Silver Is On A Tear Today

I smell a bale-out for some of the big banks with huge short positions. Of course if this turns out to be the case the fed will disclose this because there is 100% transparency.

Remember the 2008 financial crisis when it took an act of Congress for the fed to disclose their bale-outs for banks, and not just in the US.

 

Now i'm waiting for a crash.
Can you be patient give it the same amount of time to make a slight correction.

But I was told that silver was going down because of rebalancing.

Be careful when listening to AI videos online, most are propaganda.

 

When rebalancing occurs, it's due to institutions reallocating their assets to areas predicted to be more profitable than what's currently in the portfolio. I would think institutions would be adding more PMs rather than shedding them. Of course, there has to be some profit taking along the way, PMs do not pay dividends.

 

Not sure that’s why index funds rebalance. But I guess you know

 

My wife has a private broker for her 401k funds which are a nice little chunk of change. When she turned 59 she moved those funds there. Every quarter they have a conference call with her regarding rebalancing and my wife has to agree to sign off on it. Index funds are generally a large diverse portfolio of individual stocks and or other index funds, similarly constructed. With some brokers you get what they give you, no choice in the matter, like it or leave them. Hers is a little different, fiduciary advisor.

 

It's almost as if someone were directly attacking the Fed, and thus making people nervous about the US financial system as a whole. Uncanny, really.

 

I like the idea of an annual review on retirement accounts.
The index funds rebalance that I’d refer folks to is this.
Or google Bloomberg Commodities Index rebalancing

Can’t make this stuff up

 

I see what you are saying. However, it appears all of that is based on futures contracts derivatives, not physical possession. That's how banks got caught with their pants down, when prices shot up they couldn't deliver. That in turn starts a short squeeze, because contracts are heavily leveraged just like put and call options. I don't fully understand it myself. What I do know is that when large banks start to fail, the government usually steps in and bails them out.

 

This is how a nation loses 'world reserve currency' status.

As for the silver price...nice.

 

This is it exactly, these funds are required to have specific percentage limits both high and low.

To me this is old school thinking and why for stocks specifically, I let my winners run and sell the losers. Why sell something that is doing good to buy something that is not? I know the answer is risk. I follow the market and can manage my own risk. I'm not saying this works for others, but it has worked for me. Thanks God I did not sell NVDA after it was up 100%.

 

Forget what you were told. Look at what’s happening in the world. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again.
AI needs silver
Solar Panels need silver
All silver mined in the US is a by product of
other mining operations
China is no longer exporting silver. They
are keeping everything ounce they can
produce
There has been a 5 year supply shortage
and it’s continuing this year
The demand for silver is increasing at an
alarming rate and it continues this year
All this and much more is driving the price up and it will continue to rise in price. There will be ups and downs but each time it dips it will rise higher than the last high. I have no idea when it will end but we will see $100 silver very soon.

 

Partly the reason.

 

Decision Making Time my target number was $85 for shedding a few pounds.

You make some compelling points.

 

There is a mining company in Nevada about to kickoff operations. (HYMC) Dec. 22, Hycroft announced high-grade silver intercepts at its Nevada mine, including up to 1,545 grams per ton, extending mineralization zones. It was timely news, given the massive run-up in silver's price in 2025.
It hasn't started mining yet, but this is their projection. Think about that, only a little over 3 pounds of silver per ton. That's a lot of dirt to sift through for so little. It's different for gold obviously due to price differential. Until there is a replacement for silver in industrial uses, the price is just going to keep on climbing.
