If you hadn’t been tracking the Gamestop ($GME) squeeze, then you most likely aren’t aware of the #SilverSqueeze either. What are these? They’re both a an attempt to ‘squeeze’ the shorts and force an increase in the price of the underlying asset. The problem? Only one will really work to correct the ills of a corrupt system. $GME can take down a hedge fund or two. The problem is the business may or may not survive. If $GME is going to make it, they have to pivot. Retail is dead. Gaming cartridges and CD’s are so 1990’s. Can they? Absolutely, and I suspect they will.
Enter silver. The #SilverSqueeze is an attempt to force those shorting the precious metals market to have to buy back their ‘shorts’ and hopefully the market can make some sort of equilibrium the natural silver market price. The belief is the ETF $SLV is an instrument to suppress the silver markets for the benefit of large banks, hedge funds, and manufacturers, while fleecing money out of the retail investor. There’s some truth to that, as “The Happy Hawaiian” (https://twitter.com/thehappyhawaiian) has outlined in a great post he published on both twitter and reddit. He purports there is a criminal conspiracy between JP Morgan and the comex, where the shares are just ‘borrowed’ and transferred to whomever needs it. There may not even be silver to really support the trade, as $SLV ETF has recently decoupled their need to hold silver in their prospectus.
There is an ETF which actually holds and buys silver for the benefit of the ETF. The $PSLV, a fund from Sprott Money. The fund actually buys the silver and holds it in trust for the benefit of the shareholders. You can also hold physical silver. It is bulky and cumbersome however, you may want to hold some for the same reason you may have a store of water, a gun, and after 2020, toilet paper!
Why Hold Silver?
Probably the most compelling case for holding silver is the upcoming inflation. The Covid pandemic somehow has the government thinking they should print tons of US Dollars without regard for the outcome. There will be a reckoning. Someone must pay at some point and those who hold US Dollars in the form of non-intrinsic items will suffer the most. I believe holding Silver, Gold, Bitcoin and Real Estate will be the only way to protect your wealth. Hopefully, there will be a smooth transition to something people can exchange easily, perhaps bitcoin? Either way, gold and silver have survived the test of time. Silver is currently suppressed, meaning it’s natural price should be much higher. Coupled with a higher future value as it relates to inflation will increase the value as well. Finally, the use case for silver is high and only getting higher. Demand will not go down, as many electronics need silver.
I have seen estimates the silver market is suppressed 75:1 against other commodity markets with a more natural balance between supply and demand.

Silver and Inflation, Deflation, Stagflation
Precious metals, especially silver, play a crucial role in various economic conditions, and their value and demand often fluctuate depending on the state of the economy. Understanding how silver behaves during inflationary, deflationary, hyperinflationary, and stable economic times can help investors make informed decisions about their portfolios.
Inflationary periods are characterized by a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services, causing the purchasing power of currency to decrease. During inflation, the demand for silver typically increases as investors seek to protect their wealth from the erosion of currency value. As silver is a finite resource and its supply cannot be easily increased, its price often rises in response to growing demand, making it an attractive investment during inflation.
Deflationary periods, on the other hand, are characterized by a sustained decrease in the general price level, causing the purchasing power of currency to increase. During deflation, the demand for silver may decrease as investors are less concerned about protecting their wealth from the erosion of currency value. As a result, the price of silver may drop, making it a less attractive investment.
Hyperinflationary periods, where inflation reaches extremely high levels, can cause significant disruptions to the economy and can lead to the collapse of the currency. During hyperinflation, the demand for silver, as well as other precious metals, often increases as investors seek to protect their wealth from the rapidly devaluing currency. The price of silver may rise dramatically in response to growing demand, providing a hedge against the erosion of wealth caused by hyperinflation.
In periods of relative calm economic times, characterized by low and stable inflation, the demand for silver may be less volatile. In these conditions, the price of silver may fluctuate based on supply and demand factors, such as changes in industrial demand, geopolitical events, and macroeconomic conditions.
In conclusion, the behavior of silver during various economic conditions can provide insight into the broader state of the economy and the market. Understanding how silver reacts during inflationary, deflationary, hyperinflationary, and stable economic times can help investors make informed decisions about their portfolios and position themselves to weather economic challenges.

Silver and Options Trading?
One way you could buy obtain silver would be to buy a covered call on an optionable stock which may index itself to silver. I’ve settled on $AG, or First Majestic. They mine and sell silver. They are liquid and have weekly options with fairly tight bid-ask spreads. So, to buy a covered call and then use the income to purchase $PSLV makes sense to me.
