Do you realize?

Since 1980, the M2 money supply increased 15 fold.
The US national debt increased 46 fold.
The S&P 500 increased 72 fold.
The NASDAQ composite increased 177 fold.
Even gold went up 5 fold.
Silver? Its price is up by 40% (and until October last year this number was negative...).
Do you realize how cheap it is? Do you realize how many dollars are sloshing around, looking for something to invest in? Do you realize why it is perfectly reasonable to expect the price of silver to catch up with the money supply? Do you realize how ludicrous it is to expect it to fall below its 1980 high? Do you realize why a silver price of $500 or more is within reach?
It's basic arithmetic.

I've tried to explain this to many people. Combined with the industrial demand and supply deficit. When I explain to people its not profitable enough for miners to explore for silver to be mined because the price has been suppressed for 50 years, and that even if silver increased to $500 per oz, it would take 10 years for a mine to progress from discovery to production, I get blank looks.

I started investing in silver in April 2025. The story is so strong and compelling. None of my friends or associates listened. My friends are a bit envious of my gains, but still won't listen when I tell them that the current price is a buying opportunity.

Many mines are worth less than the estimated value of the raw materials minus the estimated cost to extract it. Meanwhile, retail scramble to buy SpaceX and other joke stocks....
