* Has been heavily manipulated, and there is a lot of institutional short sellers. This can not continue for ever, and soon, the increased demand, that has been a result of strong fundamental factors, will make it too hard for the shorts to keeping the price low. They will have to start covering their shorts at some point, which will make the price go absolutely parabolic.
* Small market cap.
Silver market cap is currently a little more than 1.5 trillion USD. This means it takes less to impact the price movement.
* Correlations to other assets and economic indicators and measurements all suggest that silver is incredibly undervalued.
- In the peak of the bullrun, in 1980, silver accounted for more than 0.25% of global wealth. In 2019 it was almost 0.01%. Yes, the price of silver has increased since 2019, but it still has a lot of room to grow. The monetary supply is also increasing at record pace, which will only give silver more room to grow.
- Silver compared to virtually any other asset class is showing silver near record lows.

If we were to reach 2011 high in silver (peak of last bull run) measured in shares of the Dow Jones industrial average, silver would outperform the index approximately 500%.
Since the fundamentals for silver is better now than they were in the bull market that ended in 2011, I expect us to reach higher levels than this.
If we were to reach 1980 high in silver (peak of the 70s bull run) measured in shares of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, silver would outperform the index by approximately 6000%. I dont think this is likely, unless the Dow Jones somehow loses most of its value simultaneously as Silver goes to the moon and beyond, BUT, correlations like these show us that silver is an incredibly undervalued asset, which gives us an amazing opportunity.
The only way a silver price at current levels could be justified, would be if it had lost all of its utility as an industrial metal, lacked scarcity, lacked its history as sound money with intrinsic value, and only existed as part of peoples coin collections. But none of those are true. It will not be this cheap for much longer. I just dont see how that would be possible. I dont think there is any other trade setup with anywhere close to this risk/reward ratio at the moment. Sure, it is probably possible that the market makers can continue manipulate the price for a little longer, but with the current fundamental factors it will not be easy for them, and it will be impossible to do it in the long run. Even though it is possible we can get a better entry for silver soon, is it really worth trying to wait for another dip, that potentially might not even happen, and miss out on an upwards potential that is of a dramatically significant magnitude higher than the potential losses?.. Silver will never go to zero, and is historically undervalued right now, so what are you waiting for?
