Get ready for a deep dive into one of the most exciting technical setups in recent memory. In this episode of the Gold & Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard break down a massive “cup and handle” pattern forming across multiple timeframes—6‑month, quarterly, and annual—forecasting a possible silver breakout into the $300–$500+ per ounce range (yes, really).
From historic parallels to the 1970s bull run, you’ll see how current price action mirrors volatile, vertical gains—complete with confirmation signals across key charts. Discover why silver may need to hit $200–$468 (or more) just to reclaim its inflation-adjusted purchasing power, and how it could unleash hyper-bullish momentum in the final sprint.
If you’ve been stacking or following silver, this one’s for you. Will the next few months bring another golden—or should I say silvery—explosion?
It is at $38 now. Silver is slowly but steadily going up, just like gold. Ignore it if you must.
“It is at $38 now. Silver is slowly but steadily going up, just like gold. Ignore it if you must.”
Up 12% in 12 years.
S&P 500 up over 300% in 12 years.
My ETN up over 500% in 12 years.
I retired in 2011 and have been taking 10% out of my IRA each year. It is now twice the dollars than in 2011.
That is up 60% in inflated dollars.
On March 10, 2000, the Nasdaq hit an all-time high of 5,048.62.
A month later, it lost 34.2% of its value.
By October 9th, 2002, it lost 78% of its value. It wouldn’t reach its previous all-time high again until April 2015.

I own a little silver. But I’m curious: what does this mean to people who are not invested at all in silver? Doe this impact the economy one way or the other?
Well Our debt level was 1/3 of what it is now 10 years ago.
I am not a silverbug, but I do have my assets spread around. I don’t believe we are going to see silver crater like the past because no one is manipulating it like the past.
The “silver’s about to break out” whistle has been sounding since the Hunt brothers.
My shoeshine guy just told me he started stacking silver.
I don’t know what to make of that

I have not followed it that long, but I heard it loud and clear in 2008, unfortunately I never sold any till I had to and it was sad cause I did not make much.
I sold the first silver in a long time bout a month ago.
As soon as I did that silver decided to launch. we will see if it goes to the moon, or if it just blows up like a SpaceX rocket
One day the shorts will lose though.
So demand trumps the natural Gold/Silver ration.
Interesting and probably a lot of truth in it.
But we do know that big banks have manipulated the price of PM’s including silver. I wonder what the price of silver would be without this manipulation.
However unless you time it right, silver is historically a terrible investment.
In the 25 or so years I have closely followed silver, and not counting the idea that I got the cafeteria gals working the cash register at my high school to separate out silver coins for me in 1965, I have developed some opinions about silver which I do not necessarily claim are probative.
I definitely like silver, and gold, and that does not make them great investments. I have had to sell a lot of silver lately, and although I sold it a lot lower than where it is now, I’m glad I had it to sell.
Silver has a way of hitting these round numbers, and staying there for years, driving everybody crazy.
I have never been a big fan of the bank manipulation Theory on silver, instead, the miners and producers exert an inordinate influence on the market because they have to sell their production forward to meet payroll and meet current costs in stagnant markets. Again, in the 25 years I have been following silver there has never not been an overwhelming short interest in silver. That is because the miners cell covered calls in great volume. Again, in those 25 years of watching the market, I do not believe there has ever been any sort of shortage of silver. There have been times when the premiums on purchasing retail silver have been very high, those premiums have backed off dramatically now, they are very low. But my sense is that the price of silver itself is quite high now and I would not be buying it. I am far more attracted to a gold price in the high-3200s, if it comes around again.
I don’t think the historical gold silver ratio means anything whatsoever. It’s just an easy to point out data set in a universe that is typically lacking data.
These are just my opinions.
“On March 10, 2000”
Nice cherry picking but I will play.
ETN then: 15
ETN today: 377
Up over 2500%
