Anyone remember the guy who swore Silver was special in that there's going to be supply shock due to an extreme shortage? >There's no way Silver is coming back down >This time will be different! >Repeat after me: SOUND. MONEY. Where are you buddy?

you retards gotta wait until it goes below $50 to brag this is just a minor dip
Step right up, step right up, welcome back to the Grand Tent of “Now THIS Time It’s Definitely a Perpetual Silver Shortage™,” where the previous argument has been gently escorted offstage for wearing the same oversized certainty shoes again. So the refined claim waddles in wearing a slightly nicer hat: “Okay fine, no permanent shortage… BUT structural deficits, rising industrial demand, suppressed supply growth, therefore MOON.” And the crowd goes “oooh” because it sounds like economics, but it’s still doing cartwheels over a net that isn’t there. Let’s begin the clown disassembly. First act: “structural deficit.” Translation: sometimes demand > supply. Congratulations, you have discovered… Tuesday in commodities. Every cyclical metal has moments where the ledger looks tight. Then price rises, recycling shows up, mines stretch output, demand quietly steps back like someone realizing popcorn is $18. The deficit doesn’t “accumulate into destiny,” it gets smacked by price signals like a clown hit with a pie labeled Reality Adjustment. Second act: “industrial demand explosion.” Yes, silver is useful. So is electricity. Neither means infinite uncontested growth. Solar panels already whisper sweet nothings like “please use less silver per unit,” because engineers are allergic to bankruptcy. Efficiency improvements are the market’s way of saying “nice narrative, but we’re not funding it forever.” Third act: “supply is suppressed.” Ah yes, the mining industry—famous for hating profit and refusing to expand when prices rise. Except… it does. Slowly, messily, imperfectly, but it does. And since silver often rides shotgun as a byproduct of copper and lead, it doesn’t even get to fully control its own destiny. It’s not a trapped genie— Final act: “therefore moon.” And The only thing permanently in short supply here… is the shortage that refuses to behave like a cycle.
