Episode notes

INSIGHT

Structural Deficit Driving Silver Rally

Silver is in a multi-year structural deficit because industrial demand outpaces mined supply.
That deficit plus investor memory of silver as money is pushing prices higher.

INSIGHT

Triple-Digit Silver Is Historically Plausible

Alan Hibbard argues silver could reach triple digits within a few years and even hit $400 an ounce in a parabolic move.
He compares the current bull market to the 1970s where silver rose roughly 7–8x in a short period.

ADVICE

Choose Physical Or ETF By Timeframe

Decide between physical metal and ETFs based on timeframe, costs, and control preferences.
Buy physical for long-term store of value and ETFs/digital products for cheaper, more liquid short-term exposure.
