The reason for these prices... Is it actually "different this time?

Silver Stacker
There's a bit of a narrative among some industry people that this current rise in gold and silver is not driven by speculation as previous spikes clearly were, but instead is now being driven more by actual demand - industrial demand and central bank demand. It does seem at least somewhat plausible. This would be a seismic change in the gold and silver markets, if it's even somewhat accurate then it will at least put a more solid foundation beneath the current metals prices.
 
New silver batteries replacing lithium batteries, silver being needed in solar panels and silver being needed in all these missiles that are being used on a daily basis. Companies stockpiling silver to keep their future costs down, banks buying silver. Indian wedding season.

I have heard a lot of reasons why it is going up and I don't think anyone has put forward the idea that the number of stackers has increased.

Apparently no one cared or reported about bitcoin being an investment until it got really big, then everyone jumped on board. Maybe we will see the same with silver, it isn't doing enough to get people excited but if it gets enough momentum other non-stackers will notice it.
 
Morgan Stanley is now recommending a 60/20/20 portfolio instead of the standard 60/40 of stocks and bonds.

20% in gold is a good idea now all the sudden.

I saw that report too. I wonder what their agenda is by throwing this rock into the pond? Morgan Stanley bough themselves a gold portfolio and are now manipulating the market higher to take profit?
 
They release this type of info slowly to the masses only after theyve positioned themselves back when it was cheap.
About the same time Central Banks became net buyers when the Big Print started.
Meaning the Central Banks, politicians and everyone in the club is in the know im sure of that.

The rest of the banks and investment firms will jump on board and before you know it everyone will be chasing that $100 silver cuz its so much cheaper.

Don't forget that Morgan Stanley wouldnt even exist right now if it wasnt for Obamas famous bailouts.
Back when he said, "We have to do something, even if its wrong."
Back when the old system died.
They are gonna do and say exactly what the fk they are told.

One of the Youtube shows I watched said you could only manipulate the market in the way it is already going. The market for silver was pretty stagnant so it was not a problem for people to keep it stagnant and profit in that way. Now that the market is moving up they can no longer manipulate it to be stagnant so now they are manipulating it to go up further and make money that way.

I know many stackers do not believe in price manipulation but enough people have been fined for it and there is manipulation in just about every other market that I think it is worth considering.
 
It’s serious this time.
No hedge fund, super fund etc will advise all in gold, it will cause a financial melt down but I guarantee that those at the top are lot more than 20%.
Stock market is heavily over valued, who will dump first? Europe is preparing to go to war with Russia, the Middle East is heating up, the largest employer in the west is the government and the US is about to open the printing flood gates, interest rates are being cut and inflation is coming, coming big time
Perfect Storm

I can't comment on central bank/industrial demand as I haven't checked the data for ages but it was flagged quite a while back by those that monitor global liquidity.

Of course global tension and Trump's Tantrums, as well as the monotonous discussions around USD global hegemony and government shutdowns are helping to fuel the fire.

Is it different this time? I don't think so. At some point in the future the market will cool.
 
The reason for these lower prices is a paper dump smackdown!

So you all better hurry up and back up the truck quick smart.

Because soon we will be: "Up Up & Away With TAA The Friendly Friendly Way."

As silver stackers we are not moving the price of silver. nothing we can do will affect it. Not enough volume.
