Silver is at 1320.70%
S&P 500 is at 1051.23%
On a total return basis the S&P 500 is still higher: 1587.37% vs 1320.70% but with the way silver is mooning it might actually surpass it soon.
Utterly insane
Silver has outpaced the S&P500/Dow Jones over a 30 year period

I started buying silver, then gold back in March of last year on the hunch that somebody would probably be bad news for the US dollar. I took some silver profits off the table but I’m still fairly heavy into precious metals. I’m not sure if gold and silver still have legs but I guess we’ll find out.
Can someone please tell me wtf you even do with silver?
Your link clearly shows S&P outperforming precious metals so I am not sure what you are on about.
Silver has been like $28-32 an oz for the last 20 years with the exception of very recent. And who at Schwab helps me when somebody comes to my house and steals all my silver? The stock market is the better option.
Kind of surprised, felt like silver never went anywhere for so long

I’ll stick with bitcoin and Pokémon cards thanks, not these kiddie returns
Industrial use makes sense as a price driver, but I think its legacy is that people valued it because it was an objectively verifiable commodity. That seems like it’s actual value source. Devoid of valuing based on use, I wonder if it hasn’t been held up by mechanisms similar to ones quoted by people trying to explain how their charizard has embedded unique metadata. Strange world, strange people, strange markets.
