When does silver start hedging against inflation?
I mean, the dollar is losing purchasing power but strong against other currencies.
Petroleum seems a better hedge, or maybe lumber.
The question is why and when.
Why, haven't we seen PM'S rise?
When does this hedge begin?
I have no doubt it will, but it is peculiar to watch this unfolding so counterintuitively.
It actually makes me believe the manipulation theory is more likely.

Will silver follow gold up? It generally does from what I've seen.
So what is known about POG other than it is at an elevated high and dirt cheap at the same time. No, I can't explain the elevated high and dirt cheap. It's an oxymoron and may be completely off base.
This article (I got the link from silverone's u.s. dollar thread, and have used it at least twice now) says much.

One of my favorite lines (actually a paragraph headline) is "Honest not Sensational: Gold’s Bull Market Has Yet to Even Begin"
Regarding "It actually makes me believe the manipulation theory is more likely. " from the OP, the article speaks to that as well.

Things go up, things go down. Right now, silver is getting pretty far down. Gold has not faltered as far. The DXY is seeing 20 year highs, but as you noted, that's just because the other currencies are in worse shape. What is the new best safe haven? When will PM's shine again? How long will this purchasing opportunity in silver last? I trust the economic experts almost as much as I trust the long range weather forecasts. The 5,000 year track record of PM's speaks for itself. It needs no cheer leader.

This is no longer posted in the Fed Minutes of January 2008, but still quoted here - https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna22592939. The FOMC minutes still quote MR. Reifschneider. as stating the same thing.

If history and reason and logic still matters, then it is only a matter of time before silver rises again - only to eventually crash. I have been following the silver market for over twenty years now, and at this point view it as a long term store of value - real wealth that is- and don't care too much what the price is now.

I guess people are selling their gold and silver to buy eggs, flour, and cheese.

Good one!
Unfortunately on some level (perhaps a bit higher up the household expense chain) there is probably some truth in it.
