INSIGHT

Structural Deficit Drove Long-Term Conviction

  • Peter Krauth identified a multi-year structural silver deficit beginning before 2022 driven by rising demand and stagnant mining supply.
  • He used that deficit plus inventory drawdowns to justify long-term bullish conviction despite years of flat prices.
ADVICE

Prepare For Pullbacks During Bull Runs

  • Expect volatility and periodic deep corrections during multi-year bull runs; remain patient and view corrections as rebalancing opportunities.
  • Use the larger secular context to avoid panic-selling during typical 15–30%+ pullbacks.
INSIGHT

Mining Costs And A New $50 Floor

  • Krauth estimates an all-in mining cost floor near $30 per ounce and expects that cost pressure kept silver range-bound for years.
  • He argues $50 now functions as a new psychological and technical floor after taking 45 years to reach it.
