start to look for themselves rather than sit back and be spoon fed progagandpoop, I believe that silver will be the go to investment. People would rather buy silver at $15 than gold at $1,000. If they keep looking to find value and security $ that would otherwise go to the ETF paper will go to physical and pm shares.

As things get worse for the global economy they will get much better for the pms. It is sad that it takes so much pain to get people to open their eyes.
