This article is in two parts. In Part 1 it looks at how prospects for gold should be viewed from a monetary and economic perspective, pointing out that it is gold whose purchasing power is stable, and that of fiat currencies which is not.

First Majestic Produces Silver and Gold in the United States and Mexico
First Majestic is a publicly traded mining company focused on silver and gold production in Mexico and the United States. The company owns and operates the San Dimas silver and gold mine, the Jerritt Canyon gold mine, the Santa Elena silver and gold mine, and the La Encantada silver mine.
In 2022 these mines are projected to produce between 32.6 and 34.6 million ounces of silver equivalent with an all-in sustaining cost of $17.68 to $18.42 per payable silver-equivalent ounce.

The company offers a portion of its silver production for sale to the public. Bars, ingots, coins, and medallions are available for purchase online at First Majestic's bullion store at some of the lowest premiums available:

With about $30 trillion tied up in dollars and dollar-denominated financial assets, foreigners are bound to become substantial sellers -- even panicking at times.
The implications are very far-reaching. This article limits its scope to big-picture developments in prospect for 2023 but can be regarded as a basis for further debate. ...
