My silver stash is for retirement. The way I see it is inflation takes 2-3% (lol) of the purchasing power of my dollar every year. Let me phrase that another way. If I were to have $100.00USD and 5 OZ of silver in the same basket. in ten years my cash would be worth less in purchasing power but the silver would be higher in purchasing power. Even if I were to put my cash in a 401k or CD etc, It still would be lucky to return 2-3% per annum. I will take the silver any day of the week and I am in it for the long run.
I just read an article on a minimum wage law in 1964 going to $1 per hour in Ontario. The restaurant trade was worried about the price of coffee going up from the 10 cent price.
Today a 1964 dime would be worth about $1.75 at scrap price...about the same price as a cup of 2018 coffee.

Call those words whatever you want--necessary evils, corporate welfare, or the future. These are not to be confused with Obama Era corporate welfare to "green energy" like: (and some grants/loans were mysteriously related to Democrat contributions)
Trump administration will get the job done -- Wind and Solar can only become a game changers if storage can dramatically increase and Musk is the man. Maybe Silver investors see the writing on the wall for expansion of this business now that there are FAVORABLE tax laws and anti-dumping tariffs in place.
After over ten years of gains, global silver production is expected to drop this year, as new supply from projects won’t be sufficient to replace production losses from aging operations.
The big increases often follow "odd" sharp plunges. The manipulation has kept silver increase far behind dollar drop. Just comparing back to Nov. Silver/$US, silver should now be over $18. The "odd" plunge has prevented that.
Stacking is not about waiting for silver/gold prices to go up a little. It's about getting PM now while the price is manipulated lower in preparation for when TPTB can't manipulate the price anymore and there is no PM available to stack. Will that happen in 1 year or 10yrs, who knows. Not sure the stackers are in a hurry for that day, just marginally prepared. What about the rest of you?
Depends on mining outputs and industrial consumption.
If the falling price has been sustained this long, the silver must actually be there. Can't just fall for 7 years straight yet have coin shops fully stocked.
Savers just aren't interested in silver any more. And rightly so.
They aren't interested because TPTB have monkeyhammered spot down repeatedly and created wild volatility, thus destroying investors' belief that it is a credible safe haven.
Combine that with the fact that 500 million ounces a year are salted away for investment purposes, year after year, and you realise there is no shortage of physical silver, and won't be for a very long time, barring unforeseen demand from some technical or industrial innovation that requires use of it. But graphene looks promising as a better conductor than silver so it's quite possible that will never happen, either.
I'm hoping TPTB will encourage a melt-up like in 2011 soon, in which case I'll be dumping my silver without a backward glance.
You know you hold the physical for the right reason and at a melt-up profit, why wouldn't you just hedge in options and get paid while any movement occurred? Start your basis from the melt-up price for your physical and use the paper market against the devils, hedging with options.
Everyone has an"All-in" price for their physical and they certainly know their physical inventory at the bottom of the lake.
Look, any cherry-picked set of dates can make a financial asset look great. But what was the capital return on the Dow during that 16-year period? Or USTs? Or, if you demand no counterparty risk, gold/platinum/palladium?
Silver is about the same price today as it was in 2008. Ten years ago! Go look it up on historical charts and anyone that entered the market late 2010 through mid 2013 are in a serious world of hurt if they needed to cash out today. They would easily lose 30% to 60% of their initial investment. :-(

Including the 7 years down, silver has gained 289% in the last 16 years, an average of 18%.
18% savings rate is pretty good considering I get to hold the collateral the whole time as well.
Get rich quick schemers may not be interested in those rates of return but serious savers should not balk at them.
It would be foolish to confuse savings with speculation.
