Silver at $94.50. Heading to $100. I predicted $100 by mid year, might be $100 by February

Well you're predictions have panned out better than Inke's $200k BTC ones for xmass gone.
Silver's $140/oz down here now, Gold 50 bucks shy of $7000. Personally I think it's in for a decent correction, hence I sold several kg last Saturday. I have a bit of a track run picking the tops, I never sell much, but I just like to take a little profit on the way up.

Psychological reasons mostly, I don't want to feel like I missed an opportunity. When the paper markets collapse bullion will, for a while, go down too most likely as they clear the enormous paper Gold and Silver positions. People and corporations will sell it to stay afloat or meet margins. At least that's what happened in 2008. Silver futures made sense for industrial users but then they got abused by gamblers. Silver derivatives are mostly just toxic sludge.

Couldn't help myself, went back in today and sold a few oz of Gold too. I know they say you never sell your Gold, but what the hell 8) There were two buyers for every seller, dealer was eager as hell to get some in the door because it's a $500/oz markup here.

Dealers Buy at $6800 Spot $6960 Sell at $7290

The Correction can begin anytime it likes now :P

Hey Inke... You should have sold some of those satchos at the top when I told you too. Always take profits, Always.

Well my Stacked SAT's will never be sold under my watch.

The gold is mostly jewelry that I bought for my wife, so it's hers. She is not willing to sell, and I'm happy with that.

We are keeping our silver for medicinal reasons in case we get another Carrington event.

I did sell quite a bit of SOL in July of 2025 as we were working over our budget.

8O If you believe it works as an anti-bacterial, get into it now. Why go to a doctor and pump pharmaceuticals into your body. I never bought the whole colloidal thing myself, that's just a money making scam, like taking fresh oranges and extracting the ascorbic acid so they can sell it in tablet form. But there is more to vitamin C than just that one chemical, the oranges, lemons, etc have accompanying enzymes that work is combination with the acid. Colloidal silver is the same, it's a full of charged particles basically that have bound themselves to other atoms. It's supposedly a "simple" way to get the antibacterial protection without going through the more natural process.

The blue bloods stayed healthy through the plagues by consuming elemental silver off their plates, unaware of it's health benefits. Just toss a hundred old silver coins in the bottom of a big water filter, the atoms will come loose by the billion and you'll get a nice daily dose. Or suck on a pure silver coin :P It's like iron deficiency, why buy pills? Just cook on a cast iron skillet and you be scraping off all the iron you'll ever need.

And we know you have all the answers don't we troll. The only problem is, you are wrong on every score.
EV transition FAIL
Alternate energy is the future FAIL
ShaleOil is as good as conventional oil FAIL

Got all your money in paper funds, ready for the GFC-2, totally missed the two decades long bull market in Gold and Silver FAIL

Just another shitkicker in a suburban house, watching the TV and awaiting his orders :cry:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')oland’s central bank has approved a plan to purchase up to 150 tons of gold, reinforcing its position as the world’s largest reported sovereign buyer and accelerating a reserve strategy that could place the country among the top ten gold-holding nations globally.


Yes Gold. Not tesla shares, not buttcoin. For all it's posturing I bet it'll switch across to the BRICS when the times right.

The avalanche is coming. When the Fed is forced to monetize the debt, and the sovereign debt crisis that is already consuming Japan and threatening Europe finally arrives on America’s shores, where will the $100+ trillion in these bond markets go? Where will capital flee when the ultimate safe haven is revealed to be the source of the risk? This is what gold and silver are telling us right now. They are sniffing out the coming crisis in the bond market. They are anticipating the coming wave of Fed money printing. They are front-running the great capital rotation out of paper assets and into real money.

Good point. Although his incoherence as of late still doesn't rival "evolution isn't real because whales be biggly!" of the local homophobes.

Silver Museum Emptied in Massive Overnight Heist

Zilvermuseum Doesburg Netherlands. No surprise they got ripped off, Woke faggots too busy pandering to rapefugees. Expect more of these sort of Heists.

This should blow your mind:

-silver is in a massive supply deficit to the tune of -187M ounces per year
-It's been in a structural deficit since 2019
-deficit has been getting worse
-a MASSIVE cumulative -1,194 MILLION oz deficit since covid
-primary silver mines produce only 28% of global supply, with 72% coming as a byproduct from other mining
-The paper silver market remains massively leveraged, with less than 1% of futures contracts being delivered physically
-China has restricted exports of silver
-it was declared a critical mineral for US defense production in Q4 2025
-COMEX daily notional trade volume is 220X the daily global mine production
-this means 7-8 months of global mine supply is needed for 1 DAY of Comex trading

Yes, fantastic! I was at a local craft market today, bought some beautiful Turkish rugs, and a few kg of natural honey. The honey guy started talking about Silver. He's going to buy some. It's going mainstream alright, might go to the moon! One day I'll probably have to offload half of what I have just to lock in the insane gains, but that would be $300/oz or better probably. What's the point of selling if you don't need the money though? And a Lambo wouldn't get into my driveway without bottoming out.

Now I feel like Inke always wanted to feel :lol:

And I'm glad I sold those kg when I did, you should never be greedy, that's what's fucked the bitcoin bros over, Lambo Greed!

Yes the dealers are happy, the sellers are very happy, and the new entrants are happy too. But they'll be nervous, I remember walking into the coin dealer back at the beginning and handing over a few thousand dollars, walking out with a small handful of coin. It took me a week to feel good about the purchase, and that was after looking at the charts and knowing I was buying in at some of the lowest prices in recorded history. The Silver came next, the absolute cheapest price in like 600 years. Incredible, staring you right in the face it was. I simply couldn't understand why no one was interested in it?

This is what I saw

Oh, some of us are paid to be right a bunch more than "once". We are required to do it constantly. After all, America wasn't built on the backs of theose who can only be right once.
