I kind of wish prices would stabilize a little so I could lock in some profits, but recently I decided to visit my sister on her private Island and lost most of it in a tragic accident with a big ass whale.

With silver unable to hold gains above $80 an ounce, one Canadian bank is taking another crack at the short side of the market.
On Wednesday, commodity analysts at TD Securities published their latest trade, saying they were shorting silver futures and looking for sharply lower prices within the next three months as market fundamentals start to balance out.

Take yer pick. Just be sure to include words like “could” and “might”. Then you’ll be fine whether your prediction is right or wrong.
As for me, I’m just an interested observer. All of my money is currently tied up in groceries.
I hope they don't do that with the bank funds.
Gold will destroy the Fed.
But silver will draw first blood.
Let’s ask the Hunt brothers... LOL

“All of my money is currently tied up in groceries.”
Mine is tied up in dog food... ;)
The article says it all.....TDS tried this before and lost billions.
Could there be some rebalancing with silver, sure. The major drivers are not going away......industrial demand which cannot be met in the near term with the current supply chains and deficits which make people run to perceived safety.
The author is canadian and needed to write something about canada.
It really hit me when I saw Nabisco graham crackers are over 5 bucks a box.
Shorting silver?
But they don’t call it “Cana-duh” for nothing...
One of my friend’s dad lost a lot of money in the Hunt brothers induced crash. He had to sell his Cadillac.
Prices on some things are still insane. Your graham crackers might be very expensive now as a lot of the graham flour used is grown in the Ukraine*...and we all know what’s going on there, don’t we? Ugh!
There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to the pricing of a lot of foodstuffs, though. I understand the price of beef - starter steers around here are going for $1K and up, and then you’ve got to pay a lot to feed them if you don’t have pasture land, etc.
We grow out a steer (on grass for most of the year - we get one CHEAP from the Dairy farmer who rents our land) every 18 months and it has helped greatly. We also have laying hens, I bake bread, grow a big garden, buy pork from the next farm over, hunt, fish, I can or dry or freeze a lot of garden produce, cook from scratch, etc. Food isn’t ever really an ‘economic worry’ for me - but feeding us on the cheap IS a lot of work! Meh. I’m retired. What else do I have to do with my time? LOL!
Even if you’re just growing your own herbs, or a few tomato plants or lettuces in pots, you’re ahead of 99.999% of the population. :)
Trump Derangement Syndrome is shorting silver? Probably a buy signal.
My silver Holdings are a disaster hedge not an investment.
The price rise and/or the fluctuations are entertainment, nothing more
I did not know Trump Derangement Syndrome was a bank.
BUY BEAR STEARNS!!!

paper silver could go to $40 but it has been untethered from physical metal which will continue to rise.
I hope you didn’t lose any firearms in that tragic boating accident ...
