A quick Friday post….It’s been a wild ride on Wall Street this week — all downhill. Stocks entered correction territory Thursday and are on track for the worst week since the 2008 financial crisis.

Our thoughts are that this stock market is like a balloon looking for a pin to POP. Is the coronavirus the pin?

Now you may also be wondering why the metals have been sliding down… seems strange… but as flippers looked for somewhere to move money to they took futures on the metals… however metals are not a quick rising profit taking venue… hence extreme pressure is now having a turn with metal prices…

Meanwhile perhaps the best investment for the long haul… good quality solid low mintage certifed coins… til next time!  Have a great weekend!
