re: Silver up 12% for the week on Black Friday

You can pick whatever timeframe you choose...almost any asset like a stock or real estate is going to outperform the precious metal over time.
That's not the case for my portfolio. Strictly talking Silver here: I accumulated the bulk of my stack from the mid 2010's to 2022. I stopped buying as much when I couldn't get 90% Constitutional for 20x face value or less.
I don't know my exact spot price average, but it's in the teens still. Not a single ETF that I have in my Roth is up more percentage wise than my Silver since I started investing in the markets. Granted that wasn't always the case before this run-up, so I agree with you on the metals being able to suddenly gain massive ground. But, you said any time frame and Silver has been better for me at this point than all of my funds have.
Now, of course there's plenty of individual stocks that have outperformed Silver in that timeframe, but I rarely invest in individual stocks. The data shows that people who invest in funds exclusively average out better than active investors who chase individual companies. Only a small percentage of active investors are picking individual stocks and beating the S&P regularly. Maybe you're one of them so kudos to you if so.
I was also a very savvy stacker when I was going deep on it. I actually bought a ton of world coinage for below spot (Not always). That's something the average Joe can't really do with stocks, buy them for below market price
I got really lucky for a few years snagging Australian Sterling like this for below melt.
My story isn't everyone's story though. We all know of the guy who backed the truck up in 2011 and lump summed at the top only to get gashed for a decade plus afterwards
Also, stacking bullion is fun. A lot of us love getting new and interesting pieces. It goes beyond just the numbers, it can be a hobby. Buying stocks isn't really fun, it's just business.
The cherry on top for me is that by stacking a lot of world coinage I've pulled a bunch of key dates randomly. I have coins that have numismatic value well beyond spot price, that I didn't pay a premium for.
I have very few American Eagles. I never liked the premiums on them.

Damn, how old are you baw? We're going back 125 years to prove a point.
Morgan dollars have a face value of $1. I doubt many people were hoarding circulated U.S. coinage that year in anticipation of beating certain stocks anyways.
I guess you're assuming that I'm 100% in PMs and not invested anywhere else?
One of the main reasons a lot of stackers are bullish is because Silver is currently in a five-year structural deficit, which I believe is unprecedented

Those charts are interesting to me nonetheless. We're talking about low risk precious metals keeping pace with the broader markets, not speculative tobacco stocks.
Also, that quarter meme is dated.
Those 5 Washington Quarters have a melt of $81.55 as I type this.
You bears think this is the same song and dance as before and I believe you're mistaken

I'm not talking about the all time charts, though I should have been more specific.
I know your comment was tongue in cheek, but look at this 10 year chart.
If silver can do that over the past 10 years, why can't it do it again over the next 20-25?
Check out this 30 year chart
*Anyone reading this that has a portfolio with an S&P average from 1950's prices please ignore*

Asinine. Regardless, you're just reaffirming the belief amongst stackers that Silver is still undervalued.
People are still busy chasing meme stocks while the long term thinkers are accumulating real wealth via tangible/usable assets.
Bookmark this for 2050: Silver will have blown past the S&P so fast it'll make your head spin.
With the money printing I think they're referring to the eventual lag effect of it all. M2 is always growing and that money has to go somewhere.

Fair points, but current fundamentals are nothing like past run-ups. One notable example is China having massive new export controls on Ag(Started Jan 2026). In case you didn't know, they are the #1 Silver refiner in the world and the #2 producer.
Silver is one of, if not the most important element to the tech industry... And the tech industry is constantly expanding.
Silver has absolutely been manipulated in the past and maybe that suppression is finally coming home to roost.. What's good for the goose is good for the gander eh?
The amount of paper silver derivatives is almost 400 times the amount of actual available silver
Things that cannot last forever, don't.
Did you miss out on these gains baw?

I will admit that the OP was mostly a brash shitepost meant to stir the pot.

There was a flood of anti-gold propaganda though around 2020-2023ish, most of which was on Twitter and Reddit, not so much on forums like this.

Bottom Line: Any technology that can be cloned or mimicked isn't truly unique IMO. Hence why I'm not a believer in it.
Americans own 40% of Bitcoin, a lot of that is institutional holdings. Seems like a ripe scenario for a rug pull.

Maybe the quickest way to address this is with a question - don't we need to know what the price of gold will be to project production rates?
Now that's a fun thought experiment.
It made go off and wonder what the price of Gold would need to be to fully back current U.S. Debt
Debt: 38 Trillion
U.S. Gold Reserves: 261.5 million troy ounces (8,133 metric tons)
Divide 38 Trillion by 261 million and you get: $145,593.87/ounce
I was just curious about the numbers
Global gold discovery rates peaked in the mid-1990s, specifically around 1995–1996. A record number of major deposits were discovered during this time, containing more gold than any decade since.
Exploration spending has hit new highs several times since then, but the actual volume of new gold discovered has steadily declined, with most "new" additions now coming from expanding old mines rather than finding massive new ones.
Overall production has mildly increased since the 90s, but that correlates with economics/rising price/Technology - Which you did allude to.
Production will most likely peak soon as expanded old mines run dry, which will drive price higher as miners are forced to go deeper.

The other is an electronic ledger that only has the uniqueness of "being first".. it does nothing that similar systems can't do better... and those other systems can be created ad nauseam.
Bitcoin is surrounded by more efficient altcoins. Why would we choose it over the others, or ones yet to be created?
This is the statement I'm waiting on someone to explain away. There's no logical argument against it other than saying "it was first, so it wins"
I misspoke and meant to say "Easy to mine" instead of "Easy to find"
There's a stark difference in those two statements, so I'm now bringing more clarity to my previous thoughts.
The juiciest(easiest) deposits are mostly gone. Ask any mining CEO and they'll tell you the same.
We are having to get more and more creative to extract Gold.

You have to be something in order to be scarce. Bitcoin is nothing. It's a system.. and as I've highlighted above: It's properties can be replicated over and over.
The entire refined supply of Gold can be fit inside of maybe 3 to 4 Olympic sized swimming pools. All of the easy to find deposits have already been mined.
It's very scarce.. and actually unique
