Silver’s last high (adjusted for inflation) was in 1980, when the Hunt Brothers (the canned food guys) temporarily cornered the market. People should study that incident if they want to invest in silver/gold.
Silver a long way to go to get back there if you look at the historical charts. Gold is similar. But belief never dies. “Physical” mania is the latest rip-off.
Hunt bros, oil fortune, not “canned foods”.
