Thanks. Thinking about buying some for ages. First time. I want to buy some XRP too, as the chatter seems to think it's going to pop.

Platinum is undervalue and most rarest of the 4 metals. Doesn't make sense that a platinum eagle round has a $100 face value while gold has a $50 face value and is more than 2x cost today. Years ago, it was always the other way around.

Articles saying "silver is about to explode" are mostly from outfits that are SELLING silver, so that is little more than a selling technique. For me, I don't have silver as any kind of "investment" and I don't care what the daily spot price is, to me that's irrelevant. I have silver as a hedge against SHTF economic meltdown so I will have something to trade and barter with if our fiat currency ever becomes worthless.

The main use for silver is electric conductivity in new electronics coming in.

Why new? It's been used for decades. As you stated, Tesla used it.

It is around 6% more efficient than copper

You mean it has a lower resistivity.

and also creates a smoother electric flow.

Totally meaningless. Even if you replaced the adjective "electric" with "electron" it would be false. There's no such thing as a "smoother flow" of electricity. Did you get that out of a HiFi advert?

Hate to break it to you, but anyone can buy physical silver at anytime. If any of this were true, and they needed as much silver as possible, they would make extremely difficult for the average person to purchase silver. Yes silver is used in a lot of electronic applications. That has been true for decades.

And yes there are big players manipulating the market just like they manipulate every market. But you can take advantage and buy some physical silver for yourself. It is currently selling at $15.10/oz, although many dealers have increased their spot prices. You'll have to decide if the spot price increase is worth it for you.

Trump confiscates half the world's supply of silver because the owners are enemy combatants.

No more national debt.

The end.

Are you talking about stock market silver? do you think the stock market uses ANY real silver and gold to back the price of the market?. There is so much silver on this planet we minted our coins with it for years. Good thinking outside the box I just think its a you thinking the stock market has something to do with physical silver / gold.

Silver is currently at a ratio of around 82:1 in comparison to gold when it has historically averaged around 1:40-50.

I agree with the current ball park ratio you mentioned. However, historically? Is that your own observation? and if yes, on what historical timeline did you consider this?

1:15-17 used to be the exchange ratio, till .... eh .... more greedier times arrived.

Gold silver ratio 82:1? Sounds like you copied an old article. It's more like 110:1 now.

But yeah, silver is the most undervalued asset because entities like JPM are manipulating the price. Keep stacking and stay away from paper products like ETF's.

ever see the guy who turned himself blue? by digesting silver? well you see when you turn blue you can longer get sick. if you did want to fly across the universe turning blue with silver could protect you from all the space biological entities !!! think all the aliens they make look grey in movies !!!!
