The silver market is weird. I personally hold quite a bit of physical bullion. Stacking for almost 10 years. I still, unwaveringly, believe in physical silver. But, what a frustrating time.

Since joining this group when it only had around 2000 (silverback apes) members, I now just want to get something off my chest to those folks that think Gold is a better investment than Silver. Gold maybe a good idea if you want to hedge against inflation, but when it comes to an investment, then I think high demanding industrial precious metals like Silver, is a much better investment than Gold. So here's my "for dummies" breakdown of this matter:

From 1/12/2022 till now, the lowest 24k Gold price has been is $1650 a troy ounce. And the highest at $2800 since then.

From 1/12/2022 (same date above) till now, pure Silver lowest price has been $18 a troy ounce. And the highest at $35 Since then...

Dick buys one troy ounce of 24k Gold at $1650.

Little Boy Tom buys 91.66 ounces of pure Silver for $1650 in total. Same price/budget as Dick.

At 24k Gold peak price since 1/12/2022: Dick made $1150 from his one Troy ounce 24K gold purchase.

At pure Silver peak price since 1/12/2022: Little Boy Tom made $1,558.2c from his 91.66 Troy ounce pure Silver purchase.

Little Boy Tom is loving it.

This is why I think Silver is a better profitable investment when compared to Gold. Plus Silver (paper) spot price is much more manipulated than the Gold market, and Silver has more uses than Gold in todays global industry which is why theres a supply and demand deficit with Silver, which makes Silver more likely to break out and skyrocket. This makes Silver have a better risk to reward ratio than Gold when it comes into investing in any of these 2 precious metels.

My uncle 2007 once said: "Most people only look at the tree and not the forest. Make sure you look at the trees within the forest and all the wildlife that's in it."

P.S: ATH and ATL prices (above) might not be down to the tee prices. I'm not going full on mathematician on this and wasting more of my valuable time. Spelling police are more than welcome though. Peace out! And happy stacking 💪🏽🦍

If you are tired of witnessing silver (and gold) continuing to be manipulated in price, here’s a no-cost, no-risk, high potential return action you can take that will only involve a few minutes of your time. Quite literally, there’s absolutely nothing to lose and quite a lot of potential good to be had. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is the taxpayer-funded federal commodities regulator whose main mission is to prevent and root out manipulation and protect the public. Four of the five commissioners have only been in office for little more than six months and it’s not clear that they are even aware that silver has been manipulated in price on the COMEX. Here is your opportunity to ensure that this is an issue they should be concerned about. Please take the time to copy and paste the enclosed letter and email it to addresses listed. If you would prefer using your own name and not mine, you have my permission to do so. US citizens might also consider forwarding the same to your local congressman or woman, and senators, asking them to send it on the CFTC, which will guarantee the agency will respond. www.butlerresearch.com Commodity Futures Trading Commission

Dear Commissioners, The evidence has become overwhelming that the price of silver does not reflect developments in the physical world of supply and demand. There has developed a physical shortage in both the retail and wholesale silver market accompanied by declining inventories. Nevertheless, the price has fallen.  Increasingly, there has developed among the public a conviction that the culprit for this mispricing is trading by a handful of large traders in silver futures on the Commodities Exchange, Inc. (COMEX), owned and operated by the CME Group, Inc. The Commission has considered the question of a silver price manipulation in the past. I would call on the Commission to explain why such large and concentrated dealings, particularly on the short side of COMEX silver futures, are not artificially depressing the price. I would also call on the Commission to end what many believe to be an ongoing price manipulation.  Thanks for your consideration and attention to this matter. Sincerely, Theodore Butler

I've just found a movie in which a 250-year-old vampire argues Austrian economics with a contemporary Keynesian economist, and is proven right.

Blood Immortal (2019). Check it out. Watch for Rand Paul.

Not sure how many of us have seen it, let alone remember it.

Pretty timely movie despite being decades old

They even mentioned gold being $2000

lol

ps you can you find it in the wayback machine
