Silver?

[HungSowel]

long term holds are ideal. not sure term.

oil, gas, utilities, reits, and grocery chains are stable and secure.


think long term. not short term.

save your silver

Silver is not a long term play, it is a medium term play. When the mag 7 tries to monetize AI it will slow down the pace of the AI build out and silver will fall as it is currently a vital part of the AI buildout.

In the long term all commodities will fall to 0 as humans do what humans do and become more efficient at mining resources, except Gold as gold's primary use is a store of value and not for utility. The appetite for gold is practically limitless, all other commodities have a demand limit, once that demand is satiated then prices will fall dramatically.

I wished I bought more!
I have about 200 to 300 TOz, but I wanted to hit 1000 but had to pay the mortgage.

silver have always been a stable currency compare to cash. easy to convert.

plus it is useful in green tech. it won't go lower any time soon.

accumulate slowly. best not to over extend yourself.

Gold is the gold standard for store of value. Gold is coca cola, silver is pepsi. Gold is bitcoin, silver is etherium. etc...

Human psychology will reach for gold first, then reach for silver next.

true but we have to be practical about it. both are useful. gold, silver and platinum are good store value.

if gold is too expensive go buy platinum or silver. if precious metals are expensive go invest in stocks. and rotate it around to increase your wealth.

Look at the gold silver ratio, it varies quite a bit. The AI buildout is creating addition 500-1000T of silver demand that is price inelastic.

I do not put much value on the ratio between gold and silver. The driver for gold is as a store of value against inflation, the driver for silver is industrial demand. If the ratio is kept, that is only because of human psychology that assigns value to that ratio.

Both have a long history as stores of value, but yes silver has more industrial use, probably because its much more abundant. People try to avoid using gold as its pricy

I bought silver because I think a peak for silver demand will be near the end of this year, because of the midterms. Trump needs the AI datacenter buildout to continue to bolster the economy for any shot at winning the elections. Ratios and other metrics I did not consult with. Silver is less than 5% of my portfolio so it is just a small bet.

I believe the increases to gold and particularly to silver have less to do with AI datacenters and more to do with being a hedge against inflation, lowering interest rates and a reaction to geopolitical uncertainties that exist. Not to mention an over inflated equities market that is resembling pre dotcom bubble and pre 2008 financial crisis.
Apparently Trump will be asking for a huge bump up to the military budget for 2027. Somewhere in the order of a 50%-60% increase. That should further exacerbate geopolitical tensions making gold and silver that much more attractive as an investment.

its a combination of everything. us debt is over 38 trillion which it takes so much usd to buy an ounce of gold/silver/platinum.

silver and copper has a better conductivity compare to gold. gold is only ranked 3.

it is more economical to use silver or copper than gold.

The property of gold that is most important is that the surface does not oxidize, gold is used extensively in connectors where electrical contact must be made reliably. Both copper and silver have surface oxidation that is non-conductive so no electrical contact is actually made.

What a crazy chart. Post 9/11 its skyrocketed.

Rust formed on the surface of of a piece of iron degrades
the value of the metal.

The black tarnish that could develop on the surface of silver
bullion is a layer of sulfide. I do not know how that property
affects use of the metal in electronics. But it shouldn't make
silver coins less durable than gold coins.

Watch this video:

Gold, Silver, Platinum, and any precious metals might go up higher this year.

Global banks will be changing their monetary policy with US national debt is over $38.43 trillion USD.

 

[HungSowel]

Up ~16% since the start of the year. Week to week, the volatility is +/- 10%, silver is the new bitcoin.
