I have actively invested in silver since 2002.
Unlike the two prior silver booms when silver went above $50 and then crashed, this boom feels different.
My technicals that I rely upon show little reason for a crash as silver is now at $64 on the Mar 26 futures contract.

I am into the stock market, silver, bitcoin, and collectible coins. My stock market is done on CashApp and I have over 65 different stocks.
CashApp also lets me buy bitcoin.
I buy silver a bit at a time from coin dealers and online.
“The crypto XRP was designed from the ground up to be industrial”
industrial indeed: i’ve read that crypto XRP is a critical component in the powerful magnets used for EV motor/generators and a critical component in all computer motherboards ... without a good supply of the industrially important crypto XRP, the whole world economy would be in danger ...
The "Silver Academy" also features an Op-Ed saying that Trump is a pedo.
Works for me! Gonna cash in some silver and buy new windows for my house (we’ll install them ourselves) and a new/used smaller 4WD vehicle for myself. That F-150 is just too big for me. I can’t park it worth shiite and it’s a PITA for grocery shopping and getting in and out of it.
Been sitting on Silver for 20 years, now. I remember Dad doing handstands when it his $30/oz. Wish he were here to share it with me. :(
“I have talked about buying silver for several months now. I was mocked by several here on FR, but I have stuck with it.”
_______________________
I get mocked by some at my workplace. I don’t care.
We, my spouse and I, are debt free, mortgage free, maxing out our 401Ks, contributing to a brokerage account, have almost a year’s expenses in a HYSA and have been stacking for 20 months. None of the people that mock me have any one of those above-mentioned conditions. It’s not that I make more money than them or have a high combined household income. No, it’s because we live below our means and we save.
We view our metals not as an investment rather it is a place to park money. If metals crashed tomorrow, I wouldn’t be happy, but it would not make us homeless either. We are going to order 20 oz of silver tomorrow. This purchase will allow us hit our 2025 PM stacking goals. We started buying silver spot at $26.00/ounce, gold at $2600.00/ounce. Our philosophy is to have 15% of our portfolio in cash, 7% of that in a HYSA or money market, the other 8% in metals. Lose one and you are not crippled.
AI:
“Silver has significantly outperformed the S&P 500 in 2025, with prices rising over 110% year-to-date, while the S&P 500 has only increased about 16.6%...”
Times are changing, drastically. This current PM bull run is just starting.

“Key Observation:
One of the most striking observations is that since the U.S. last achieved a balanced federal budget on September 30, 2000, gold has significantly outperformed both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones. This period has been marked by an explosion in the money supply and a steady erosion of the dollar’s purchasing power.
In reality, gold’s value has remained consistent, while the dollar’s devaluation has driven its price higher. This highlights gold’s role as a reliable hedge against inflation and monetary instability...”
Ya got me. I should not have copied/pasted the word "industrial".
XRP is designed to expedite cross-currency payments for those industrial purchases.
I'm not hyping XRP, just pointing out that not all crypto is equal.
So is the stock market.
The daily timeframe chart shows that the Trump Media stock price has been in a strong downward trend this year and has continued making a series of lower lows and lower highs

I wish I had been smarter with my money at a younger age. You are doing it right.
I am 64, no retirement or IRA, but house and cars are paid for, no credit cards. My wife passed away last year and I started getting serious about investing this year.
Since I have nothing else to do, investing is my new hobby where I spend my extra money. I am up 19% as of today in the stock market for the year. I have 100 ounces of silver, and many more collectible coins, many of them silver.
I just got an 1881 proof three cent coin. MS-65 grade. Nice!
Silver just went over $64 oz.
My mining stocks are up anywhere from 2% to 10%.
I’m finally net positive with the Silver I have purchased. My wife thinks I should sell it. I won’t, it is one of those things I will give to my descendents.

Many messages in that, for the thinkers.
Same here. I don’t have much but maybe they will need it.
You made trades - worthless green-inked TP in exchange for priceless physical PM. Why on earth would you consider trading backwards?
