SILVER IS JUST GETTING STARTED: Why $100/oz Is Just the Beginning

I’ve seen a lot of market moves in my lifetime, but what’s happening right now with silver has my full attention—and it ought to have yours, too.

Silver’s climbed over 40% in the past year, sitting around $34.33 an ounce. And even with that solid move, I’m not selling a single ounce. Not even thinking about it.

Why? Because we’re still early in the game.

I believe silver could triple from here—blasting through $100 per ounce over the next few years. That’s not wishful thinking. That’s based on history, real inflation, and the financial insanity playing out in Washington and Wall Street.

Let me show you why.

💥 Inflation Lies—and the Truth About Silver’s Real High

Now, if we want to figure out where silver might be headed, we’ve got to look at where it’s been. But here’s the kicker: we have to use real numbers, not the watered-down nonsense the government feeds us.

You’ve probably heard that silver hit $50 back in 1980. That’s true. But that spike came during the Hunt brothers’ famous attempt to corner the silver market—so we have to take that with a grain of salt.

Even so, let’s play with the numbers.

Using the government’s own inflation calculator from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), $50 in 1980 would be worth around $205 today. Sounds nice, right?

But here’s the problem: I don’t trust the BLS. You probably don’t either.

They’ve “adjusted” the way inflation is measured multiple times since the ‘80s. The result? Their numbers make it seem like everything’s fine—while your grocery bill tells a different story.

Thankfully, economist John Williams over at Shadowstats.com decided to do something about that. He rebuilt the old-school inflation models from before the government started rigging the game.

According to Shadowstats, inflation in 2022 didn’t peak at 9%. It peaked at over 16%. Now we’re talking.

🧮 The Real Price of Silver? It’s Way Higher Than You Think

Back in 2020, analyst Lobo Tiggre ran the numbers using Shadowstats inflation data. He adjusted historical silver and gold prices using honest inflation. What he found was jaw-dropping.

According to his chart:

• Silver’s true inflation-adjusted high in 1980 wasn’t $50—it was over $2,500/oz

• Even a less explosive moment like 1983 saw adjusted silver above $500/oz

• And gold? It hit the equivalent of $50,000/oz

Now look, even I think those numbers are a bit rich. I’m a realist. Shadowstats probably overshoots a bit, just like the BLS undershoots.

But split the difference? You’re still looking at $165 silver and $13,000 gold as reasonable long-term targets.

And in my book, that means there’s still a massive upside ahead.

📉 Pullbacks Are Gifts—Not Red Flags

Whenever I see silver drop a buck or two, I don’t flinch—I buy more. These dips aren’t warnings, they’re opportunities. The long-term fundamentals haven’t changed. If anything, they’ve gotten stronger.

We’re dealing with:

• $36 trillion in federal debt, rising fast
• A government that prints money like it’s Monopoly night
• An economy propped up by stimulus, bailouts, and wishful thinking

What happens when the next recession hits? Or another banking crisis? The Fed will pivot again—slashing interest rates and turning the money printer back on full blast.

You think inflation is bad now? Wait until they flood the system with even more “emergency” dollars.

And if AI keeps replacing white-collar jobs? You’d better believe universal basic income is on the table. More checks. More spending. More debt. More inflation.

🛡 Gold and Silver Are Your Lifeboat

Every time the system wobbles, people flock to precious metals. Why? Because unlike the dollar, gold and silver can’t be printed out of thin air.

Silver is especially attractive right now because it’s a monetary metal and an industrial metal. It’s used in solar panels, electric vehicles, and high-tech manufacturing. Demand is growing—and supply can’t keep up.

That’s a recipe for a price explosion.

We’re not just talking about some hedge for inflation. We’re talking about a strategic escape route from a sinking fiat ship.

📣 Final Word—and a Call to Action

Look, I’ve been in this game a long time. I’ve watched folks get wiped out because they believed the media, trusted the banks, and waited too long.

Silver at $34 might feel expensive if you remember the $20 days. But $34 will look like a steal when we hit $100.

Don’t wait for permission. Start protecting your wealth now.
