It Feels Like the Game Is Rigged

Off topic sort of but I'm pretty sure Silver is about to make the news. I have been hearing rumblings this weekend and it just moved up $2 in a few hours. If it breaks through 30 theres a good chance it could go on a ride. (Until it gets high enough for granny to sell off the heirlooms like silverware and tea sets etc. for rent)

General news has articles about how Reddit is saying silver is the next GME

I can’t find anything on wsb about silver, and the billboards are all about GME

Now sure silver may well be a better bet, GME is massively overvalued, silver may be a good bet, but “Reddit” isn’t talking about anything other than GME and maybe AMC, so where do these headlines come from?

I had the same thought, it very well could be the corporate media trying to influence retail investors not redit at all.

I bought my silver last spring (very little, just enough to buy a ride or bribe me and mine through a check point if TEOTWAWKI actually comes to be)

Edit

It doesn't really matter why it's happening, it's happening and it just broke 30 so I'm guessing were in for a show.

Silver was already in the news before your comment.

Yes it was. It momentarily showed a spot price of 30USD but then dropped below again. It has been in the news, that is what I was refering to as "rumblings".

I will predict though that if the US retailers selling physical bars and coins come into work this morning in about 3 hours and try to replenish their stocks that they sold online over this weekend they will drive prices past the $30 mental barrier and then the sky's the limit for how high it could be pumped. Then it will be all over the news just like GME.

Redit might not even be the cause, it could be Bidens plan to increase solar production, the Myanmar coup or a plethora of other things going on.

I was wrong, I feel it is important to admit that as a decent human. I still feel my reasons for the prediction are valid but nevertheless, I was wrong :(
