In 2025, precious metals dominated the investment landscape, with silver, platinum, and gold all ranking among the year's top-performing major asset classes. Driven by geopolitical tensions, trade-war jitters, and a "perfect storm" of industrial demand (particularly for AI and electrification), these assets significantly outpaced traditional equities and bonds.

The top five performing major assets of 2025 were:
- Silver (+146% to +155%): The undisputed leader of 2025, silver's surge was fueled by its role in solar panels, electronics, and AI infrastructure, alongside massive investment demand.
- Platinum (+130% to +150%): Platinum claimed the second spot, benefiting from a "catch-up" rally after years of underperformance and its critical role in automotive and industrial sectors.
- Palladium (+75% to +95%): Rounding out the top three, palladium saw a sharp recovery as supply constraints and industrial needs for catalytic converters drove prices higher.
- Gold (+62% to +65%): Gold reached historic record highs above $4,000/oz in 2025, supported by central bank stockpiling and its status as a primary safe-haven asset during global uncertainty.
- Copper (+40% to +43.9%): Benefiting from the same electrification and AI data center trends as silver, copper posted strong returns to complete the top five list of major asset gainers.

| S&P 500 | +17% | Trailed precious metals significantly |

Look at Gold/Silver on a 1 hr chart 
Both have a HUGE smack down on the same hr. That's a coordinated specific manipulation
Wonder who benefitted from those sudden extreme moves ? Someone with foreknowledge of the coming moves ? ( Banks/Big Shorts )
But already the PM's are on the move back up. U can't suppress PM's when the Fiat System is swirling down the Shitter

Just as I posted yesterday.I'm actually smiling that some Heat has come off the PM's.
Need a bit of Consolidation before the next move to ATH's
The swings are getting to the extreme. If the Fundamentals are aligned, price will come back & retest.
This " Bull Market " is not over, but the Bull ALWAYS tries to shake off the Weak Hands.
Looks like it's time for the " Shorts " to cover their massive losses
" U don't book a lose unless u sell "
Price-sensitive buyers — typically long-term or physical holders — can afford to think in terms of value and accumulation. Liquidity-sensitive holders — those exposed through futures, options or highly traded vehicles — are governed by volatility and risk controls, not conviction
I saw this in an article & thought " A paper finance writer " because I believe that Physical Holders are Price Insensitive. I hold my Stack & will only sell if I have no other option & have a need to sell. I'm hoping to project Wealth/Value into the future. Hopefully to my Descendants.

if you ever wondered what opportunities exist in a major correction to buy the dip.....
Weirdly no selling issues when it was skyrocketing up by the minute.
Having said that it should always be the right of any business to decide whether to trade or not. Just not wedding cake makers.
