And if a guy bought 1000 ounces in the second week of June and sold it in the 3rd or 4th week, he would have made over $1k. Also, it was never $60 13 years ago , nor was it near there 44 years ago. And even in those years, the fluctuations open windows of opportunity , as much or even more often than just dissing it ALL the time. Can you see that ?
I'm not saying there are not other investment vehicles that do better, I'm just saying..... and probably wasting my time.

Do it with the SLV. I'm in and out probably 50 times while you are fumbling around with a bunch of trinkets that nobody wants. Hoarding shiny boat anchors down in the gutter/bunker certainly doesn't yield one a profit. Inflation adjust your numbers and you will realize just how deep down in the hole you really are. RGDS!

Read this story this morning about a Bank of America survey showing the differences between young and old "wealthy" investors. Found this rather interesting: 45% of the younger cohort own physical gold as an asset, and another 45% said they are interested in owning it.
Younger cohorts were classified by age 21-43 vs older 44+. All with investments exceeding $3M. RGDS!

And P.S. Buy some gold for cripe sakes!
While @blitzeddude is high-frequency trading SLV (and paying fees every time, plus the 1/2% per year built-in depreciation), he is missing out on the cushion provided by physical metal premiums and the appreciation of scarcer collectible forms of it.
When silver prices drop, premiums on physical silver tend to go up. So the price of a physical silver item is less volatile than a paper representation of it.
@blitzeddude wrongly assumes everyone is a chump and that they must buy at retail and sell at wholesale. That is not the case.
The typical dealer wants to buy at wholesale and sell at retail. Anybody that is serious about speculating in physical metals can and should avoid buying at retail and selling at wholesale. Just set yourself up as a corporation and buy/sell at coin shows or whatever. Buy at wholesale if you can. But if you buy at retail, sell at retail.
PS:
Years ago, something like this circa 2000 Dennis England 5-troy-oz "Continental Coins & Currency" silver bar would sell for close to spot. But now they have appreciated to where this one just sold for somewhere in the vicinity of $1,600 : https://ebay.com/itm/186494682324 .
Not exactly a "trinket that nobody wants". @blitzeddude appears to be oblivious to the notion of "collecting" and the potential value of collectors' items. He apparently has learned nothing from the time spent here at Collectors Universe.
You don't get the fun of collecting and owning things like this with SLV. Or the appreciation in value. In fact, SLV takes all the fun out of silver and is contrary to the reason that you would want to own silver in the first place.
Nobody pays fees trading stocks. LOL Except maybe the old timers that are still hoarding relics. Wake up man. It's 2024 for cripes sakes. Waste my weekends setting up at a coin show to buy and sell trinkets just so I can break even? Why I can go click click all done. @Ducarr I bet I've made more $$$ trading gutter in the past 7 months than you have selling the gutter for your entire existence. THKS!

Don't care.

That is just like you, "winning" all the time and boasting about it, but never talking about all the things that didn't work out.

Later this month is a local coin club one-day show. I will have a table there. My cost is 40 miles driving round trip ($25 at 62.5 cents per mile, plus the table fee of $45, for a grand total of $70 in expenses).
If clicking a mouse is your maximum level of ability and competency, then have at it. I'm sure that YOU would only break even (at best) at a $70 coin show. But other people seem to do ok and they come back and do shows every year, even ones that are a lot more expensive than $70.

There’s already a shortfall of a couple hundred thousand ounces, and India has become a large accumulator. In addition, the Silver Institute has been lowballing their numbers on consumption.
Not to mention military consumption worldwide that goes unreported.
It’s not rocket science. Plan accordingly.
Q: Are You Printing Money? Bernanke: Not Literally
It’s not the dollar amount. A shortfall means a supply shortage, which likely means a price run up when solar panels are doubling in demand year over year. (Yawn)

According to the Silver Institute ( and the interweb), solar panels consumed 140 million ounces in 2022. And you say the deficit is a few 100 thousand ounces? This is merely a rounding error. Looks more like equilibrium.
But...from your mouth to God's ears, silver goes much higher as we all welcome our new found wealth.

You can't eat your gold or your dollar bills or your bank statements either.

Major drop in gold and silver overnight after the stock market drop yesterday. Went right past resistance levels.
Will be interesting to see if there will be a strong rebound when the Fed lowers the short-term interest rate which I expect will be sooner now with the lower stock market sentiment and record consumer credit card debt defaults. Higher unemployment is becoming a factor as well.
I still remain somewhat optimistic that this drop will turn out to be a good precious metal buying opportunity. So far, a lot of money is moving into US bonds, which are still considered a safe haven, ...until they aren't.
