Investing in Silver or Gold?

Monument metals shows out of stock on several silver buy options as of last night

I resd in this thread prior pages that US silver coins was a preferably smarter investment for good reasons

I was recently consulted by a silver specialist that was a bad idea, I have no idea which way to believe, I just thought it worth mentioning for consideration

The consultant was my silver guy at monument metals


EDIT: silver seems to be readily available again just a couple dollars higher tonight $64.01 as of tonight

Bought. 5 more tubes when it casually rolled in to rhe 60s



It looks like true value could reconcile with Gold value but 100 is around the corner, these 60s are still deals, imo

I watch the forex daily and we are being clobbered in the countries I view daily
Thoughts ?
 
Global annual demand in silver is 1.2 billion ounces
Global annual mining is 840million ounces
deficit is 360 million ounces and expanding rapidly... there are many industrial uses of silver.IMHO Silver is hardly getting started... those shortages of silver are only part of the industrial uses

.GOLD highest value is money hedge.


consider that BRICS is in direct competition with USD...

Asian on the Shanghai they are paying 71 spot price last nigh according to what I found on the www


Silver is the new Gold, my prediction it will eventually surpass GOLD

I think there are legit shortages but its been artificially suppressed with the paper market for a very long time. We are seeing actual price discovery as the US banks lose control of the manipulation. I highly doubt we will see it ever catch up with gold though.
 
71.43 up 3.05 today after China buying it @72 through the Shanghai 36hrs ago
 
silver is $79.40 I see $100 around the corner

Silver's Demand Profile:

  • Industrial applications: Over 50% of silver demand (solar panels, electronics, EVs, medical devices, water purification, etc.)
  • Investment: Approximately 25-30% of demand
  • Jewelry and silverware: 20-25% of demand

some thoughts on silver I have
Not too much is being mentioned about BRICS, however, China is the largest industrial user of silver, with the electric car batteries and solar panel powered electrical system..
I see BRICS using the huge potential increase in silver price over Gold for the monetary purchasing power BRCS needs to contend with the USD
The silver ratio is off by hundreds $$$ an oz imho
 
You missed the boom, I sold off a lot of gold when it was 1800 a oz a while ago and again at 2500 a oz recently, if I would have waited a year the second time I would have almost made double what I did , gold is too high at the moment to even think about buying it

I didn’t hit the boom , I sold to quick , I needed to wait 8 months to a year and I missed the mark,Gold is at 4500, if u haven’t bought by now there’s no point, no one is really buying gold at this price
 
over 80 bucks an oz...wow
 
Been selling off my Silver bullion. The energy around it feels frenetic and frothy. Could be wrong but, historical price charting shows wild peaks with long troughs. I suspect this being the latest peak.

Happy to sell an asset that 4x’d in price in a few years.
 
I believe, If you had an irrevocable trust, the silver owned was not owned by you but a company the trust managed, you can borrow against the asset and keep the asset, no captain gains

I’m just digging into this so I’m just learning and maybe wrong

if it interested you, and you have assets, trusts should also keep you out of probate court unlike a Will,

I have not found a law firm yet that specializes in trusts so there’s a lot I don’t know

$76 bucks currently

China will begin stricter controls on silver exports from Thursday, January 1, marking a significant shift for a metal that was earlier treated as a regular industrial commodity, CNBC reported. The move is expected to affect global supply chains, especially in the US, where silver is widely used in industry and defence-related manufacturing.

It also comes at a time when one kilogram of silver is selling at ₹2,38,900.

The decision has drawn attention from business leaders and policymakers, as silver plays a key role in electronics, renewable energy, and advanced technologies.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk reacted to the news over the weekend on his social media platform X. He responded to a post discussing China’s upcoming export rules. “This is not good. Silver is needed in many industrial processes,” Musk wrote.

Silver prices have risen sharply this year, more than doubling and heading for their best annual performance since 1979. Prices briefly crossed $80 an ounce earlier this week before easing to around $73.

Gold has also gained over 60 per cent this year. Meanwhile, the US dollar index has fallen nearly 9.5 per cent in 2025, its worst showing since 2017.

Holding strong @ 80bucks ... I hope China keeps strong in holding back the exporting of silver, either way we should see this price increase continue to rise

I wish some crypto would rise with it haha
 
BREAKING: Gold reaches new all-time high of $4,600.

Pretty much spot on. I will add that you can borrow against assets that aren’t in trust, as well, if you have a sufficient balance. So if you have say an investment account, you can borrow against a percentage of it on margin with the assets as collateral. Typically quite low interest rates and don’t need to liquidate anything to do so. Basically just shows as your account being smaller by the amount borrowed, but the assets are still there (just blanked out netting the loan against the asset value). Then when (if) you pay it back you basically regain access to those assets like nothing happened. Wealthy people rarely pay for stuff with actual money, take out mortgages or pay interest rates that most people are limited to. World is veeeeerrrry much tilted toward the high net worth crowd - the more money you have, the less you need, weirdly.

To the other question, even with a trust (of any sort) you still typically have a last will and testament to specify how assets move (not everything is in the trust, you have more than one trust, you’re married and what happens if you die at different times wrt trusts etc). Keeps shit out of probate - cuz who wants the govt and lawyers taking another point or two off the top?!?

United States Mint suspended all numismatic silver sales

The United States Mint has suspended all sales of its numismatic products. On January 14, 2026, the institution that has struck America’s legal tender since 1792 withdrew every collector-oriented silver offering: proof American Silver Eagles, commemoratives, uncirculated sets, and the revived Morgan and Peace dollar restrikes. The announcement arrived via customer email and appeared as empty spaces in the online catalog. The stated reason was straightforward: silver prices were rising so rapidly that accurate pricing had become impossible.
