"BofA finds physical demand now key."

Really? That's what they pay these people for? It's always been key.

Right Mike

On a related but slightly tangential note;
It always leaves me shaking my head when some people talk about returning to a gold standard while also suggesting they could do this and NOT have a guaranteed way for a citizen to exchange their cash for gold on demand. What have you accomplished if you say your money is “backed “ by gold but you don’t give the average guy the choice of holding gold or fiat?
No serious gold standard person would accept a situation like that. If they do they aren’t capable of thinking it through and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

It’s the completely filled d bands that gets them every time...

“In the case of a completely filled outer 𝑑-shell (i.e. in the case of copper, silver, and gold), this screening is most efficient and the reason why these metals are noble. “

They just can’t resist a completely filled d band..,

It's a reflection on how unjust the current fiat creation/banking model is that a return to the dog's vomit of a Gold Standard is even considered.

In post collapse, we may move to a Dried Fig Standard.
