As I understand it. the reason for the increase is two-pronged: One is the continuing ridiculous levels of deficit spending the federal government has gotten the economy addicted to (deficit spending each year but 3 or 4 since 2008 has outpaced the growth of GDP, meaning we would have been in an extremely long recession without those increasing deficits) and these levels are now well over $2T for the forecasted future.
The other prong is that China is the 2nd largest producer of silver in the world and the largest exporter of silver in the world. Starting January 1, any company wishing to export silver from China will need to have a specific license from China to do so. This is expected to curtail silver trading in a big way.
It's likely going to $100 so you still have time to make a little $$$ if you have some extra capital lying around.

quote:Silver goes in a lot of things including electronics and solar panels. It’s going to have an impact for sure. Probably cause corporate profit margins to fall and their stocks along with it. Also watch how platinum & palladium price affects the economy. It is used as a catalyst in several chemical plants & refineries (along with catalytic converters).

Silver price has been supressed and not kept track with gold for so long. The historical ratio is way off. I see it going to $100 too. This is one time where I’d hit any dips hard. I probably should even reallocate away from some stocks and go in big time. I feel that bullish.

What exactly are you buying? Physical silver, commodities, stocks?

I've been buying physical and SLV, now wishing I had gone in on AGQ last March.

Another more seasoned poster mentioned the Sprott ETFs (PSLV and SLVR, etc).
I am tempted to go to Louisiana Gold & Coin but I am leery of the markup and probably overrun with speculators right now. But who knows, it might be worth the trip.
All I remember when I ordered silver two decades back, it took months to be delivered and that left a bad taste in my mouth. So I’m sticking with ETFs for the time being.

Go in knowing what the current spot price is and the standard markup for the item(s) you are thinking of buying. If they are too high, just leave.

Sprott has options for physical silver only, gold only, a 50-50 mix of silver gold by value, platinum+palladium, uranium, and copper. I began adding to the 50-50 mix in about 2013 within my 401k, starting in January when the R Party folded on the shutdown and agreed to perpetual money printing.

We have a 16 page thread on the Silver Rocketship:
TD Money - Silver up 12% for the week on Black Friday
OP specifically asked about the fallout.
Bouillon banks and several other big banks are caught in a short squeeze and don’t have the metal to deliver and/or have shorts on silver which they are stuck with and they are true and well fricked.
They already went to the Fed for an emergency $17 Billion repo / liquidity injection on Friday to buy some time which will soon run out.
This should result in the end of the Federal Reserve Banking system, which was foretold.

Hal Turner Radio show - REPORT: "A SYSTEMICALLY-IMPORTANT BANK COLLAPSED AT 2:47 AM SUNDAY"
quote:
As this story is written, it is 11:01 AM eastern U.S. time on Sunday, December 28. Reports have been coming in CLAIMING "a systemically important bank, a major player in Silver Futures, failed to pay its Margin Call by 2:00 AM and was liquidated by the futures Exchange at 2:47 AM eastern US time."
The reports are CONCEALING the name of the bank, but it is confirmed that overnight, the federal reserve was forced to pump another $34 Billion into the Banking System through its Emergency Overnight Repo facility.
This $34 Billion is on top of the $17 Billion which had to be pumped-in two days ago, on Friday morning. The Bank involved is described as "one of the largest players in the precious metals derivatives market" blew past every risk limit, breached every covenant. and exhausted every line of credit."
The Bank is further described as having been "massively short silver; we are talking massive positions numbering in the hundreds-of-millions ounces."
According to the information coming out this morning, when Silver broke through $70 per ounce on Friday, this bank received a "Margin Call" from the Commodities Exchange(s) which "exceeded their liquid capital."
I am further told that "the clearinghouse gave them until Sunday morning to post $2.3 BILLION in additional cash collateral." The report goes on to say that "over the past 36 hours, the Bank Executives frantically tried to raise cash. They reportedly called their counter-parties, they tried to sell assets, they begged for Bridge loans. Nobody helped them." According to the reports, "Every major bank on Wall Street looked at the Bank's Derivatives Book and saw the bank was "already dead;" they just hadn't stop moving yet." If these reports prove to be factual, and I have NO CONFIRMATION yet, the fall of this "systemically important" bank will have immediate repercussions throughout the entire banking system.
You see, a "systemically important" bank is a counter-party to many other banks in certain financial contracts, such as derivatives. If the counter-party fails, all those derivative contracts are now failed. More info if and when I get it. Check back later.
UPDATE 12:48 PM EST -- According to additional information, at 2:47 AM the Bank notified the Exchange that they could NOT meet the $2.3 Billion margin call. At 3:03 AM, the Exchange began forced liquidation of the Contracts. By 4:15 AM, the Banks positions on the Exchange were fully closed. SIXTEEN MINUTES LATER FEDERAL REGULATORS SEIZED THE BANK TO PREVENT A DISORDERLY UNWIND.
