I'm too poor to buy gold. There I said it. Nonetheless I buy silver eagles partly because they're beautiful coins but also I can afford silver.

But is there a point to buying silver now? I was reading a subreddit the other day and kids were saying metals were "something boomers still waste money on".

I mean, seriously?

I think the blue is adjusted for inflation, hence it being so high in 1980 during the Hunt Brothers incident.

The inflation in the graphics these days are provided by government data. Hold your horses for a few until the clean data comes along.

Yeah, of course it's vastly under-representing inflation. They think it only reached 9% over the past few years.
