Hard Money Heat Check

Take it easy...but take it.

There are few things I like more about NBA basketball than when a player gets so hot that it seems as though they can't miss a shot, no matter where they are shooting from. The legendary video game NBA Jam captured this beautifully, for those that remember.

“He’s on fire!”

A “heat check” is when a hot player takes what would normally be a shot that's borderline absurd because they are feeling so good and confident in their ability that they feel like they can “push it” a little. The difficult shot is supposed to be the determining factor as to whether or not the player is still "hot".

Here are some awesome heat checks to start your morning:

The point is that I'm having the same kind of “heat check” feeling about precious metals and hard money this week — let me explain why.
