Stock price when the opinion was issued
Inflation hedge, but also a great degree of industrial and economic sensitivity. That's what we're seeing in the price in the last few days. When the gold:silver ratio spikes, which it is now, that's a recessionary indicator. Silver is harder right now.
If he's up right now, he's keeping it on a short leash. If he wants to expand his exposure, he wants to see follow through in the markets first. If we are heading into a full-blown recession, silver goes a lot lower.
Under weighted on S&P 500. Commodity demand with electrification. Acts as a hedge on inflation. Geopolitical pressures also increase value of silver (hard assets). Upside for patient investors.
