Somebody’s taking it in the shorts.................
I just looked and silver is way under $50.
I am just shocked that it got smashed down like that
$49.21
It was $45 in the early 2000’s. That’s a long time to wait for a very small return.
“Panic in the Bunker:”
A nod to Bunker Hunt who nearly cornered the Silver market in ‘79-’80?
Futures: 47.2, DOWN 3.2%
Ten years ago, silver dipped to $15 and even a little below.
One could buy pure silver rounds for $20.
I wonder what an un-circulated 1964 silver fifty cent piece is worth.
I had to sell some silver about a year or so ago and only got $18 for it. You don’t have to go back ten years for that kind of low price. I left a ton of money on the table.
If you are diversified and limit the amount in a particular type of individual stock, investment or speculation then it shouldn’t be a major deal if/when it tanks.
Just be careful not to put all your eggs in one basket as they say. Investing 101.
Ouch!
Based on what I know, silver is constantly being shorted by someone or other. There are just too many dips in price.
retail is $25.00 ... you sell to a dealer, you won’t get anywhere near that much ...
I bought 400 Maple Leafs January of 2015 for just under $20 per oz.
At the time I was annoyed because the spot price was $17 when I pulled the trigger but had jumped to nearly $20 by the time the order got processed.
I feel better now that the price is where it is..
You done good. I’ve got more silver than I can carry.
I can’t say the same thing about gold, though.
I have five of them.
It is $49.29. Some are taking profits. It will go back up over $50 and stay there.
Silver was $31.30 in Jan, 2025. It is up almost $20 in less than a year.
