ON THE HOT TOPIC OF SILVER

FIRST SPROTT: The latest interview with precious metal key expert Eric Sprott is worth a headline. He covers some new reasons why we should all look at gold and particularly silver. Points that he emphasizes include:

  1. Why the number of ounces of silver needed to buy 1 ounce of gold should drop from today’s @ 65 to- wait for it- 15. This would drive silver currently $67 per ounce to $300 per ounce

  2. India bought 55 million ounces in October- WOW!

  3. Morgan Stanley calling for bonds to cut their chunk of retirement from 40% to 20% will help the price of not just gold but also silver

  4. The fact that so many mining stocks are based in Canada could explain the recent strength in the Canadian dollar

  5. Solid state batteries will use a lot of silver- if these batteries took 20% of the auto market that says Sprott would consume all silver produced - all by itself

  1. We are seeing the liberation from central banker’s PRICE SUPPRESSION of gold and especially silver

  2. Central bankers have a history of mismanagement of their currencies, so their current guidance that inflation is a receding problem could not be more wrong.

  3. Gold and silver are money all paper currencies are credit

  4. The downward trend for all these currencies in terms of gold and silver is accelerating, pointing to an imminent crisis. It is the background for a very difficult 2026, with current inflation forecasts wildly optimistic.
