any way I can find out what the price of silver was the day after the election? I’m hitting a roadblock, only getting historical charts going back 100+ years. Obviously, I’m doing something wrong here.

it's a moving chart... but 1 year ago silver was $10.00/oz
you can also check out stockcharts.com. you have the ability to drag the time span of the chart at the bottom

adding in the comparison the 6 month treasuries is very interesting (1 year treasuries are the same)
