If you believe a "2008-style correction (or worse) in the financial markets is likely overdue", then why have you not pulled out of the market?
Why have you not invested in a short position of the S&P 500? Inverse ETFs? Credit Default Swaps?
BECAUSE YOU DON'T ACTUALLY BELIEVE THE MARKET IS GOING TO COLLAPSE YOU FUCKING IGNORAMUS

b-b-but silver quadrupled in value at the peak of the last recession, which is the one we're still in but whatever.
All of what you see there I got late last year on sale, before metals went up 17%. I got the little gold bars for only 5% over spot, insanely good for the small amount.
I have a lot of money in my 401k, thinking of taking some out and getting some good shit, maybe some 1/2 oz gold bars or rounds, and maybe a meme Combi-Bar that I can snap into individual grams.

At the end of April, activist investor Carl Icahn said in a CNBC interview that the stock market is nearing "a day of reckoning." And he's put his money where his mouth is. According to SEC filings, Icahn Enterprises (Nasdaq: IEP) has a net short position of a whopping 149%.
Likewise, billionaire investor George Soros cut back his holdings in U.S. stocks by 37% in the first quarter of 2016. An SEC filing revealed that Soros now owns bearish options on 2.1 million shares of the SPDR ETF Trust (NYSE Arca: SPY), an exchange-traded fund that tracks the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
personally i've been toying with the idea of buying long term puts on the SPY. i also trade futures so the ES is a good opportunity for me. we'll have to see what the SPX does at the 2100 level.
if it drops below 2030, next legs are 2000, and 1980. after that, it's a big drop to the next support.

silver is hard to store as fuark but way undervalued compared to gold. so it's more like silver is the smart mans gold if he can stash it away that is.

>everything is about to collapse
ZH is click bait

zerohedge has been wrong, what, 10 years?
they are like peter shill, buy gold, sell stocks. then when they got it right once in 10 years they are like "AHA TOLD YA" even tho you are still running 100% behind in returns.
they are right about some things but doomsday calling is just hilarious.
bears make headlines, bulls make money. that how is has always been. i guess people just want negative news by nature.
>>1285579
im doubtful that's a correct move while we have 1000 years or something low interest rates. bonds are out of question and you cannot shovel the moeny under a pillow. pension funds are only getting to start switching to stocks
>>1285585
let me guess, you unironically support hillary too?
>>1285607
What the hell does presidental elections have to do with economics? not much if you look long term statistics.
They might be right about hillary in general who knows who cares. I would vote trump but president dont even have much power in states it's the congress
>>1285617
i just wanted to know what type of person you are, i would have more respect for you argument if you choose trump over hillary
i am a huge fan of gold tho

Fantastic job America. This was just a brief bull run before the real crash. The Great Recession is nothing compared to what's coming.
