We have several silver bars. When do I cash in or just hold for when the zombies show up or an EMP goes off?

Anyone?

I don't think SLV (SI) will bounce back toward those $150 targets, period. It is going to be in decline now.

GDX might recover to $104 before dropping into the upper 70's near term.

Folks believing this is not near/at a long-term top based on the past 2+ years right now I think are not studying the market conditions/history for these metals. Just my two cents. It was not long ago that SLV was bouncing around in the lower 30's, and it could get there again faster than many think. Yes, it's a manipulated market, but that doesn't make it a safe play.

No way I'd ever play in the paper market. There's huge trouble brewing there.

In November 2025, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) officially added silver to its finalized 2025 List of Critical Minerals, reclassifying it from primarily a precious metal to a strategic industrial asset
. This designation, driven by high industrial demand and 69% net import reliance, mandates federal focus on securing supply chains for technologies like solar panels and defense systems.
Key details regarding the inclusion of silver in strategic reserves:

• Strategic Status: As a critical mineral, silver is recognized as vital to U.S. economic and national security, triggering potential actions such as stockpiling, tax incentives for domestic mining, and streamlined permitting.

We're back!

Silver back up 14% from the dip.

Gold up 6%.

The US Government is starting a GOLD and SILVER STOCKPILE.

They’re securing critical metals before the currency devalues. The Government is literally telling you to buy real assets.

Gold back above $5000
Silver back above $90

The silver market has had a wild ride the past 9 days.

From $121 per oz, down to $73 per oz. And now back up to $91 per oz.

This is a market that was stuck between $20 to $30 for 4 years. Real world physical shortages have changed all of that. pic.twitter.com/wZCfvp2Nzr

$300 Silver by April 1......

Reminder: Selling millions of fake paper ounces all at once during thin market hours is not price discovery, but price setting. In other words, completely fake and gay.

"On February 5, 2026, six groups of accounts under actual control exceeded the daily trading volume limit for relevant contracts , reaching the exchange's processing standard. The aforementioned clients' trading activities violated Article 16 of the " Shanghai Futures Exchange Abnormal Trading Behavior Management Measures ," and the exchange decided to take regulatory measures to restrict the opening of positions by the relevant clients in the corresponding contracts."

tweet #2

1,396,553 contracts traded at the SHFE this morning on the Apr26 silver futures ALONE, equivalent to 674,328,157.94 oz of physical silver.

In the whole morning overall contracts traded equivalent to 1,343,900,000 oz of physical silver or almost double the ANNUAL silver mined.

This is NOT retail; this was a brutal short-selling attack to crash the Chinese silver market intentionally. But guess what? Prices remain at a big premium vs Comex/LBMA, and silver nevertheless remained in backwardation, again, signalling these paper games aren't changing the fundamentals whatsoever

Paper vs physical........The paper folks are getting desperate.

We are in late stage empire collapse. Prepare accordingly.

I am all the way out on gold. Too scary at this point.

Although me getting out almost guarantees $6000 an ounce by Valentine's Day.
