As we peer over the horizon into 2023 there's no need for a crystal ball to have more than a fair idea of what this year will bring:

Silver, gold, and SVL priced in dollars will continue to rise. Dollars priced in silver and gold will continue to fall. ( ie it's the value of a dollar falling, not gold rising. You'll need only an ounce of gold or silver to get say 10,000 dollars, but why would you do that when these dying paper substitutes for gold ( currencies ) are being dumped?

This is a prediction that I'm happy to make, knowing that the world has irrevocably changed since 2020, and that change was accelerated on 24 February 2022.

To understand why, those of you who are interested and not fully versed in geopolitics, geoeconomics, and monetary and financial matters, may wish to do some light holiday reading. See the links to three articles below that taken together, whilst not an exhaustive body of work, still serve to form a bigger picture, and may encourage further reflection and research for those inclined to read.

Now that the Financial War between the West and Russia ( and soon China ) is well underway, the goal of Russia and China is to convince the US neoconservatives in control that resorting to desperate measures, including the threat of nuclear weapons, is a zero-sum game, when both sides have just as much to lose, to the extreme of total loss of both sides.
Let's hope we're all still here to enjoy 2024, and our gains from silver.

"The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values of religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted), but rather by its superiority in applying organised violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do."-- Samuel Phillips Huntington:The Clash of Civilizations, Chapter 2.For Westerners, or anyone for that matter, to forget this fact, one would need to know of it in the first place. Few do.

China and Russia have the military power to act in their own interests. The West always acts under the pretext it exists as a force for "good" in the world. When the myths that civilizations tell themselves cease to be convincing is when they pass into decline. That the US Empire's decline is death by a thousand cuts is self evident.

Disagreement with the underlying theme in these articles, is irrelevant.

How much has already happened?

What in all probability is likely to happen within the next twelve months?

Could anyone have predicted the tumultuous events of the past three years?

What is relevant is the fact of cause and effect. Or the cycle of life. So it is with the long history of metals and man; poverty, prosperity; death and rebirth.

No matter what your expectations or investments in silver or SVL are, there's no doubt 2023 will surprise even the most jaded individual.
