Silver Cost
If you’ve been watching the silver charts lately, you know the “spot price” tells only half the story. While the COMEX futures market reflects the digital value of silver contracts, anyone walking into a local coin shop quickly realizes that “spot” is more of a suggestion than a reality.
Many people buy physical silver as a hedge against uncertainty, but few stop to calculate the “math of the spread.”
Physical Silver vs. The Bank
When you buy a 1 oz generic silver round today, you aren’t just buying metal; you are paying for the manufacturing, shipping, and the dealer’s profit. Let’s look at the numbers for February 13, 2026 (more…)
The silver market has been a fascinating arena of contrasting forces lately.
The Silver Tug-of-War
On one side, we’ve seen significant support emanating from the Asian markets, particularly Shanghai, seemingly acting as a sturdy foundation for prices. On the other, the New York COMEX has appeared to exert downward pressure, capping rallies and often pushing for lower valuations. It’s a classic tug-of-war, and as we look ahead to next week, a major variable is about to enter the fray (more…)
If you’re still clinging to that “silver to the moon” fantasy, today was your wake-up call. And it was a brutal one.
Silver’s Brutal Reality Check
The silver futures market just delivered a gut punch to anyone foolish enough to “buy the dip” back in early February, confirming what savvy traders already knew: it was a bull trap, plain and simple. (more…)
I should say there’s a “rumor” that’s a major Comex silver buyer is demanding physical delivery on 5,000 contracts. 
Silver Force Majeure?I’ve checked various sources and have been unable to confirm this rumor. Personally, I would think if this were true it would make headlines in every financial market in the world.
If it were true, this is one way it could play out: (more…)

Silver Bull Trap
Lesson straight from The Gambler: you gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em. A few cashed chips as the top wobbled; they’re up. The rest? Sitting on melted bars. (more…)
Precious Metals Crash
The brutal “1-30-26-Flash Friday” in gold and silver, triggered by the hawkish Kevin Warsh Fed Chair nomination, left many portfolios reeling. Silver, in particular, saw a catastrophic 27-30% plunge, with gold not far behind, dropping 9-11% in a single session. And as always, the mantra from some corners immediately emerged: “You haven’t lost anything if you haven’t sold!” and “It’s just an opportunity to buy more!” (more…)
Friday’s absolute massacre in the precious metals market has left “diamond hand” believers reeling. While the mainstream media calls it a “correction,” seasoned traders recognize the jagged edge of a classic bubble bursting.

1933 Gold Grab: Could Silver Be Next?
Back in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102—forcing every American to turn in their gold coins, bullion, and certificates to the Federal Reserve. They paid $20.67 per ounce, the official price at the time. Violators faced fines or jail.
1933 Gold Confiscation
Then, just months later, the government revalued gold to $35 an ounce—a 69% jump overnight. Folks who handed it over got screwed; the Treasury pocketed the windfall to back the dollar and fight the Depression. It was legal confiscation, plain and simple. (more…)

Silver Breaks $100
Folks, if you’re into precious metals like I am out here panning for gold in the Arizona dirt, yesterday—January 23, 2026—was one for the history books. For the first time ever, the spot price of silver smashed through the $100 per ounce barrier, hitting an intraday high around $103 before pulling back slightly. As of this morning (January 24), it’s holding firm near $101, still in triple-digit territory after massive gains. (more…)

Silver Market Outlook 2026
(“HODL” is an investment slang term that stands for “Hold On for Dear Life.” It describes the strategy of refusing to sell an asset regardless of how high—or low—the price goes. While popular online, it is often the quickest way to watch a fortune evaporate.)
We’ve watched silver and gold go on an absolute tear over the last year. In 2025, silver didn’t just move—it exploded, finishing the year up over 140%. Now, in early 2026, with prices hovering in the $75–$95 range, the “True Believers” are coming out of the woodwork. They’re dreaming of $150 or $200 silver and vowing to never sell. (more…)

Silver stackers, hold onto your hats—the white metal is soaring. As of January 20, 2026, spot silver sits in the mid-$94 range, with intraday spikes pushing gains over 5% in recent sessions. From sub-$30 levels a year ago, that’s a staggering 200%+ rise. Fundamentals like supply shortages and green energy demand are real, but let’s talk about what’s really propelling this rocket. (more…)
$173 Silver Eagle Proof
Silver stackers are losing their minds this week: the U.S. Mint just repriced the 2026 American Eagle Silver Proof Coin to $173, and the uncirculated collector version to $169. With spot silver around $93–94, that’s nearly double the melt value. Is this the Mint quietly telling us silver’s headed to the moon?
Not so fast. (more…)
Silver has been on an absolute tear. As of January 19, 2026, spot silver sits around $93–94 per ounce, up over 200% from lows just a few years ago and smashing through the old nominal highs from 1980 and 2011.
