Precious metals pricesare down this morning on the heels of the largest IT outage in history caused by the cyber security firm CrowdStrike Falcon®.\xa0 \xa0 Even though this IT outage caused major issues around the globe including grounding airports, major corporations and banks. Luckily, for humanity, this issue or "bug" has already been discovered and a lot of systems are coming back online. \xa0 For me, this is a perfect reminder of why we take actions to protect ourselves against the unknowns that can be thrown at us at any time. We never know when we might wake up and need something physical to barter with. \xa0 Our phones have been busy this morning as customers are looking for physical protection in a digital world. \xa0 I'll personally be buying more small form silver today. I'll also be reviewing my entire personal protection plan again today. Stay safe out there. Stay protected. \xa0 - Chase Turner, CEO |
