Gold took half a year to rise 50%, and you scoff, saying it's something only the elderly play with. Silver is even faster, rising 50% in just one month, and you wrinkle your nose, thinking this speed still isn't impressive enough. Platinum starts to gain momentum, with a 50% increase in a week, and suddenly you can't sit still. Palladium is even crazier, soaring 50% in three days, and you haven't even reacted yet. In the end, even an inconspicuous commodity like tin by the roadside can surge 50% within a day. This year, we seem to have not lost to time, nor to inflation, but this pace and level of excitement make many people start to doubt whether they can keep up. The market is changing, and so is the mindset.
