Wild Speculation about Berkshire Hathaway

Back in 1997 Warren Buffett bought a staggering 3,500 TONS of physical silver. At $38/oz. that would be $4.2 BILLION if bought now. Silver is acting FANTASTIC right now- highest level since 2012 and yet nowhere near the all-time high. What if Berkshire announced another big purchase of physical silver. Not Berkshire? How about Elon Musk, Peter Thiel or Jensen Huang?

In 1997 there was no real internet or social media for news to spread like wildfire.

I own physical silver and also trade SLV, which is an exchange traded fund in the stock market. SLV is super easy to trade and the difference in price between buyer and seller is usually only ONE PENNY per ounce! I bought it in pre-market today, sold about 10:05am EST and made over $1,000 profit. Easy peazy.

Silver looks like it wants to run. There are probably plenty of people tired of hearing about bitcoin and crypto. Now you have an alternative that looks really decent!

Congrats on a nice trade.

Buffett said many times more recently that he doesn't care about PMs, and they're only "rocks". If Musk or Theil even hinted they were buying silver, it would send it a lot higher. We don't want a parabolic move though, gradual prices increases are much more steady and tend to hold better.

However, human behavior is bewildering to me. The majority of people get excited and start buying when the price is rising and/or making new highs. Buy high and sell low? Traders that went long or bought calls in late March 2011 got their faces ripped off.
