Silver and gold. Most people don't hold either. They see those charts shooting up vertically and immediately think "That ship has sailed, I'm way too late to get in now." Here's the thing though—this applies to literally any asset class you can think of. The real kicker? You actually can still jump in. The timing anxiety is mostly just mental noise.

Ha, it's the same old story. I thought the same way in 2017, and what happened? I missed a wave, then I aggressively bought the dip at $3,000, achieving an annualized return that outperformed 90% of people. Psychological resilience is something that can only be built by putting real money on the line.

It's a mindset issue, brother. The FOMO in precious metals is no different from other assets... Basically, it's just that when prices go up, you regret not getting in earlier, but in the end, you miss out even more.

It's a mindset issue. Every time I say I'm late... and as a result, I miss out on more opportunities.

It's just a mindset issue. Those who truly get on board never worry about these things; after all, you have to suffer a loss eventually to understand.
