  • In this video I do a full breakdown outlining how much silver you need to have to be in the top 20%, 5%, and 1% of private silver stackers around the world.
    Be sure to watch this video to the very end because it is full of useful information!

    Great video. My wife and I started stacking in the summer of 2020. Our first goal was 100 ounces. Then we set sights on 500 ounces. We stopped counting ounces after stacking #1,000 last summer. I budget buying ten ounces per week or more if the spot price is tanking. Keep stacking my Friends. The future of money is silver and gold.

    Sweet ! My stack would place me, my wife, my 2 kids, and my 2 dogs, each of us in the 1% club. My wife insisted that I stop stacking silver 20 years ago when I surpassed my body weight of 200 lbs, she said if we have to bug out I couldn't carry that much weight around. But I can't pass up a good deal now and again so it has grown to about 4,000 troy since then. I am working on a 2nd Kilo of Gold though, keep on stacking !

    Interesting as others have also noted. I never made more than $50K/yr, even with my wife's pay check added in. But equally divided between kids, wife and myself, my holding puts us all in that 1%. However, I always considered it more valuable to take one's full monetary worth (minus housing) and figure what percentage of that total you have in precious metals. I'm a little less than 1/3rd%. None of it was as investment to gain wealth but rather to try and protect a little of my savings for when the SHTF.

    I purchased my first ounce in November of last year, just this Saturday I calculated all of the silver up and I now have over 55 oz! To learn that I am in the top 20% of silver stackers while personally thinking I was in the bottom 10% is really reassuring to me. I didn't even think that I had that much, but seeing all of these numbers in context really makes me rethink my journey. I know millions would kill to own as much silver as I do now, and I find it insane that I personally own this much as well! My goal is by the end of next year to be in the top 5%, and maybe top 20% of gold stackers as well, hopefully that number is pretty low itself!

      I have only started stacking last year and I own 2 tubes (25 1OZ coins each). Quite cool that this already puts me in the top 20% of all silver holders. (:
      Silver is just so god damn incredibly cheap even though its so rare and has so much use. I really baffles me.
      Even 500 ounces (top 1%) are only like 20 tubes. That is around 15,5kg of sliver or around 13.500€ with taxes in Germany. Yes it is a lot of money and a lot of weight ... but not really?
      I mean it weighs less than 2 six-packs of pepsi (1,5l bottles). And it is around 1 year rent for an apparentment in a bigger German city (1125€ per month). Also 20 tubes easily fit in a childrens shoe carton.
      It is just so baffling how rare yet cheap silver is today.
      If any rich entity on this world decides to buy up silver it will all instantly be gone. There were around 800 million ounces of silver mined in 2022. That is around 18,5 billion dollars for all silver mined on earth for a whole year. Musk yoloed 40 billion for twitter on a whim. All of this is just mindblowing.

All I did was buy about 10 ozs a week and just whatever was on sale. Did about half in rounds and half in 10 oz bars. We have no 401K our metals are our savings. When wife said no more silver I started on fractional platinum, mostly 1/10th oz Britannias but just hit 2 ozs on those.

It is amazing that only 10% of the population actually own any silver. It is a tiny market. I record all my purchases of metals and mark each transaction and the date to give me some peace of mind. I am in the thousands. NOW, l still hope in my lifetime for a major
    move UP in the price. There is no reason why silver's current should not be in the $50.00 to $75.00 range if it were not for the paper markets.

      @dalepres1 you will have an opportunity to buy cheaper silver when the stock market quickly drops 10-15%. When the leveraged guys receive margin calls on their short calls, they sell gold & silver to cover their positions. It happened in 1987, 1995, 2000, 2008 and 2020. Stack cash, be patient and you'll have a 1-3 week window to buy cheap. The problem may be that no dealers want to sell at a loss.

    Interesting math. Each time you cut the fraction of people in a level by 4 or 5, the amount of silver to reach that level goes up by about three: 50 oz, 150 oz, 450 oz. So the top 0.20% would require about 1350 oz, the top .05% would require about 4000 oz, and the top .01% would require about 12000 ounces. If there are about 300 million stackers worldwide, there are about 30 thousand people in that top .01% level. To be among the top 300 stackers (one in a million) you would need to have about 100 thousand ounces. That's 100 good delivery bars, or 20 Comex contracts.

    Thank you for sharing such an interesting topic for metal holders. What makes me most curious is, how much an ounce of silver can escalate to combat forthcoming super inflation? Guess this can only occur when all Fiat currencies collapse, with the USD being the last mare got slaughtered? Man, that kind of world will be war zone for everyone!

      Maybe a CBDC will herald in much higher prices.

      The system is as corrupt as can be . I can't see a way out of it before it gets much worse before any semblance of peace is visible or possible. There has been hell on earth for much of this world's population for a long time .Nobody came to those poor soles aid. Only corrupt bastards to rape and pillage them harder. I have been sensing a reckoning for many years now. This world has a lot of great people in it ruled by a lot of evil bastards ! Evil always seeks dominion !

    It would be kinda cool to see a similar video about gold and platinum. I am proud to say I easily made the top 1%, but I've been stacking since 2008. If silver is ever fairly valued in my lifetime I will be a very wealthy man indeed. LOL. Liked and subbed. :)

    Interesting, I started "stacking" in 2011 and have a bit over 1600 Toz. Most of my family think I am crazy (including financial advisors) but I will hold on for the long haul. A bit of gold in my mix too, but when Silver turns from a utility metal back to a precious metal it should exceed the percentage pace of gold IMO.

      I would be interested to see how far up the 1% scale you are with your 1600oz. I would expect many subscribing to this channel have over 1000oz and control a significant amount of retail silver stocks. Something to think about.
