I don't like the sound of 4pt line and 3 pt dunks. Just keep Olympic rules.

Nbl play seems fine. No need for gimmicks.

Long term believer but had some tough boating accidents.

The silver price scares me this week though. Not the price itself, but just this strange feeling. Irrational and I think just psychology, but any other long termers experience this?

Almost a fear of failure. As in say silver hits $1000 per ounce per Michael Oliver or $300 per Bank of America high estimate, what does it mean?

Some think buy low, sell high, but life is more complex. Holding on, it's irrational but tough to part with Ag. There is something about it. Plus, a euphoric rise must mean something has seriously broken in the world.

E.g. The USD debasement theory might be happening. New reserve currency (maybe bimetallism returns after 150 years?).

So, I am experiencing this personal fear of success/price rise (my own issues/limiting beliefs of I am not good enough to be right), but also a more rational (wait, what will the world look like)?

Anyone else experience this with anything else or Ag now?

P.S. Separately, I was thought crazy to be interested and an evangelist for Ag ten years ago. Started telling lots of people last year before the big rise (by chance), but then one wall st major success hedge fund manager (hundreds of millions) messaged me after the 30% plus overnight fall around 30 Jan saying I hope you sold, so part of me wants Ag to skyrocket to at least $200 USD so I can say 'I hope you bought'. But it may come off as petty or spiteful. Not trying to be a jerk. Maybe he meant well messaging me that, but I remember being very sensitive as there seemed a contingent of people wanting Ag to fail.

Ai below, but just happy for sustained price discovery.

Prior to the recent 10-month stretch, silver had never stayed above $50 for more than a few days. [1]

The only prior historical instance where silver actually crossed the $50 mark occurred during the January 1980 Hunt brothers squeeze. [1, 2]

Here is exactly how short-lived that moment was:

🗓️ The 1980 Peak Duration

• The Breakout: Silver prices exponentially accelerated in early January 1980, jumping past $30 and rapidly crossing $50 mid-month.
• The Peak: It reached its nominal intraday high of roughly $49.45 to $54.00 around 17–18 January 1980.
• The Crash: Commodity exchanges immediately altered trading rules and raised margin requirements. This completely locked out the Hunt brothers, forcing the price to plummet back under $50 within less than a week. By March 1980, it completely collapsed to $10.80. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

🔍 What About 2011?

• Zero time above $50. During the massive 2011 commodities boom, silver fell just short. It peaked on 28 April 2011 at an intraday spot high of $49.47–$49.51 before immediately reversing. It never officially closed above the $50 mark. [1, 2, 3]

The current run since October 2025 is completely unprecedented because silver has historically been a highly volatile, spike-and-crash metal rather than one that sustains a premium high. [1, 2]1

Scientists found that silver nanocatalysts facilitate electron transfer to oxygen during oxygen reduction.

Meaning?

E.g. I always thought Lemon should be dominant. The flying characters too.

Plus, who used cursed weapons? Any secrets or tricks I should know? Played and finished both sf1 and 2 multiple times in the 90s and since.

Edit: I also wanted Adam to be dominant. Cool robot time traveler should have gotten great weapons and skills. Honourable mention to Claude too.

Hi, just watched Phantom Lady. Loved it. Great in every way, but especially the filmography and character focus (could literally see the story if you mute the sound).

SPOILER ALERT below:

The plot was well managed. I cannot handle dark gore or horror/suspense. So, ideally the story wouldn't have involved murders, but this film managed it well. Made it suspenseful, not scary.

I note that as searching for similar movies gives murder mystery or thrillers: https://letterboxd.com/film/phantom-lady/themes/

But, for me, it is more that incredible storytelling filmography. The rich sets and great acting.

No idea obviously. Michael Oliver predicts 300-500 silver. Would be great.

I would be happy with sustained over 100 (or even over 70) for 5 years.

In hindsight, seems that China demand spiked the Ag price for new year, but something changed 30 Jan to halve price and cap it since. Iran war 28 Feb, so it preceded war.

Maybe intrnational secret agreement? U.S spoke of price floors and ceilings prior to war.

Thoughts?

Say you had silver despite boating accidents, hypothetically.

It hits 200. 500. 1000. Whatever.

You 'should' sell, but then you lose your silver. Maybe it falls to 30 again and you get more, butmaybe it keeps rising or buying is banned or impossible due to lack of supply.

But hold forever and eventually pass to others, but they may never appreciate it.

Anyone else (hypothetically) consider this? And ideally have answers.

ideally you could hold it but borrow against it or it be tokenised, but I suspect that would relinquish control?
