Hey guys !:)
I simply wanted to use this post to illustrate what perseverance and a sound investment thesis can achieve.
I've been investing in the commodities sector since I was 20, particularly in junior precious metal explorers and developers. In all the years prior, it was difficult, especially when you see almost daily that overvalued technology and cryptocurrencies massively outperform your portfolio. Despite this, I identified a massive undervaluation in the precious metals sector and, over the last four years, have reallocated 95% of my total capital to this sector and made additional purchases. (Even tho my life really suffered under it, because i couldn’t afford a lot)
After almost four years of continuous downward and sideways trends, this year has changed. As of today, my portfolio has achieved an incredible 125% year-to-date gain. So for now it’s more important than ever to keep your head cool and don’t get emotions influence your decisions. Always stay grounded.
Also: Thank you @Silver__Santa@RockBtmEntries@KingKong9888@TheApeOfGoldST@DonDurrett and many more accounts for your constant advice and value you are sharing! you helped me sooooo much, you don’t even know. I’ve been following you for so many years, after i got into the sector.
I believe we are only at the beginning of a capital rotation event and a extremely bullish phase for the miners. Always stay true to yourselves, no matter what others say. Let's ride this bull market together.
Cheers, Richie.

$SILVER
Arguably the most important silver chart you’ll see on here today...
Two clean channels compressing: ~77–78 is the line in the sand below, 93–94 the lid above.
Until one of those levels gives way, that’s your whole game: buy near the floor, fade near the ceiling, and let the breakout tell you who’s really in charge.
From a psychological perspective:
Many crypto holders have a high rate of attachment to their assets (from my personal observation). Their Identity becomes one with the Holdings, so a lot of them aren’t flexible enough from a emotional point of view to shift their assets properly.
So the logical conclusion is the exact reaction we are seeing here on X:
•Identity-based attachment to an investment (because of past profits)
•Defensive preservation of the narrative
•Ego-protective behavior
I see a lot of people who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, acting all friendly while calling #Silver’s move a “bubble” and telling everyone to be cautious, both on X and Instagram.
These people are the same people that I’ve never seen mention #silver once during the entire rise.
Now that they missed the move, they magically became experts on the asset.
This doesn’t feel like a “friendly advice” at all.
It smells like desperation and jealousy.
Oh yeah, many of these people are #Crypto bugs. 👀🙊

Legendary mining investor, Doug Casey, says 1000 baggers are coming in 2026.
"In major bull markets when the scrappy little stocks go up 10 to 1 as a group and some stocks to 100 to 1 and occasionally you get a 1000 to 1".
I've said this before but I'll say it again, I believe we are entering a dot com boom type run in mining stocks in 2026.
@TheApeOfGoldST@Silver__Santa Both of you are just amazing! I’ve been on this ride (mining sector) since 5 years and you helped me/us so much. You guys are the true hidden champions of this time haha.
Thank you so much!
Been saying for years that we will see at least $250-$300 oil during this commodities bull market.
I am now raising that target to $369.
Oil now has a 4.5 year red bullish falling wedge, and if that pattern is a halfway pattern, which it most probably is, then the price target for this pattern is $369.
Get ready for the 2nd inflationary phase to start soon.
Since I called the commodities bear market low almost 6 years ago, I have been saying that this commodities bull market is the best opportunity you will ever have in life to get out of the rat race.
When that 2nd pink head & shoulders pattern broke down just before the Covid-crash, I understood that the huge blue head & shoulders pattern was probably going to play out too. And it very much did. That is the kind of guidance that makes a difference. Following the right people is absolutely vital. #joinus https://t.co/dZoc2yuE1z #oott #oilprice
🚨BREAKING: Silver prices are exploding due to a severe global supply shortage.
The physical market can no longer meet soaring demand.
Here is what is actually going on 👇
1. China is changing the rules.
Starting January 1, 2026, China will restrict silver exports.
To export silver, companies will now need government licenses.
Only large, state approved firms qualify:
- At least 80 tonnes of annual production
- Around $30 million in credit lines
This effectively blocks small and mid size exporters.
China controls roughly 60–70% of global silver supply. When China tightens exports, global supply drops immediately.
This is the same tactics China used with rare earth metals.
2. The silver market was already short supply.
Silver has been in a structural deficit for 5 straight years. That means demand is higher than supply every single year.
For 2025:
- Global demand: 1.24 billion ounces
- Global supply: 1.01 billion ounces
That is a gap of 100–250 million ounces. And this gap is expected to get worse after China’s export limits.
Mining supply is not growing:
Silver mining is mostly a by product of copper and zinc mining.
New mines take 10+ years to build, Ore quality is falling, Recycling is not enough to fill the gap.
There is no quick fix here.
3. Physical silver inventories are collapsing.
This is where it gets serious.
- COMEX inventories are down 70% since 2020
- London vaults are down 40%
- Shanghai inventories are at 10-year lows
At current demand, some regions hold only 30-45 days of usable silver.
This is why physical premiums are exploding.
In Shanghai:
- Physical silver trades at $80+/oz
- COMEX prices are much lower
This price gap means buyers are paying extra just to get real silver.
4. Paper silver is completely disconnected from reality.
There is an extreme imbalance between paper silver and real silver.
The paper to physical ratio is around 356:1.
That means:
- For every 1 ounce of real silver
- There are hundreds of paper claims
If even a small percentage of buyers ask for real delivery, the system breaks.
Markets understand this. That is why price moves are becoming vertical.
5. Industrial demand keeps rising.
Silver is not just a safe haven metal.
It is critical for:
- Solar panels
- Electric vehicles
- Electronics
- Medical devices
Industrial use now makes up 50-60% of total silver demand.
There is no substitute for silver in many of these uses.
Banks and institutions are reacting to:
- Supply limits
- Physical shortages
- Paper market risk
Silver is not rallying because of fear.
It is rallying because a real supply squeeze is playing out in real time.
