Default Silver

Was looking at the markets today and saw that silver is currently at $29.87 What is going on. Is the something a guy should get in on before it hits really high numbers?

Definitely something to consider. 5 or so years ago they were hyping silver up on the radio and it jumped from 14 bucks to 45. Someone made a bunch of money because they sold a bunch and then prices dropped because there was more on the market. Just set a goal and don't get greedy.

More of a function of our weak dollar than anything.

I hate silver, I near got bit in 2012 when I got a hot tip on silver. I decided I wanted 100lbs of physical silver. ( around 1460 t oz IIR?) I think it was around $35 then. I had my mind made up but a good friend of mine talked me out of it even though it was "about to skyrocket". I took that friends advice and every time I look at silver it reminds me of that story.

Personally, I wouldn't risk it at this point but I said the same thing about bitcoin when I first heard of it.

Oh really? That's a good concept, did you come up with that on your own? What did you buy at and what are you waiting for?

Sure you are. Good luck. Don't get that silver dollar mixed with the rest of the coins in your piggy bank.

Let's not forget that gold has gone up from $1200 in 2018 to $1860.00 today. More that 33% increase. Follow the trend on precious metals.

Too bad Trudeau sold off all our reserves and the gold standard isn't followed anymore. Canada could have been rich.

When it comes to precious metals, you can follow Silver if you want, but it's the distant 'Second Cousin' when it comes to GOLD (now @ $1,855 ... and still rising).

So far in Gold (and the miners that dig it out of the ground), I'm 'Up' over 70% in the last two years ❗

Bought some this morning...while the price may seem high this is an unprecedented time...if/when the market corrects silver may take a hit but I believe the current economic system is coming to an end and precious metals always perform in times of crisis...no investment is a safe bet anymore..stock market is a casino and it’s ready to implode..economy is collapsing in front of us..I’m actually surprised more people aren’t talking about it.

There’s article by the financial post (I believe it was starting of May), in regards to scotia bank getting out of the bouillon game, and class action lawsuits against them for price manipulation, I recommend you have a look!

I would certainly recommend to hold your silver right now, just look at the historic gold to silver ratio and that will shed some light, DO NOT SELL, and if you do, hit me up I will be interested!

That's over 50%
