Silver Force Majeure?

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?

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…)

Precious Metals Crash

After a Precious Metals Crash -Why “Just Hold” Is a Dangerous Lie

Precious Metals Crash

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…)

1933 Gold Confiscation

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.

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…)

The Silver Delusion: Why “HODLing” is a Strategy for Losers

(“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…)

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?

Silver’s Epic Run: Enjoy the Ride, But Remember to Take Profits

Silver’s Epic Run

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.

The Great Flip: Is It Time to Trade Your Silver for Gold?

For centuries, seasoned investors haven’t just looked at the price of gold or silver; they’ve looked at the Gold-to-Silver Ratio (GSR). This simple number—how many ounces of silver it takes to buy a single ounce of gold—is one of the oldest continuously tracked exchange rates in human history.

But as we start 2026, the ratio is doing something we haven’t seen in over a decade. After years of silver being “cheap” compared to gold, the script has flipped. If you’ve been holding silver, you might be sitting on a once-in-a-generation opportunity to trade up into gold. (more…)
