做多金银的实质是做空自己

贵金属实际上是一个在定价过程中价值持续扩张，但终值为零的标的资产...

Just a story.

仅仅是一个故事。

A story that gets more valuable the more people feel unsafe.

当越多的人感到不安全时，这个故事的价值就越高。

If the world collapses, your gold becomes a liability.

如果世界崩溃，你的黄金将成为负担。

If the world does not collapse, your gold is pure speculation.

Either way, it is a trade built on fear.

无论哪种情况，这都是建立在恐惧之上的交易。

That is why it prints.

而这也正是它为何能不断上涨的原因。

有时候你必须对冲你痛恨的风险，因为市场不在乎你的道德。

But do not confuse the hedge with a worldview.

但切勿将对冲操作与世界观混为一谈。

Gold is not a future.

黄金并非未来。

It is a receipt for futures you did not build.

它是一张收据，证明你没有去建设本该到来的未来。
