The Age of Silver Is Here
Andy Snyder|June 15, 2023
The crowd poured into lithium. Electric cars will surely make it hot, they said.
We said don’t buy it.
We were right. Prices crashed.
The nascent lithium market will continue to get crushed by a deadly combination of fresh supply, market manipulation and herd buying.
There’s a much better metal to own… one that has been economically and monetarily critical for thousands of years.
It’s no secret that silver supplies have fallen in recent months. Demand has outpaced new mining capacity by more than 50 million ounces over the last year.
The situation is getting worse…
There’s little doubt that we’re in the age of silver. The metal is perfect for an era like this. Silver plays an integral role in not only the electric vehicle market (it’s nearly as important to that sector as lithium) but also many other industries.
Silver is necessary in high-speed electronics – a quickly growing space.
It’s an increasingly important resource in the medical device industry.
It’s used across the manufacturing industry.
And it’s a crucial component in solar panels – perhaps the demand source that gets most overlooked. This is the factor that could send silver demand (and therefore prices) through the roof.
Get this… Solar manufacturers are expected to gobble up 20% of the output of silver mines by 2027. Within 25 years, they will eat up as much as 98% of new production.
That’s huge.
Would you rather invest in a newly important metal like lithium, which is seeing new mines come online all over the world… or in an old-world metal whose mining capacity is dwindling by the year?
The easy lithium is still up for grabs. The industry is just getting started.
But the easy silver was pulled from the ground centuries ago.
Prices will soon reflect that.
The only thing holding back silver prices is the supply glut of the last few years shown in the chart above. A treasure trove of personal stashes is keeping the market liquid… for now.
That’ll change. And it will happen quickly.
The decade of silver is upon us.
America’s latest industrial craze can’t move forward without it.
