As we all know silver bullion/coins is the way to go as you actually own it vs “paper silver”. The price spike from early 2026 opened my eyes to paper silver, and I’ve converted 10% of my stack over to paper silver. Let’s dive in.

When the prices spiked suddenly to over $100-$110/oz in January I was running around like a headless chicken trying to lock in profits from the volatile market but was only offered 70 cents on the dollar!

Reasonably coin dealers wanted to protect themselves and were offering bids of $70-$80 bucks an oz at BEST (I was offered $66/oz when trying to sell a 100oz bar!).

My friend had been holding “paper” silver and was able to sell his holdings for $110 when spot was $110.

This floored me and opened my eyes to the fact that holding a small amount in paper allows you to quick sell/lock in when a price spike hits without having to rely on your LCS to take the hit for you.

Real silver for deep stack, paper for quick snap sales at full price. 90/10 is what I’m adjusting my stack to.

It just occurred to me that Cleetus has sold TWO big ticket items within the same month more or less.

Both Eagle and the BO105 have found new homes and both vehicles are serious high dollar pieces!

Knowing ol cleeter, I think “we’re about to see some serious shit” on the channel.

Any guesses on what might be coming down the pipeline?

My guess is he’s going to buy George out of his Tesla and probably sink another say… $50,000ish trying to get that big block to play nice with all the fitment issues. But hey it’s expensive to be first, but it also pays to be first !

I’ve had fast cars and I’ve had “fast” slow cars and I’ll tell you a fast slow car is WAY more fun than a truly fast car simply because you can actually row gears on a “fast slow car” and not be going 180mph.

Seeing the power the sonic can handle had me giggling and reminding me of my old NA Miata days. I think I’ll pick up the next stick shift sonic that comes my way on the local FB marketplace.

If I gave you an LS3 what is the fewest, lest expensive, mods would you need to do to make more wheel HP than a C6 Z06 with the LS7?
