Lol those 2 guys look like henchmen working in an evil villain's volcano lair. hes in the room behind them in a throne stroking a cat, saying. "They laughed at me when I said I was going to invest in silver, lets see them laugh when i own ALL the silver in the world!! HAHAHAHA"
Nearly right. I know these guys...the Hunt brothers,for sure. A cautionary tale of greed and recklessness
The Hunt brothers had 100 Moz at a moment, that's 10000 of these bars. Btw, the IShares Silver Trust holds since years now over 3 times this amount of the Hunts. And yes, they will sell, some day, some week, some month, some year or some decade. But unlike the Hunts, there is little media coverage.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Bunker_Hunt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Herbert_Hunt Btw: "In the last nine months of 1979, the brothers profited by an estimated $2 billion to $4 billion in silver speculation, with estimated silver holdings of 100 million troy ounces (3,100,000 kg)." versus "In the 1970s William Herbert Hunt and his brother Nelson Bunker Hunt acquired 195 million ounces of silver, worth nearly $10 billion at the peak." Not sure if this is a contradiction, "the last nine months of 1979" versus "in the 1970s acquired". Maybe the former is an average, and the latter a peak, or maybe not net i.e. a blind sum that ignores inbetween sales, dunno. Another btw: Mike and York?
I think every teenager in oz made a phone call to a club or pub to ask if the lady could page mike hunt then piss themselves while she got on the mic looking for mr hunt .
I don't know if this topic was weird before, but since my last post it certainly became! The first names of the Hunts were not Mike and York. I never heard of Mike Hunt York Hunt and if it's some Australian specific story then I can only say that the only kangaroos I saw in my life were in the zoo and within a corral of some meat farm around here. The guy on the second pic though, looks a tiny bit familiar to me, what was that comedy series again, police academy? The second pic guy looks abit that police departments chief, according to imdb played by George Gaynes And btw, nobody can fly over my head, I live in dish hanging in a geostationary orbit above Europe. My stack too btw.
