If you take into account inflation and other asset rises over the last 5 - 10 years you are significantly worse off if you invested( and I use that term vert lightly here) in silver vs almost any other asset class

Sammy the broken clock may after 12 years be right
 
Yeah please keep it cheap hehe.
I never really considered $14 silver or $1000 gold much of a risk.
Seems like there's plenty of time for whatever type of investment still.
The bubbles could go on for years.
 
I think it’s important to look at silver as a long-term hedge rather than a quick-win investment. Sure, it may not have outperformed other assets recently, but in times of economic uncertainty, it tends to hold value better than many other options. Inflation, as you pointed out, plays a big role in that.
 
I haven’t been here in several years. Today I dug out the stack which had been neglected for a decade. That made me remember you guys. It added up to a respectable amount. If I hadn’t bought it I would have spent it.

A rough calculation tells me that since so much was bought around the last peak I haven’t really made a gain. But the money would have leaked out somehow. So I am glad I did it.

Cash is too easy to spend and piddle away. Its one reason I stack besides the obvious reasons.
 
Yes, welcome back to the older members!

People have been posting the inflation adjusted highs we need to reach.

To match the $50 high from 2011 silver needed to reach $70, so we might finally be free from the sideways in real terms.

Ive had alot of both through the years, bought and sold many many times. The last few years have been awesome but I dont worry about the what ifs.
Its easy to look back decades and say I should have bought this and that but im doing great and getting richer every day.
There are lots of choices out there and even fart coin!

i have always been lurking around just not as active in posting as I used to be

I even thought about starting a Meier could still be correct post again with the re election of Trump

I even thought about buying more silver in Feb this year but instead went heavy into USA shares -- and still dont regret that decision
 
I just did a hypothetical retroactive (hindsight) trading plan from 1990 (starting with $100) to 2011) average 1 trade per year. ;)

Apple, microsoft, amazon (1-1 longs only)
+ platinum, gold & silver (lvr 30:1 long & short)

$100 > $518.8 billion.

So yeah date cherry picking really helps.
As does leverageing and reinvesting leveraged profits. But obviously the risk profile is extreme, and the impact to markets at the later trades is large enough to (change the market itself)
for those... i had target price level on a disadvantaged side of the trade, increasing 3 5 7 day periods where theoreticly staggering the positional change would be possible...
(I.e.. say: spot trades $9.50-$9.75 for a week.
Then later trade to buy in 2b oz silver, over a week period dca $10...) as by this time I figure as a whale that would change the game alot...

(Probibly need proxies in different exchanges and multiple broker accounts to conciel the level of buy in, and out...)

But yeah... timing.. is everything.
Not to mention "drawdown" risk with leverage.

1/2 a trillion in 21 years on 21 trades tho...:D
It doesnt include exiting. But does include reducing all leverage to 1-1 with an equal holding of gold and silver at the base of its long range trade baseline through 2012 (mid 2011-2013)

At which point the theory would be to sell over this period and bay mine bitcoin for a world domination level profit margin...(or loss.. i figure owning it all would make it worthless...)

First trades:
Microsoft:
Buy Oct 14 1990. 50c [ 200 : $100 ]
Sell July 1 1998. $16.50 (33x) = $3300
Apple
Buy July 1 1998. $0.1c [ 33000 ]
Sell Aug 8 1998. $0.2c. (2x) $6.6k

It gets progressively exponential when you take the best opportunities for any given moment and start compounting them...

If only we were time travellers::confused:
