Whew. Barely made enough to pay taxes and insurance on the B&M last year. After the first two months of this year, I purchased more than in the first two years from 2009-2011 in biz.
Funny , I went from a town of more than 450,000 to a town of 3000 , and do ten times more. And as such and always, there’s never enough money in the bank.

I definitely sold more in the first 2 months then I did in the past decade and I've always been an extremely active flipper. Most of the big shops I frequent have told me that this pump has been phenomenal for the small-time mom and pops. More sellers coming through the doors than ever. The big problem now is the refinery glut. Nowhere to sell and those still taking it in are having to wait forever to get paid. Bank accounts getting tapped awaiting payment. Oh well, so goes life in the gutter. RGDS!

“Oh well” is a deep well, brother. Forget the gutter, this goes much deeper than there. And who said I have nowhere to sell ? I have a few outlets and “go to guys”.

Yeah, I wasn't implying you specifically didn't have anywhere to sell, just dealers in general with limited avenues to sell. Sure, dealers have outlets for the gutter but many can't afford to sit on their hands 6-8 weeks waiting to receive payment. Some are calling it the great physical gutter scam of 2026. RGDS!

Most smelters are buying even scrap silver again! And yes, they are taking 90% in too...
Kind of funny how that happens as silver drops...
It's down. But nothing more than what recent volatility would suggest. Either way, good news for shops with shallow pockets. And they are the majority.

Yes, "the great physical gutter scam of 2026" has really taken off in popularity and become a meme.
Perhaps not yet. THKS!

Maybe it's time to buy some back? If I had sold a month ago instead of buying some, I'd be thinking of buying now.
My timing was off, but it won't take long before the stuff rips higher, once again. As usual, only buy what you can afford to hold, and buy physical - not paper.

Still way too overvalued. Waiting for the $20s. Currently tied up in oil and T-bills. RGDS!
