He is hitting below red belt!!! How are we going to be able to watch the Super Bowl if they avocados and Corona beer goes up 25%?!? I was going to make some guacamole for Super Bowl but now I’m gonna have to change my plans. I usually use about eight Haas avocados at about 89¢ each. It was going to cost $7.12 but now it would be $8.90! The Corona long necks will go up 34¢ each. I was only going to drink about four, but that’ll bring me between the guacamole and beer to $3 more out of my pocket so I can happily watch the Super Bowl. OUTRAGEOUS! Just think if I did that every weekend, I would lose $12 a month….. 🤣🤣🤣 Expand Multiply that by tens of millions (people). Your numbers represent an increase of around 20%. That’s a 20% inflation rate. All for a plan that will fail. Quote

Generally speaking, stocks benefit from economic growth and stability while gold and silver benefit from economic uncertainty or crisis. If the stock market falls greatly, fear is usually high, and investors typically seek out the safe haven of gold and silver. That doesn't mean investors are right though...
