'Reminds me of RR lol just not quite a 10x and a lot quicker/scarier!' I couldn’t of put it better. The only thing I can think of that comes close - is trying to walk up a set of stairs with a pair of roller skates on,, you make progress, but every so often you slip back a few which gets your nerves going- 'apparently ' ;o). I've a stack of physical for old age (buried in my garden LOL) , My pension is all in a P. Metals ETF and I've moved some RR across to p. metals - I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. – guess you’ll be up and know more before me (GMT)

I've just heard ,, 25% . Can you imagine whats going on in JPMorgan (and alike ) at present. LOL ,,, Take a photo of your stack and email it to them with the caption - 'look for this ?' LOL

@Phuketpunter,, here's Clive Thompson - an ex banker/asset manager living in Switzerland (he's a nervous chap , but very knowledgable), him an his friend Menaco64 are old school - brought up on sound money. He's a bit critical of some of the AI generated videos ;)

4 x pre 20's florins (40p) is 1 ounce (92.5% silver) ,,, or 8 x 1920 - 1946 at 50% silver. Just some fun for a lazy sunday afternoon :) Passes the time til monday

@Phuketpunter, agreed - think the banks might give it one last go at trying to knock it down,, which will be a last good/cheap time to buy IMO. I've just spent the last couple of hours looking for junk silver on ebay pre 1920 coins, Florins etc. My father left me some as a child and explained their relevance. But the maths only brings them to spot, might take a trip down a local 'junk/antiquity' shop later - see what i can find.

@Phuketpunter, Evening. Have you seen the price today (silver) ? Monday could be amazing, yet also terrifying :)

...Recycling from old electronics baords , mobile phones etc

There is four Olympic swimming pools 2 metres deep GOLD (source BBC) ever mined, and about four times that for silver - gives some idea of just how scarce it is . Recycling of silver hasn’t been profitable till now - but this new price discovery might change that .

....if Comex and LBME are truly 'drained'/allocated,,, and with renewed focus nuclear (data centres in the US ) - then the demand is going to sky rocket. I read (vaguely) that Japan is even thinking of back tracking (along with Germany) to open up nuclear again

Cheers gents. Here-is a quick google AI answer, but highlights its relevence to SMR's

A nuclear reactor contains a significant amount of silver, primarily in its control rods, often in an alloy with indium and cadmium (Ag-In-Cd) for excellent neutron absorption, with some sources estimating tens of thousands of ounces (around 1,400 kg or more) per reactor for this crucial component, though exact figures vary by reactor type and design

'..........Two more days and we'd better let RR have their board back!' , agreed, but for now its of interest to anyone invested in RR - Gold and Silver are raw materials used in all things RR . :)

@Phuketpunter , cheers for link ,, who ever is making those videos - they are high quality AI and have been posting under many differnet names - BUT bang on the money. Danny at Capital Gold even mentioned them. I've just got up again - I had to go back to bed with all the excitment LOL. Checked the price of coins from where I buy - works ou about £92 a coin (with VAT) - yikes - I bought my last stack in JAN /Feb - not buying (nor selling) at this price. Roll on monday , FRES should do well too :)

@Phuketpunter, I've just got up and checked , and raced on here to tell you the same LOL Apparently $80 in china - gonna be an interesting week. :)

@Phuketpunter, silvers also a key componant in reactor cooling rods ;)

Good luck , all the best.

Cheers , will add to watch list. Alisdier Mcload makes a great case - well worth a watch (ex banker)

Phuketpunter, spot on/agree . I also read (don't know how true) - that samsung have developed a new battery which charges in 9mins - relies on silver - if true ; should put a serious rocket under silver (which is already way below its historic gold/silver ratio) :)

@Phuketpunter, cheers, yeah, started to trickle across last year, and moved my SIPP into it early this year. Expecting it to continue all the time trump devalues. You ?

Iamhopin, you alright there ?
