— Todd Graf, Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Precious Metals Advisor

“You don’t have to worry about inflation anymore.”

“The ‘Reddit Silver Squeeze’ is Not Likely to Succeed.”[1]

Because the big boys—J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs—can’t magically erase the 5% drop in silver mine supply last year. Can’t turn back the clock and stop the global pandemic from interrupting 275 mining operations, most of them for gold and silver, and putting nearly $9 billion in mining revenue at risk.[2] Certainly can’t ignore the 16% jump in physical silver investment.[3]

Think the #SilverSqueeze can’t knock Bullion Banks off their thrown? Because miners still produce gold and silver every day? Because the Fed’s finally solved inflation?

You’re free to believe whatever you want… But we like to base our investing decisions off of THE FACTS:

- SLV admitting “demand for silver may temporarily exceed supply” (see here: https://www.sbcgold.com/blog/silver-squeeze-bombshell-slv-admits-threat-of-physical-silver-shortage/).

- COVID-19 interrupting 275 mining operations and contributing to a 5% drop in silver mine supply in 2020. All at the same time physical demand for silver jumped 16%.

- Consumer inflation hovering around 10% when you calculate it with the formulas used back in the ‘80s—you know, before QE and MMT and all those other powerful, early-20th-century Keynesian economic theories that stopped stagflation from ravaging your purchasing power in the ‘70s.
