What do you expect to see first, if ever.....$100 silver or $5,000 gold?

OnlyGoldIsMoney · January 20, 2026 2:27PM

I am thinking $5,000 gold but I would be happy to be wrong.

Tom147 · January 20, 2026 2:32PM

Kind of a nip & tuck race. I WAS thinking silver will hit $100 first but I just checked Gold @ $ 4759. Gonna be a very close race.

Wingsrule · January 20, 2026 2:47PM

$100 silver

MsMorrisine · January 20, 2026 3:26PM

silver

poopoo vs peepee

Let the best one win! Gooooooooooo already!

jmski52 · January 20, 2026 3:53PM

Tough call. I'd say silver @ $100 comes first.

D808LF · January 20, 2026 10:40PM

It'll happen on the same day.

jdimmick · January 20, 2026 11:31PM

I was thinking 100 silver, but may be gold after late night action

1Mike1 · January 21, 2026 1:01AM

If I heard it correctly, China or Hong Kong was already dealing with silver being above $100. May have pulled back by now.

Sorry it was above $100 in Shanghai

jfriedm56 · January 21, 2026 4:17AM

I was thinking silver first to $100., but saw a bit of a pull back towards $94. Last I saw was gold passing $4830., so with gold surging forwards I’ll go with gold to $5,000. first. Zack.

johnny9434 · January 21, 2026 4:31AM

I'm with $5,000 gold as well. A tough call yes indeed

DoubleEagle59 · January 21, 2026 6:58AM

Same day!!

psuman08 · January 21, 2026 2:08PM

$5K gold

DNADave · January 21, 2026 6:54PM

Does it matter if it’s $100 or $5000 if the dollars are worthless and untrustworthy? Why sell for dollars?

Where to put my remaining “paper” dollars which are really just digits on a screen, is what I need to decide. Land, guns, ammo, Whiskey? No stock market pyramid schemes for me.

jmski52 · January 22, 2026 12:20PM

Based on today's numbers, at the same rate of change for each metal, gold will top $5,000 tomorrow but silver won't quite make it to $100.

Interesting times.

Mike59 · January 22, 2026 12:30PM

DNADave,
Please Explain:: No stock market pyramid schemes for me ? The whole stock market or some specific Stocks?
Thanks,
Mike

Are you going to exchange whiskey for goods and services ?

The dollar is fine.

The United States stock market is the greatest wealth generator in the history of our planet. Not sure why you would say something like that.

For now, BUT it's quite obvious on what track it's on. We all know the history of fiat currencies worldwide. This is basic and you know it of course, BUT a 1964 and earlier QUARTER DOLLAR can buy you TODAY almost a 5 gallon jug of gasoline for one reason and one reason only. SILVER. What can your 2026 quarter dollar buy you?

DNADave · January 22, 2026 1:57PM

I’m generally a contrarian I guess. I don’t trust anyone to pick investments for me and when I have done that it’s gone bad. For example a 529 that lost money. Fees and risk are not for me. 50s. No debt, fiscally very conservative.

jmski52 · January 22, 2026 2:07PM

Rick Rule maintains that the dollar will lose 75% of its purchasing power over the next 10 years, just like in the 1970s.

Mike59 · January 22, 2026 6:30PM

Tomorrow’s the Day for Both but so what? It will hit $5000/$100 and??? Just another milestone, a bit quick and a bit scary but you can’t keep printing money out of nothing and expect hard assets from going up. We all know both Gold and Silver prices have been sat on for decades and now they can’t control it like they did before. I have plenty of popcorn and I’ll just sit back and watch.

Wingsrule · January 22, 2026 6:43PM

Silver first, both Friday morning.

Inflation has averaged 3% a year since 1964. Would you prefer a flat price index and a loss of nominal and real GDP growth ?

If I said you could have 0% inflation with 1% real GDP growth over 60 years.....or 3% inflation with 2.5% GDP growth....which would you choose ? An 80% improvement in your standard of living and income...or a 340% improvement in your stand of living/income ?

OnlyGoldIsMoney · January 22, 2026 6:47PM

After a long day of travelling I am tuning in. Gold and Silver within striking distance of $5,000 and $100. We may have a winner overnight.

Heubschgold · January 22, 2026 7:01PM

Crazy market momentum !! Even Platinum spiked up !!

Don't think your math checks out. 3% inflation with 2.5% GDP growth is a shrinking economy, unless the GDP number is adjusted for inflation and not nominal.

What's his track record ? Because if he is willing to wager that inflation will average 7%-plus over the next 10 years, I think his track record will be taking a major hit.

Those who opted for Silver win. $100.09 as I write. Not quite a photo finish.

softparade · January 23, 2026 8:51AM

dipping ... BUT!

BruceS · January 23, 2026 9:25AM

This is great, but .....no one is buying at anywhere near these prices, id like to take some profits, but not at -15 to -25, hopefully refinerys catch up before the inevitable dip.

Hope I'm wrong, but this cannot be sustainable.

That is not correct

GoldFinger1969 · January 23, 2026 9:43AM

I see $4,988 on the March COMEX contract.

coastaljerseyguy · January 23, 2026 1:04PM

Looks like silver will close over $100 but don't think gold will close over $5,000.

There are a few places buying out there but not in large quantities. Yes, most are offering to well back of spot. Wait till the tank and everyone is scurrying to sell, it will be much more difficult then. RGDS!

You may be a troll, but the silver dude profile pick is "spot" on, haha, love it, drinking the AG Kool aid....

The quote some are using here is not the official COMEX price.

MsMorrisine · January 23, 2026 5:51PM

TwoSides2aCoin · January 23, 2026 7:45PM

Close enough. Have we found the floor, yet ?

MsMorrisine · January 23, 2026 7:46PM

we need a banana peel to start things off, or perhaps that past 40 was it

OnlyGoldIsMoney · January 25, 2026 4:10PM

Gold just a day or so behind. $5,010.80 as I write.

MsMorrisine · January 25, 2026 4:11PM

kitco session high 5028.40 !

GoldFinger1969 · January 25, 2026 11:55PM

COMEX @ $5,069, up $90.

What do you expect to see first, if ever.....$100 silver or $5,000 gold?
