Made my day! Parked right beside me and I got the pleasure of meeting an iconic person, thank you sir for your time, was in a hurry but still stopped on request of a click, JazakAllah @Muftitm
China's silver imports in March were 173% above the 10-year average. 📈
The surge was driven by strong industrial demand—especially from the solar sector—and rising investor buying. If demand stays this strong while supply remains constrained, the silver market could become increasingly tight.

Silver $120 - why didn’t anyone tell me to buy silver?
Silver $60 - get that shit out of my face
Silver $280 - why didn’t anyone tell me to buy silver?
Rick Rule: Gold is stupidly underowned.
Today, almost nobody owns gold.
- Rick Rule: ~0.5% of US financial assets are in gold.
- Goldman Sachs: ~0.18%.
Goldman estimates that every additional 0.01% allocation to gold would increase its price by roughly 1.4%.
For perspective, the 40-year average allocation is roughly 4%.
Historically, gold performs best when purchasing power is being destroyed.
Meanwhile, inflationary pressures continue to build:
- US M2 money supply is growing at the fastest pace in 5 years.
- The war in Iran is escalating.
- Governments around the world run massive deficits.
- Debt across the developed world continues to grow.
Yet gold remains one of the most underowned assets in the world.
Gold isn't something you buy because you're certain a crisis will happen tomorrow.
Gold is insurance...
And you buy insurance before there's an accident.
1/ Precious metals look dead right now. Gold $4,000, Silver $60, Platinum $1,600, all pinned, all quiet. Summer fatigue has everyone bored.
But that boredom IS the setup. Compression isn't weakness.
A thread
The next leg up will be epic!
Ongoing de-dollarization trends, massive central bank reserve diversification into gold, and concerns over U.S. fiscal deficits/debt.
Gold is a hedge against fiat debasement and questions about the USD’s long-term reserve status.
This is the modern equivalent of the post-Bretton Woods shift.
Silver, Silver, Silver.
In times of fear and uncertainty, it’s worth pausing and asking: Why do we buy silver?
For some, it’s a quick flip. For others, it’s protection against fiat erosion. And for many, it’s the explosive industrial demand ahead (solar, EVs, electronics, AI infrastructure).
For me personally, alongside my stock portfolio, I buy silver and gold because I believe we’re living through genuinely uncertain times:
1) 18 years since the last major financial crisis. History shows they don’t stay dormant forever.
2) Governments printing money out of thin air with no end in sight — diluting currencies worldwide.
3) Rising geopolitical tensions everywhere, from trade wars to hot conflicts.
Precious metals have served as a store of value and insurance for thousands of years.
In an era of high debt, currency debasement, and systemic risk, I expect both silver and gold to perform strongly over the coming decades.

Commodity market guru Jeff Currie on how high gold and silver run in a supercycle:
"I could see $10,000 gold and $300 silver. I don't think that's unrealistic… Every super cycle we've been through, the 70s and the 2000s, these commodities go up by 7x on average."
🚨 JUST IN: 🇮🇷
Reporter: “Are you rebuilding nuclear weapons?”
Abbas Araghchi: “No.”
Reporter: “Will you accept President Trump's request for inspections?”
Araghchi: “Of course—if we can send our team to Israel to see whether they have nuclear weapons. If Israel has them, then Iran should have them too.”
