Silver a Problem?

What is good folks. so i been watching the silver charts lately and it’s finally starting to look like something. for years we had to listen to the silver bugs scream about "to the moon" while the metal just sat there like a paperweight, but 2025 actually put some hair on its chest. we’re sitting around $73 USD right now, and yeah, it touched $80 briefly before the CME decided to hike margins and cool everyone's jets. classic move to protect the big shorts, eh?

The real story though isn't just the price action, it’s that gold-silver ratio. for the longest time it was stuck above 80, even hitting 100+ which was just stupid. now we’re hovering around 60. historicaly, that’s still high if you look back at the 70s or 80s, but it’s a lot more honest than where we were. if you believe silver is actually rare and the data says it is then a 60:1 ratio with gold at $4,400 still feels like silver is being treated like the ugly stepchild of the precious metals world.

Lets talk supply because this is where the math gets messy. we’re looking at a structural deficit for like five years running now. mine production is basically flat at around 813 million ounces. meanwhile, demand is pushing 1.2 billion because of solar panels, EVs, and all the "green" tech everyone's obsessed with. you can’t just magic more silver out of the ground overnight. it takes years to spin up a mine, and most of the easy stuff is already gone.

It’s funny to see the bank analysts geting nervous now. they see the vault inventories dropping on the COMEX and they start sweating. silver is an industrial necessity first and a store of value second, but when those two worlds collide, things get violent. i’m not saying we hit $200 tomorrow like some of those gurus claim, but at these levels, it still feels undervalued compared to the amount of fiat they’re printing. stay physical, manage your risk, and dont get caught in the paper leverage trap.

I am a financial advisor ! If you can't take personal responsibility for you investing, I hate to brake it to ya, but you ain't nothing but a sucka, you supposed to lose your shit.
