By Liberty and Finance / August 10, 2021 / marketsanity.com / Article Link

We shouldn't take the availability of gold and silver for granted. Mints have shut down in the past, and they could in the future, says Andy Schectman, President and CEO of Miles Franklin. "There is no bull market like a gold bull market because it's predicated on fear," Andy says. "At the same time you see the mints run out of product, you're not going to see the public rushing out to sell their only form of or first line of protection. In fact, they're going to hold on to it tighter than ever."
