      Silver (and gold) are a hedge against inflation on one hand and a safety net in case of the fiat monies catastrophic total devaluation on the other.
      Currently commodities are on the rise. We’ve made money already by being in commodities early, but there will be much much more to come in this inflationary environment. However, time is not on the side of people who use fiat currencies for everything. Fiat is dying and an alarming rate. But simultaneously cash is growing in value. One second after fiat is declared dead.... all banking and cash will be worthless. We will return to honest money once again. So I’d take this advice passed down to me. Make profits in what ever you can, but take 10-30% of those gains and turn them into precious metals. It truly is and will be known again as generational wealth.
      These two can’t tell you this secret they know because it would crush their paper industries they work in.

      ​@@HarrisonCountyStudio Of course silver and gold can be viewed as a hedge against a fiat catastrophe but after the covid spike, silver has basically returned to pre-covid levels despite the current inflationary environment. I think Berkshire viewed their silver position as a low risk more speculative play/trade and would agree that precious metals don't generate cashflow/dividends while you hold them.

      @@mikeyriley8959 This is actually untrue. The silver market has longstanding contracts dictating the deliver of silver and the private silver market, for jewelry or collectors actually represents and incredibly small fraction of the total silver in the world. The industrial world uses the majority of silver, and many produce their own because they own mineral rights and a lot of land. Many countries, like North Korea, dont adequately report their harvested yield and the government stacks black silver. This is why the WSS movement and why the Hunt Brothers before them, were unsuccessful in persuading the market value of silver. Essentially you could buy ALL of the personal market of silver and this would dramatically increase premiums on acquiring silver, this is because you arent actually purchasing enough silver to fluctuate the market value of silver, but you are restricting accessibility in one portion of the market. So sellers increase the premium to account for the limited supply... But that limited supply doesnt represent the entire silver market. Just because your favorite bullion dealer is out of coins, does not mean that there is a shortage of silver. Infact its quite the opposite. The large industrial suppliers of silver are either producing their own or have mineral right contracts, some of which are locked in at a variable right for well over 100 years.

      @@mikeyriley8959 More than 50% of clean silver is used industrially. Of the private silver, like bars and coins, much of this silver is melted by artists and creators, diminishing actually holdings and occasionally making its way back to industry. There are plenty of mines that produce black silver, that is not being regulated, is not being claimed and is not being documented. You will find that most sketchy countries, are unethically mining a fuckload of minerals, destroying the environment and using the gains to fund their agenda. Why do you think Russia and the middle East can produce so much oil? Why do you think they can flood the market...? Because they arent ethically harvesting commodities, so they can do it much cheaper and produce higher volume.
