Oh my! I never in my wldest dreams saw $94 silver and $4500 gold.

Our poor dollar is getting weaker, and I am so glad I have been collecting for years.

Where do you guys see this going over next year? Demand is outstrippng new supply 3/2 right now with demand increasing.

Just taking a break from..... šŸ˜Š

I am betting silver will continue to rise, and these original bank rolls will have a premium if it drops.

I have been collecting coins since 1967, at 7 years old. Never thought I would see the price of melt equal or exceed uncirculated silver dollars. Even the slabbed common dates now.

So I bought a few rolls over the weekend.

The mining stocks lag the price move. They will be printing money. PSLV, PAAS, AG.

Been collecting silver for almost 30 years. Morgans and bars were my go to items. I almost gave up on it. I guess my patience may pay off.

I bought a pile of rounds, coins and sterling jewelry from an old HS friend in July or August. She was needing $ for a home project. Silver was around $40. I was nervous.

I paid her more than she could get in Omaha or Council Bluffs. I feel a tinge guilty now. I never expected it to more than double.

Silver has a LONG way to run yet as it has been beaten, manipulated & suppressed for 180 years... Example: just to get back to where it should be for inflation based on 1980's ATH of $52 it should push it to $200... if the historic GSR was back to 15:1 we should see $307. That's not to mention the actual physical shortages due to consumption and the supply shock alone is gonna push Silver to Unobtanium. I truly see a day where we're at 1:1 GSR but even if that never happens, you could very easily double or triple your money buying in right now. My True prediction based on decades of investing in Silver and research is that Silver reaches $600 in 2026...

In addition, the consumption of Silver is through the roof! Solar, EV's, Phones, Medical, TVs, data centers, anything energy related needs tons of it! if you want an interesting read go look up Samsung's new battery! Less than a 10 minute charge with 1K range for EVs! and it takes a ton of Silver.... Load up!

600 would be insane BUT who would have ever thought that Bitcoin would be worth anything at all.

I buy silver stocks, so we will see how that goes!

Is this a buy low, sell high thing? Just raising cash? I own a small amount of silver but don't know much about this stuff.

Well, remember that Gold and silver as an investment is a bit different than say mutual funds and individual stocks in that it doesn't create dividends or stock splits and such. you simply purchase at a certain basis and and sell at either a loss or a gain from that basis. Seems to me that this has risen pretty high and who knows it may go higher but I'm pretty please with my ROI as it sits now.

The PM market is fairly frothy now and has been over the past year. I have been buying silver for the past 5 years and started with gold last year. Historically, silver is far more volatile than gold, but both have been good buys and I expect PM to continue marching forward, with the usual ups and downs.

I think the upswing has long term staying power due to central banks around the world buying gold, which allows them to de-dollarize, and the process of de-dollarizing is here to stay (for fairly obvious geopolitical reasons). This is a long-term structural shift, so buying gold is a good long bet.

Silver is a bit harder to read, but I'm continuing to buy, even though it could be a bumpier ride.

Having a strong hedge and safe haven against dollar debasement/depreciation is a sound strategy. I'm in.
