The markets do everything they can to throw us off course regarding precious metals. It reminds us of the street hustlers on 42nd St, who are experts at tromp l’oeil or “tricking the eye” as they play the old game of finding under which shell the pea is hidden. As a veteran of the precious metal wars, one day does not abort a multi-year trend just because it is lagging for a few months.
