AI Summary
5 min readSilver's price action over the past week has been a wild ride—nearly touching $70 per ounce before getting slammed by unexpectedly strong jobs data and hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve. The host of this episode, who runs the precious metals channel MEMES, opens with an apology: he had predicted silver would be trading above $70 by now, and he was wrong.

In this episode, we break down why a lack of public belief in the silver market creates a massive runway for growth. We analyze Willem Middelkoop’s long-term $500 silver price target, inflation-adjusted valuations since 1980, and the economic fallout from President Trump’s recent trade policy statements. Plus, we explore how major money managers and a new wave of Gen Z and Millennial stackers are accumulating precious metals.
