Precious metals doubters and copers are still having a rough time as silver continues its heroic upward trajectory. Sitting at approximately $94/oz at the time of publication, gold’s little brother is likely to break the $100 threshold in the next few days. Many have been speculating why this is happening now and what we really have is the perfect autism storm.

There is record uncertainty is financial markets across the board. While record high prices and valuations are nice for investors, many are wondering where the next dollar should go. With prices being so high, silver looked like a great place to park money when it was sitting at under $50/oz only six months ago. Add in the constant threat of tariffs, increasing money supply, and a dwindling confidence in the US dollar and broad economy and silver was set to explode.

The historical Gold/Silver ratio also provides insight into what the relative value of the metals should be. Currently sitting at around 51.58, this means that gold is 51.58 times more expensive than silver. In April of 2025, the G/S ratio was temporarily over 100, a sign that people were tremendously confused about silver and should have invested. The G/S ratio sank as low as 32 in 2011 so there is technically more room for it to run higher, although gold is rising too. Both metals could continue a massive run up give uncertainty in almost every other place that one can park money.

What should the average investor do? Probably not much since if you are reading this odds are you are a brokie and can’t afford to drop a few grand on silver today. If you are already rich and high IQ you already have precious metals. Keep stacking and keep profiting.
