I'm a long-term investor. Hell, I'm in metals for the better part of 15 years now. I've seen the end-game coming and was actively preparing in 2012 already. Deemed crazy. We're 13 years later and a lot of laughers come to me to ask for advice.
As I say quite often: I think I'm quite correct. But seldom on timings... But in markets: wrong timings are just wrong.
Metals give me that time. They don't care. They just are.
You're likely younger than me. I've been (small size initially) in metals for decades. I'm primarily a LT investor too. I semi suck ST, but so do most. I cringe at some of these baby faced YT "gurus" with their 75-90% accurate ST calls. If they were anywhere near that good WTF are they doing running a YT channel??
Many laughters regarding the scamdemic are also coming around lately. SMH.
The Spanish IBEX35 index outperform any other European index in 2025 with a +44% gain. Some of the stocks, a lot, even passed over +70%. Record in dividends too...
As I said in another comment to my other article: ask your local pawn shop: if the premium is below 5% - go stacking. Ask to call/mail you when they have something available at that price. Bargain a bit. I read somewhere (Mick? X? Reddit?) that pawn shops turn down silver because the refineries are full, and they can't offload it anymore. Be the person that they can offload to. Get a good price!
(premium = the extra price you pay above the current market rate)
If your budget is limited, and you just want to start to accumulate real wealth: buy some junk silver. Generally that's cheaper than newly minted coins. But it has the same silver content. Looks not so nice, but hey, we're in it for the metal right?
Thank you for your reply. I have read and appreciate ALL of your posts and I appreciate your insights. And yes - we are in it for the metal. Do not forget to have plenty of Pb on hand just in case!
I love "Gold and Geopolitics Substack and will read it religiously. NO1 is a true sage.
However, I do not need nuance knowledge. I need to know what spot, on what creek I can catch the biggest GOLDEN Trout or SILVER Salmon. I hope you know what I mean!
On the Internet, Jesse Colombo’s The Bubble Bubble Report
is my gospel on Precious Metals. check it out if you wish to accumulate instant advice and make money buying and selling gold and silver and platinum, and copper.
First thing is to meet your local coin dealer. Small town dealers are best.
They love to talk PMs. They will test any item you buy from them, and will also buy from you when you are in a pinch. They sometimes pay cash and 80% -85%. Join a local coin club, what can it hurt.
Go to internet to findbullion.com and they will give you cheapest prices for silver and gold on Internet.
Check on Ebay for the big sellers of silver and gold coins, as they accept credit cards with NO extra fee. Fake coins are a concern, of course, so get an acid testing kit and a ping tester for coins. Get an excellent digital scale and a strong magnet. When your coin dealer knows you, make sure you call him for advice. They are INVALUABLE. Learn Learn LEARN, about Precious Metals.

This is really not a hard to figure out. I remember silver at $2.00 an ounce. It is now $61.80 per ounce. You will learn that the dollar is a piece of crap and made into this nice pile of filth by every single politician we did or did not vote for. Wow, what a journey awaits you. Best of luck. In the next couple of years the most important question will not be if you should buy precious metals it will be HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU BUY.
The reason we purchased Ag in the first place was we could see the last chapter of the book, many will be reading it soon & trying to acquire addresses of those that planned months, years, decades ahead of the curve.
Some of us started buying & holding Ag long, long ago & are prime *targets*...
Your w/e charts are just what many of us need to think about the upcoming trading week.
"They're Not Even Trying Anymore" was an excellent summary of our Orwellian world. Some of the better content on substack.

Yup, I played forex when I was younger. Got a 100% hit rate in one month. Next month: balance was 0. That's a humiliating experience.
Berkshire lost Buffet's chosen successor to JP Morgan, as I recall. Bad for Berkshire.
Do grow vegetables and ride your bike, the bottom of this wave won't just be financial (or I could just be wrong again, but I'm "prepping")

May I inquire as to what people think is a good entry point pricewise to add to small silver stacks? Thank you!

You almost never see ppl refer to lead by its symbol in this context. I might use that myself.
