Election Gold

The more you know about Andrew Jackson, the more you know about Donald Trump and why wealthy people donated $1 billion in the past three months to oppose him.

Assume there were two factors driving gold/silver prices up 40% for the past year. The first was election uncertainty, so I expected prices to drop post-election. And they did, but less than I expected. Silver down 4%, gold down 3%.

They also rebounded more than I expected. So the second factor, long-term expectations of US financial system, is the primary influence in the price rise.

"The Bank War was the name given to the campaign Andrew Jackson began in 1832 to decentralize, and eventually dissolve, the Bank of the United States."
