➡ Peter Granite, who previously favored gold over silver, has recently become very optimistic about silver’s potential. He believes that silver is about to experience a significant increase in value due to a combination of factors including a structural supply deficit, increasing industrial demand, and geopolitical risks. He also warns of a potential financial crisis in countries like France and the UK, which could further increase the value of silver. Industrial use of silver, particularly in solar panels, is expected to continue growing, further driving up its value.

➡ Silver is becoming increasingly important due to its use in technologies like AI, 5G, and solar energy. Despite its price, industries continue to consume it rapidly, leading to a potential market imbalance. Meanwhile, the gold to silver ratio suggests that silver is undervalued and could be revalued soon. The article also discusses the economic disparity in America, the potential for a recession, and the role of the Federal Reserve in this situation.

➡ The article suggests that due to unstable financial markets and potential rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, investors are turning to tangible assets like silver. The author believes that silver, which has both monetary and industrial value, will benefit greatly from these changes. The article also warns that the stock market may appear strong, but underlying issues could lead to a crash, making silver an even more attractive investment. The author concludes by stating that the current market conditions could push the value of silver to over $100, making it a smart investment choice.

➡ The article suggests that silver is set to experience a significant increase in value due to a combination of factors including increased demand, dwindling supplies, and instability in other markets like stocks and cryptocurrencies. This is not just an investment opportunity, but a warning sign of a faltering system and a weakening dollar. The author encourages readers to consider their position before this predicted surge happens, but also reminds them to seek professional financial advice before making any investment decisions.

I think silver is going to explode to the upside. And I’m watching myself say this, Elijah, thinking I can’t believe Pete Grant is saying this. You’re watching Silver News Daily. Subscribe for more. They laughed at $100 silver. They called it impossible, unrealistic, even delusional. But now that so called fantasy is backed by a 50 year chart pattern that’s about to explode. And one of the most respected names in the game, Peter Grandich, is issuing a chilling warning. According to Granditch, a generational mega pattern in silver, a formation half a century in the making, is on the verge of triggering a parabolic move that could catapult silver prices into triple digits.

And the kicker? He believes it’ll begin right after Labor Day, coinciding with what he calls a catastrophic crash in the broader markets. This isn’t just about technicals. This is about a once in a lifetime confluence of structural deficits, monetary insanity and a complete collapse of confidence in the US Dollar. Right now, silver is hovering just below its critical breakout level. But if it breaches $40, all bets are off. The system is already under stress. Inventories are drying up. The gold silver ratio is flashing historic buy signals. And beneath it all, a silent panic is brewing in the institutions that once mocked silver as a relic of the past.

But what is this 50 year pattern Grandich is talking about? And why are so many experts suddenly turning their focus to this overlooked metal? Stay with me because what you’re about to learn may change the way you see silver forever. New Year as a forecast saying that when the year was over, the Dow would be either side and the S and P of unchanged, maybe 5% one way or so. I was not in the camp of people that were going back then and even before looking for a crash or an extremely hard fall more of 20% which would signify a bear market.

However, about two weeks ago, somewhere in the middle of August that changed and it got to a point where I said while I still believe the rest of August, it can go higher that after Labor Day I think it’s time for people to get in a much more defensive position. There are a lot of reasons, a lot I’m sure you’ve heard from other guests already. Valuations at their highest speculative levels showing people’s excess. We have the public record buying of stocks while large so called. I don’t know if you want to always call them smart money, but certainly large institutions are being major sellers.

I’ve never seen in 41 years the public beat out the institutions over a Long period of time, and they tend to be the last one in bull markets. There’s a whole bunch of other reasons going back to this trade war, which if you think about it, and people would just move away from the lapdogs. How I describe some of the people around Trump, there’s been no real success on the trade war, no matter what anybody tells you or tries to make. If you remember all the promises, 90 trade deals, 90 days, all these people are going to be at Trump’s feet.

And other than the European Union, which hasn’t even moved forward to formally do theirs, now we have the Japanese backing out, the Chinese are not going forward, India’s turnaround. And so there’s a lot of economic evidence that we are heading into a much more challenging time when stocks are at record levels. You know, I put it very easy, Elijah. You know, I’ve been a simplistic person. I don’t use big words. I’m not a big college graduate. What if I told you the silver chart you’ve never looked at holds the key to the next major wealth transfer? For 50 years.

Yes, 50, we’ve been watching a textbook technical setup form right under our noses. It’s called the cup and handle pattern. And if you understand anything about market psychology, you’ll know it’s one of the most explosive signals in the world of technical analysis. This isn’t a short term gimmick. The cup in this case, spans back to the 1970s, tracing Silver’s historical highs and the long, painful decline that followed. Then, from 2011 to 2024, we’ve seen the handle, a grinding, controlled downtrend followed by consolidation. 11 years of pressure building with no release. And now, as we sit in late 2024, silver is pressing up against that handle’s rim, ready to break free.

This pattern is not just symbolic, it, it’s mathematically potent. When these kinds of long duration setups resolve, they do so violently. Analysts have run the projections, and the measured move from this formation doesn’t just target $50 or even $70. It points well beyond the $100 mark. This isn’t fringe theory. It’s the same kind of breakout that led to Silver’s historic surges in 1980 and 2011, both of which saw silver go vertical in a matter of months. But this time, the formation is bigger, more developed, and happening in a market that’s far more fragile. No wonder Grandich is sounding the alarm.

He knows, as do other veteran analysts, that patterns of this magnitude don’t whisper, they scream. And once this One breaks, Silver won’t just go up, it’ll explode. But this pattern is only one part of the story. Because what happens when Silver actually breaks through that final resistance zone, that’s when everything changes. And I keep things fairly simple. But one of the complaints that I heard, not to me directly, but from investors in general over decades is you folks on Wall street always tell us when to buy, but you never tell us when to sell. And many, many years ago, my mentor at the time said to me, pete, one of the first reasons you start to sell is when you can no longer first buy whatever you own.

And I don’t believe I could start a general equity portfolio now in US in fact, when I began the year, Elijah, I suggested to our clients of our planning group and anyone that wanted to listen that if you are going to own equities, own equities that are ex U.S. equities, meaning world funds that don’t hold any U.S. exposure. And in particular, a country like China that, that I thought would outperform the US and both of those have greatly outperformed the US stock market. You know, there’s a lot of excitement now, and I know I’m going on here, but because we went down sharply briefly in April and had this rally, there’s a sense that this has just been a magnificent year.

But right now, the US despite all of this, has not been able to outperform world markets, emerging markets, China, and best of all, it’s not even come close to gold and silver yet. If you turn on a financial network, that’s all they talk about is the US market. So all of that led to this belief. But because the last two weeks in August tend to be extremely seasonally bullish because people are taking their last of their vacations and all I said not to worry about a defensive position until after Labor Day, which ironically, we begin one of the more seasonally weak periods for the stock stock market, September into October.

So all in all, I think it’s the greatest minimum. Now, you need to be more, much more concerned about the US stock market now than you might have been a few. The $40 level, that’s the line in the sand. For months now, silver has been bouncing between $30 and $35, building pressure like a coiled spring. But make no mistake, every trader, algorithm and fund manager in the precious metals space is watching that forty dollar mark like a hawk. Why? Because that’s the breakout point. That’s the trigger that turns this long grinding accumulation into a vertical moonshot.

It’s not just Psychological, it’s technical. A clean break above $40 would mark the official confirmation of the cup and handle breakout we just discussed. And once that happens, silver isn’t just allowed to run, it’s forced to. Here’s how it once Silver decisively crosses $40, momentum traders pile in. That triggers algorithmic buy programs, Then hedge funds start front running each other, and before you know it, the entire market dynamic shifts from wait and see to buy at any price. We’ve seen this before. Back in 2010, silver sliced through resistance and within months had nearly doubled. And that was without a multi year structural deficit, without AI and solar demand at record highs, and without a Federal Reserve boxed into a corner.

This time the conditions are far more combustible. What’s even more explosive is how tightly wound this market is. Silver has been consolidating for over a decade. Every failed breakout attempt, every pullback has created a wall of pent up demand. And when that wall finally breaks, the move won’t be slow or polite, it’ll be violent, irrational and breathtaking. The $40 breakout isn’t a prediction, it’s a countdown. And when the clock hits zero, the silver market will enter uncharted territory. But even the most powerful technical breakout means nothing if there isn’t real world pressure building underneath. And that’s exactly what we’re about to uncover.

So first, I still believe gold and silver are going higher, particularly silver, which is anybody that knows Peter Granich from just past a few months ago, say, did Peter Granite just say he was bullish on silver? Because I always treated it as second class to the gold, gold in terms of ownership, not that you shouldn’t own it, but you know, there’s been people for silver for decades and you know, it underperformed quite a period of time. However, early in the year when it got below 30, I flipped the switch and I became as bullish, if not more bullish on silver and gold.

And I’ll touch on that in a moment. But the first important thing is so earlier in the year, after owning gold for as cheap as 1300, when it got up to its highs or within $20 at a highs, I made a decision that, that the major producers now could do better than the physical gold price. Plus, gold needed to go through a very long consolidated phase because of how fast it rose in the previous 12 to 18 months. So I went into the major gold producers then when they did as well, and they’re going to continue to do well, they’re basically record amounts of free cash flow in the Sense that printing money.

The bottom line then was, well, the next order of business is, you know, you have all these folks on Wall street telling us about AI and all these centers and all these needs. Well, they need two things. They need electrical power, which we have a huge problem. You know how I feel about the grid and the inability to deliver power. But it also is going to need a whole bunch of metals. And that’s why, you know, another metal that I like very much is copper. But there’s been such a lack of worldwide exploration for these metals.

The world has shrunk to where companies are willing to go because of economics and social and political causes. So I backed up the truck, so to speak, in the most riskiest of the type of stocks, what we call junior resource stocks or exploration stocks. But I want to say one thing about it. Gold and silver are just trading the best you could expect at this point in time. And as you and I speak, they’re both on the verge to run, but the one that could really run. And again, I have to check my mouth that I’m actually saying this to you.

I think silver is going to explode to the upside as this chart I know you’re going to show. Going back 50 years in silver, there’s been a 31 year formation of what we call a cup and then an 11 year handle. Now if you remember a couple years ago when you and I first started speaking, one of the bullish things about gold back then when it was under 2000, was it at 11 year cup and handle formation that was ready to be taken out. And cup and handle formations, 8 out of 10 times break to the upside, not to the downside.

Well, silver as you and I people are literally just about to break out above the handle, which at 40 or more would clearly break out. Taking that just from the technical aspect of that, you could argue from that formation minimally. And I say this minimally and I’m watching myself say this, Elijah, thinking, I can’t believe Pete Grant is saying this, but I think silver could be triple digits. That mean it’s going to go to $100 or more. And so I’m real, real excited here. People need to know it if they don’t know me. I’ve never been a silver bug.

But I really think the time has come and I really, really, you know, think it’s well and even to the point in your business of ownership, not only would I consider 50, 50% ownership in the physical ownership, I might even overweight it in silver right now. So I’M about as bullish as I’ve ever been. Ever. In the combination of both gold and silver, beneath the charts and technical patterns lies a much deeper crisis. One that can’t be ignored with lines and candles. Silver is in a structural supply deficit. And it’s not a blip or a temporary squeeze.

This is the fourth consecutive year of shortfall and the cracks are widening. Global mine production has stagnated. Major producers like Mexico and Peru are facing declining ore grades and geopolitical risks are escalating. The physical silver simply isn’t there to meet the rising demand. COMEX and LBMA inventories are quietly draining. ETF holdings are sliding. And above ground stockpiles are being drawn down faster than they can be replaced. This isn’t just a shortage, it’s a slow motion crisis. What makes this even more dangerous is that silver is not just a financial metal, it’s an industrial one. That means it has inelastic demand.

You can’t simply decide not to use silver in solar panels or electric vehicles because the price is too high. It’s irreplaceable. And that brings us to a dangerous feedback loop. As the price rises due to investor speculation, the industrial users panic. They can’t afford to be shut out of the market, so they rush to secure supply. That’s when hoarding begins, not just by investors, but by manufacturers. This compounds the supply squeeze. And suddenly you’re not just watching a rally, you’re watching a scramble. Peter Grandich’s warning isn’t based on theory. It’s rooted in the reality that we are running out of easy silver.

And once the breakout begins, the market will start pricing. In this new reality, the illusion of abundant supply will be shattered. That’s when silver moves from a steady climb to a vertical explosion. But the true fuel for that explosion isn’t just shortage. It’s the tidal wave of demand roaring in from industries that are only just getting started. And once we look at where that demand is coming from, it becomes clear this isn’t just a silver rally, it’s a historic revaluation. Let’s take even the biggest concern as you and I speak. The IMF is talking about a possible bailout of both France and the United Kingdom.

Now we’ve just seen yields in France double in a year at a time when central banks in general have been easing short term rates. And that goes to the big and also in Japan, which is probably worse situation than the UK and France combined. So here’s the issue. These countries have eased or tried to lower or have lowered short term rates, but their longer interest rates went higher. And people say, well, how is that? Well, first of all, just like here in the US a year or so ago when the Fed eased, short term rates went down, but the long end went up 100 basis points.

And the reason that’s happening now is, and people can say, oh you guys, Elijah and those guys been talking about years about the debt, debt problem and all. And that’s right, the bond market’s telling you now it’s a serious issue because they’re concerned about the fact that easing and adding more money is going to make it even more difficult down the road. And therefore you’re going to have to pay me a much higher yield to where real money goes. And that’s in the long end. And remember this, all these consumer things, whether it’s cars, mortgages, credit cards, they’re all based on what long rates are doing, not what short rates are doing.

And the Fed knows itself that it can only influence the short end. So the surprise, even if the Fed does act, which it’s likely to act, the only way the Fed would not act with interest rate reduction in September, if somehow the employment numbers reverse back up and they’re not as bad and this readjustment number that’s going to come out is not as bad. Now I don’t think Trump’s guy or folks are in there yet, so they can’t massage the numbers back to the way he liked to see it and so forth. But I, but I do think they’re going to cut rates and the shock will be a year from now, even if they continue to cut, short term rates at the long end could actually be higher than it is now.

And that will cause much of a big problem. Now the average investor is not looking at that yet, but I’ve been saying this for several weeks now and I’ll say it to your audience as well. I wake up in the morning, I don’t see what the S and P futures did overnight. Is my first thing I’ve seen what bond markets did around the world, because the bond market is far more important to our economic well being or lack of well being than the stock market will ever be. Industrial demand for silver isn’t just growing, it’s detonating and the market isn’t remotely prepared for it.

In 2023, industrial usage hit a record high, and in 2024 it’s already projected to climb another 4% with no signs of slowing. The largest driver, solar panels. Silver is the single most important component in high efficiency photovoltaic cells. And global solar deployment is entering a phase of exponential expansion. Over 230 million ounces of silver are expected to be consumed by the solar industry this year alone, an all time record. That’s up 20% from just 12 months ago. And here’s the part no one is talking about. There is no substitute when it comes to energy conductivity. Nothing outperforms silver.

So as solar capacity ramps up to meet global net zero targets, the silver demand curve goes vertical. But that’s only the beginning. We’re in the early stages of a digital revolution powered by AI 5G and the electrification of everything. Each of these technologies relies heavily on silver. From semiconductors in AI data centers to advanced circuitry in smart devices and infrastructure. This isn’t speculative demand. This is hard physical consumption that doesn’t care about price. Whether silver is $30, $50 or $100, these industries will continue to consume it at breakneck speed. And unlike investor demand, which can ebb and flow, Industrial demand is relentless and accelerating.

The supply curve is flat. The demand curve is going exponential. That’s the setup for a detonation, not a rally. Every year this imbalance persists. The foundation under the silver price becomes more unstable. Eventually that imbalance resolves. And when it does, the market won’t gently adjust, it will snap. But even that isn’t the full story. Because while industrial demand lights the fuse, there’s another metric hidden in plain sight that signals just how far silver can really run. In fact, the whole idea about private equity was it was just going to be that for more sophisticated investors who can take the bigger risks that come along in these type of things.

And the problem is for them, many of them have done poorly. So they pressured and have somebody that in the White House that is favorable to in the investment world say, okay, let the public coming now and basically the public’s going to bail out the, the bad mistakes of the private equity industry. And this just comes at a time when speculation in everything is excess, including crypto. I’ll stand here and tell you this. I’m not going to argue about bitcoin. And we just had a guy now that came out and said it’s going to be worth 10 trillion.

You know, my argument is, I’ve heard a few years ago was already supposed to be a million. Some people said it was going to be 5 million. It can’t even get above 125,000. Basically for four or five years now, it’s been flat and gold has actually outperformed it. But we’ll leave Bitcoin alone for a moment. I’ll tell you this, the biggest thing that they’ll look back is I would rather have a pile of you know what than any MEM coin because a MEM coin has absolutely no value. At least that pile I could use as fertilizer in my backyard.

It has some value to be used on. And yet we have so much money that’s poured into these things. And now we’re going to allow people’s retirement money. Remember now, 2/3 of Americans don’t even have $1,000 saved for emergency, but we’re going to have what little they have in retirement go into these much higher risk investments at the time when the market is clearly even bulls will not say it’s cheap. So it’s a very poor decision. I think it’s going to lead to more calamity and just add to the mounting problems we have in the United States economically, socially and politically.

Now we often talk with you about different signs just before we get going. We just launched the official Silver News Daily Telegram. To kick things off, we’re running a 10 ounce silver giveaway.

The gold to silver ratio is one of the most overlooked yet powerful signals in the precious metals market. And right now it’s flashing one of the loudest buy signals in history. As of September 2024, the ratio sits between 75 and 80, meaning it takes up to 80 ounces of silver to buy a single ounce of gold. That’s not just high, it’s historically extreme. For context, the long term modern average is around 55 to 60.

Whenever this ratio stretches too far, it doesn’t stay there, it snaps back. And when it does, silver doesn’t just catch up, it outperforms violently. Look back at 1980. The ratio collapsed from over 80 to under 20 in just months as silver rocketed past $50 and gold topped out. In 2011, it shrank again diving from above 70 to below 35 as silver surged back to $49. Every single time the gold silver ratio has reached today’s levels during a bull cycle, it signaled one silver is preparing to slingshot. This isn’t a theory, it’s a pattern grounded in decades of market behavior.

What makes this moment even more unique is that gold is already at or near record highs, driven by central bank buying, inflation, hedging and geopolitical instability. That means if gold holds steady or climbs, silver will need to move much faster just to close the gap. A mean reversion back to a 55.1 ratio would require silver to hit around $55 per ounce. Based on current gold prices, a drop to 40 to 1, you’re looking at silver breaching $75. And if we return to the extremes of the 1980 ratio, silver clears $100 easily. This ratio doesn’t just reflect price, it reflects sentiment.

It tells us how undervalued silver is compared to gold in the eyes of the market. And right now it’s saying that silver is about to be revalued in a big way. But even ratios and charts pale in comparison to the force that’s about to shake the entire financial system. The Fed’s next move, because once monetary policy shifts, silver won’t just look cheap, it’ll look inevitable. It’s commonly known as a K economy. First of all, the 10% wealthiest people in America own 86% of all the assets. The next 40% own about 14% and the bottom 50% don’t any.

Now, Wall street basically caters to that 10%. I mean, the lower echelon of advisors, people that don’t manage a lot of money and all, they’ll deal with that 11 to 50%, people that have some assets. But Wall street talks. Now, that group at the top is not hurting. In fact, they have benefited greatly by the way the country’s been run and markets in that general. But the rest of the group, especially the bottom 50%, we have 2/3 of Americans working paycheck to paycheck. And in just the last couple years, they have seen just about everything they need as a necessity go up in double digit energy costs, electricity, home insurance, medical insurance, car insurance.

Of whoever listening this is going, yeah, yeah, you’re right, it went up 10, 15, 20%. So when you’re working paycheck to paycheck, there’s not a lot of room. That’s why on that bottom 50%, half of them, or 25% of all workers now in the United States are using some sort of debit mechanism just to buy necessities, a credit card, a debit card, or even these places where you can order food and let you can borrow against that as well. And this is not good, and this is heading in a very bad direction and all. Now let’s talk about the second part I gave.

Probably the biggest part of that commentary that I made that you referred to a couple of weeks ago was about this horrible decision to allow the public to take retirement money and invest in private equity. First of all, private equity isn’t anything close to what it’s been made out to be. The Federal Reserve is out of options and the silver market knows it. After nearly two years of aggressive rate hikes, inflation is still stubborn, debt levels are exploding, and growth is buckling under the weight of a broken monetary system. Now, with cooling labor data and rising recession fears, the Fed is widely expected to cut rates as early as this month.

Futures markets are pricing in a 75% chance of a cut. And the debate isn’t whether cuts are coming, it’s how fast and how deep. But here’s the Even if the Fed starts cutting, they may not be able to control what happens next. When rates fall, the dollar weakens, real yields drop, and that’s rocket fuel for precious metals. But if long term bond yields start rising anyway, driven by fears of US Fiscal insolvency, then we’re in a new paradigm, one where the Fed is easing into a panic and investors begin to see through the illusion of control.

That’s when confidence breaks. And when confidence breaks, silver doesn’t just benefit, it becomes the life raft. Analysts like Grandich aren’t just watching the Fed, they’re watching the cracks in the system. A weakening dollar, real yields in retreat, and a bond market that’s no longer buying. The recovery narrative all point to one thing. The era of tight money is over. What comes next is liquidity, floods of it. And that liquidity is going to look for a home. With stocks teetering and real estate plateauing, the smart money is rotating into tangible assets, especially ones with a history of protecting wealth.

When fiat systems wobble, Silver, unlike gold, has both a monetary role and a rapidly tightening industrial base. That double edged advantage makes it the perfect beneficiary of a policy reversal. The Fed is trapped. And when they pull the trigger on rate cuts, they’ll be lighting a fuse under silver that’s already sizzling with technical and fundamental pressure. But what happens when the broader markets start to break? That’s when silver stops being A hedge and starts being a necessity. First of all, I’ll say that when the last time I saw Powell standing with Trump, Powell looked like he just went 12 rounds with Mike Tyson and lost.

He looks like a man that was very beaten up from this constant pressure from Donald Trump. Justifiable not. And not here discuss that. So my whole argument about the last 40 years or so is that that for the most part the Federal Reserve has aided and abated the equity market by basically maintaining a one way road, basically running at all time and just put your pedal to the metal and go forward. Because if and when there’s been any type of cause, financial crisis or whatever, the Fed has stepped in, it’s printed all sorts of money along with the government and it throws what I call spreads money on this road, soaks up whatever caused the accident, and then tells a person it’s okay to get back in the car, drive forward.

And we have a financial advisory industry where almost 60% now of financial advisors weren’t even born when I started and 80% of them weren’t even past elementary school. Now that doesn’t mean that they’re all going to be wrong and somehow I’m going to be right. But I will tell you this, and I think it’s true in all professions. Experience is an extremely important asset to have we learn from it. Anybody that 65 and old will tell you that they feel they’re more mature and smarter now than they were when they were 20 or 30 or even 40.

And so we have an industry that really has been used to one way. And so the concern would be is anything less than that one way, just two way traffic, let alone a traffic circle or, or traffic jam. I think the industry and investors are going to be at a loss on what to deal with it. And so with us at this extremely high levels and other markets that look much more safer and better to own, including the metals, I just think it all comes together that this is a period now where you don’t want to be brave, you want to be a live chicken versus a dead duck.

The stock market looks strong on the surface until you scratch just a little beneath it. Valuations are at nosebleed levels. Meme stocks are back in vogue and retail investors are pouring into leveraged ETFs like it’s 2021 all over again. Meanwhile, institutional money, the so called smart money, is quietly heading for the exits. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ may be near all time highs, but the foundation they’re built on is rotten. Shiller PE ratios are flashing warnings. The market cap to GDP ratio is deep into overvalued territory, and earnings growth is stalling. This isn’t a boom, it’s a setup.

Now combine that fragility with the Fed’s upcoming rate cuts and you have a perfect storm. Investors chasing yield are about to be punished. The debt fueled bubble that’s kept equities afloat is reaching its tipping point. And the moment panic hits, whether it’s triggered by a geopolitical shock, an earnings collapse, or a bond market revolt, the stampede out of risk assets begins. That’s when silver gets its moment. Because while gold is traditionally the safe haven, silver is the wildcard. It’s the asset that not only benefits from monetary fear, but also from industrial chaos. It’s both defense and offense.

Peter Grandich’s forecast isn’t just about silver going to $100. It’s about a market wide revaluation driven by a complete breakdown in investor confidence. When stocks crash, margin calls hit hard. But liquidity has to go somewhere. Historically, silver has lagged gold at the start of a crisis, but when it catches up, it explodes. And in a world where fiat credibility is unraveling and investors are desperate for real assets, silver becomes more than a trade, it becomes a statement. What we’re seeing now in equities is the calm before the storm. And when that storm hits, silver won’t just be reacting, it’ll be leading.

But to truly understand just how explosive the setup has become, you have to go back to the man who’s been calling it all along and take a serious look at his 100 plus target. Because it might not be as crazy as it sounds. Let me add this before your time runs out, this is critical because this is how some people think right now, even people that are bullish on the metals. I hear this a lot. I don’t mean directly to me, but I hear that people speaking online or whatever the case may be, well, you know, goals move up a lot.

You know, how much further can it go? You know, how could it possibly go to 5 or 10,000? So when I first thought about coming in the early 1980s, when I effectively became a stockbroker in March of 1984, the Dow had gone 13 years, trading between 700 and 1,000, to the point where in 1982 or 83, BusinessWeek ran a front page story which everybody on Wall street spoke around called equities are dead. They literally, along with many others on Wall street viewed that just because of everything that was happening in the world and how bad things were and you know, Russia and the United States are going to blow each other up.

Japan was going to take over the world back then, yada yada yada. The Middle east, they didn’t think it was possible for the Dow to go much above a thousand. And then a young man who ended up helping me a lot in my early in my career, who no one heard of beforehand, came out of Gainesville, Georgia, named Robert Prechter Jr. With something called the Elliott Wave theory, which no one was familiar with, and said the dow’s going to 3,600. And the few people that put them on financial shows, they just put them on like you were putting on like a clown to show how.

What an idiot this guy. I got a doubt, go to 30. I remember people going, sir, how could it? It’s never been above a thousand. And he would give the reasons and so forth. It went a lot further. It took decades, but it went a lot further than 3,600. And so I think it’s a mistake to just simply say gold can’t be 5 or 10,000 because it traded for so long between such and such a price. We have no idea or argument about that and so forth. Just recognize that right now the vast majority of people, certainly in North America, and particularly in the United States, don’t own any.

None. Not a mining stock, not physical bullion, nothing. And if that half or 1% or wherever it is, it’s somewhere in that range, just switches to 2% of their portfolio, the numbers are incredible what they can get to. So that’s another one of the many, many reasons I think it’s still important to stay very constructively bullish on precious. When Peter Grandich says silver is going to triple digits, most people roll their eyes until they look at the data. This isn’t some wild guess or emotional rant. Grande has been watching this market for over four decades and he’s not just throwing darts at a chart.

His $100 plus silver target is rooted in technical precision, macroeconomic reality, and the brutal math of supply and demand. The 50 year cup and handle pattern he references isn’t some vague squiggle. It’s one of the most powerful bullish formations in market history. And right now all the pieces are locking into place. We have a market pressing against a generational breakout level. We have multi year physical deficits that are draining global inventories. We have industrial demand growing faster than the mining sector can respond. And we have a central bank that’s being forced to pivot into weakness, flooding the system with cheap money in the hope of delaying collapse.

Put all of that together and $100 silver isn’t just plausible, it starts to look conservative. Let’s not forget silver already hit nearly $50 twice in 1980 and 2011. And in both cases it was driven by only one side of the market equation. In 1980 it was monetary panic. In 2011 it was investor euphoria. This time it’s everything all at once. Technicals, deficits, policy failure, geopolitical instability, industrial consumption. Granditch isn’t betting on a miracle. He’s watching a fuse that’s already been lit. The truth is the silver market is primed. Every element we’ve discussed is converging at this moment in time.

And if history is any guide, these convergences don’t lead to slow, steady moves. They lead to vertical explosions. And once that explosion begins, the revaluation will be swift, brutal and unforgettable. But we’re not done yet, because now comes the apex. The moment where all of these threads tighten into one final urgent warning. So clearly better. See, there was always an excess 20 or 30 years ago. There isn’t that excess now. And the other thing is it has so much more demand and usage from an industrial usage. It’s still not a monetary. I know there’s a few people try to argue that the central banks are not buying it in any large quantity.

Although out of the Middle east we’ve seen a significant purchase and that may be changing the ratio is another reason it got way out of whack. Not that it has to be any certain ratio, but if you’re going to use. Historically it seemed to be favorable and then it’s just that that shot, I mean that shot when you. There are a lot of technical charts that had outstanding 8 or 9 out of 10 times it works a certain way. Cup and handles, especially the longer they are, have about an 80% correlation of that when it breaks the handle to to the upside, they go up substantially.

So all those things combined and throw in the fact that the things that have been competitive against gold and silver, the stock market and crypto, they look like they’re peaking. So 12 to 24 months out, they could be in a much better environment than they bid previously. And I will tell you this, if we’re right about the technicals, I’m not saying it’s gone up, but if we’re right, we’re going to see momentum players show up. And when momentum players show up and the charts really take off. Then all these generalists are going to get calls from their institute.

How come we don’t own any silver? What can we own? And you know how I know that? In the last three weeks, maybe the whole month of August, I heard from 10 people that I haven’t heard from in 10 or 20 years. In fact, they thought I was already out of the business because I left the metals and mining business in 2013. But they saw me somewhere as it all, and they’re starting to go, hey, I’m starting to hear from people that know what they’re talking about. What are you looking at? And I just think if we get this breakout and it’s being talked even in the general financial media, the fundamentals and the supply and demand argument is so bullish.

So that’s why I’m so optimistic. This is it. The moment all the data, all the patterns, all the warnings have been leading to silver at $100 isn’t a dream. It’s a consequence. A consequence of 50 years of monetary mismanagement, a decade of artificial price suppression, and a rapidly accelerating collision between physical scarcity and insatiable demand. The breakout pattern is complete. The $40 resistance is weakening. Inventories are evaporating. The Fed is cornered. The stock market is teetering. And in the eye of this storm stands silver. Under round, undervalued, and completely underestimated. Peter Grandich’s call isn’t some outlier in the darkness.

It’s the flare lighting up the entire battlefield. And if he’s right, then this isn’t just an investment opportunity. It’s a final warning. The system is faltering. The dollar is losing credibility, and the smart money knows exactly what that means. When silver moves, it doesn’t knock politely. It kicks the door off its hinges. And by the time the headlines catch up, it will already be too late. If you’re watching this and still on the fence, just ask yourself one question. Are you positioned before the storm, or will you be scrambling after it hits? Because this setup isn’t coming.
