Hi Robert32 ........ is that A Mag..... the presenter. If it is him OK will listen later, I promise.
Where is the guy, cannot think of his name now (hopefully will later) -- ran (CEO) silver mines in ? Canada ?- Mexico?- Columbia ?
He operated them knew the ropes inside out. He was great to listen to -- but if memory serves me, even from his perspective -- ziltch !
I am sceptical of 'experts'. (Covid saw many come out from under rocks - All possessing Uni Degrees ??? -as Ant Middleton from SAS said - ' No one teaches 'common sense' !!!) Have seen/ listened to many. Used to get heaps of emails from these male and female 'experts' predicting the 'end of/an outcome/if this happens, then this will happen ????' Some are world known ... and quoted in/on Media, sought after for interviews etc etc etc (?????).
So far 'hot air'
My answer-- 'It is what we as an individual want to believe to satisfy -help prove- our thoughts and most importantly our decision(s)'. Look at posting on HC if it is a positive the 'thumbs up' and scores , but if against our beliefs -and it may be spot on- not many thumbs up, little in scores. Does not fit our belief or decision.
At my age ( past 80) seen - listened - read about - etc many many ----- very few -if any- get it right. The great challenge ' the human race' we are a bunch of 'funny cattle/sheep'. Sometimes herd mentality takes over- and follow the leader other times -go the other way etc ...sometimes - '0' action.
Oh and those, in my opinion, supposedly some in charge of proceedings Law Makers etc ????? Some seem to be as much benefit as an 'a fly screen on a sub' when follow-up of laws is/are required.
When one reads information from the SEC USA (hope they are genuine !) of massive fines - BoA on my calculations $10,900,000 appx per day- 7 days a week.($82,000,000,000 since 2000) Also $3bill I think last year or 2020 ?? Add JPM.. If interested search 'Fines on Banks in US ' look at the many sites -put in the name of the Bank - But for clarification ----Then go to the SEC --- it is all there if interested. Oh , wonder who pays fines, from their pocket - share holders -- nah!
Who does one believe ------------ ain't too many in my books. Some ????? (make up your own mind) seem to be suffering sore necks from turning heads ?
Just, for me a simple (has to be ) reasoning:- (I am not commenting about future contracts)
- If there is a shortage of something tangible that is in demand, or just needed, usually the price rises. Yes/No?.
- If one replaces the shortage with 'paper' so as to cover any shortage then - that seems useless ?
- how bright is the 'authoriser' to issue something that is not tangible to meet a tangible item ? Oh my opinion.
Maybe someone could help me !!!!! Diana is a little confused also !
But thanks Robert32 - one must keep one's mind open - like a parachute - works best that way.
Keep safe all . Rant over - feel better now. Achievement ='0'
