If you have a link or story please share kg5, thanks. I don't see metals as being cheap at all. 17 years ago silver was $5, 10 years ago it was $10.
10 years ago gold was $800, have things gone up 1/3 in price since 10 years ago, ummm, yeah I would say some things have! But, we are also fooled by decrease in quality in many consumer items as price stays the same. China and Russia are in a bit of a gold race at the moment, you can see this in how they keep adding to their reserves, buying/opening new mines. China also knows it can just buy the mines and leave the gold in the ground for now, gold is gold.
Central banks did not have such interest in gold prior to the last run up in price, now they do, and they are not doing anything with it, these central banks are just stacking it away in vaults, and the demand, it is not abating
