    I also wouldn't be surprised if in the future pending demand they create a new "high end" model. I'm kinda surprised he hasn't pivoted a little more towards that Slate type model of a universal chassis design that could be more easily swapped out for body/trim options. I wonder if something...

    This is why I think we're seeing an overall flight of money into "harder assets" (gold, silver, even Uranium ETFs are up), and ETFs that focus on less bubbly, more traditional staples (like HDV). When thought of through a lens of risk aversion it makes sense with the growing sentiment that...

    I do find it interesting as much as people are saying that silver going parabolic is because of new technology which will require it (batteries) that doesn't explain the near parallel move in gold, and it certainly doesn't explain how the most unsexy of all ETFs is also moving this month...

    Here in Dallas, we have around 1-2" of accumulated sleet. Which of course means the whole city is pretty functionally shut down. I might get out in it this afternoon to scout the area and see how good/bad it is. Most of the freeways are moderately clear already due to traffic. Looks like...

    From a stand point of me just liking to make things out of silver, and .800 and .925 (sterling) being fine for that I wish this were true enough for the price on that "junk" to drop some. heh

    Historically..... BTC will tend to rally AFTER a Gold rally finishes/pops. Gold is still posting new ATHs, so BTC being somewhat subdued isn't that surprising to me. Question is if we're really seeing an irrational bubble in gold/silver prices, or if this is the "new normal". If the latter...
