Gold and Silver continue to shatter records as their historic climb to stardom continues.

Gold has now eclipsed $5,240 per 1 ounce, for a total climb of 8.3% in just 7 days. Not to be outdone, Silver is now $114 per 1 ounce, for a rise of almost 24% in just the last 1 week.

These types of climbs inside ancestral stores of value always herald civilization-scale events to come. The fiat system is on life support, and Gold and Silver seem to be officially pulling the plug.
