Episode notes
Physical Market Strain And Forward Buying
- The physical bullion market is strained because supply chains and financing weren't built for sudden, high prices.
- Nick says companies are forward-buying months ahead to cover demand and inventory shortfalls.
Why Silver Bottlenecks Are Worse
- Silver is logistically harder and more volumetric than gold, causing bigger settlement problems.
- Nick explains paper silver contracts far outnumber physical ounces, amplifying bottlenecks during demand spikes.
Choose Allocated Segregated Storage
- Use allocated, segregated storage so your metal is titled to you and kept separate from others'.
- Prefer local vaults like Brinks or SGB for faster access and direct insurance payout to your name.
