Looking at whats going on in the world in the last few weeks, I cant help but think that price explosion in silver and gold could happen any day now.
I know I sound like I'm pumping up this stock (sorry if that is the case), but hear me out.

If you are in the camp that believes the price of silver and gold are manipulated down, the reason they are doing this is to prevent people from anticipating inflation, thus accelerating the event. Its well known that inflation expectations can end up causing inflation themselves, and what better indicator of inflation expectations than the price of gold and silver?

Fast forward to today, inflation is well and truly here. Energy prices are out of control and so are the prices of every other commodity. Shortages of just about everything, including labour. If you were a big bank manipulating the precious metal prices, wouldn't now be the best time to let go of the reins? A spike in the price of silver and gold would be hidden amongst the prices of other commodities, and it would become harder to prove that any manipulation took place.

Unfortunately this would be the final confirmation to the markets for out of control inflation, so I think the timing is critical. I am personally expecting that the US debt ceiling will actually be completely removed this time, and the spike in precious metal prices will occur almost immediately after.
