Start Collecting Metal This Year...
Approximately 15% of every ounce of silver mined is currently used in the production of solar panels.
Solar production is expected to grow 300% between now and 2027 globally.
At current production rates, it will consume nearly half of all mined silver by then.
Once used for solar panels, the silver is considered ‘financial unrecoverable’ due to the fact that there’s less than an ounce of silver in a 6ftx6ft solar panel made of metals and plastics.
Silver is historically at half of its previous maximum while gold is nearly matching its all time high.
At the start of the year the paper silver to physical silver ratio was >410:1 so the major financial institutions are “hugely” over leveraged.
(Bear Stearn’s was over leveraged 35:1 when the housing market crashed) since the start of the year paper silver ratio has just now dropped to below 350:1 and is still dropping, so the major financial institutions are removing it from the books.
This will leave little incentive to manipulate the price of silver down.
The premiums people are currently paying on silver rounds and bars show how under priced silver already is below market price."
