Mark Your Calendars: The Next #SilverSqueeze Raid Day is March 31, 2025

A story by Necrolicious on .

A striking post on X by user @TheSqeakyMouse reignited a financial movement that first gained traction in 2021: the #SilverSqueeze. The post called for a coordinated effort to “take back price control & break the banks” by buying silver on 31 March. The message quickly garnered attention, sparking replies from users pledging to join the movement, with many committing to purchase physical silver in significant quantities. But what exactly is the #SilverSqueeze, & why is it making waves again in 2025? Let’s delve into the history, motivations, & potential implications of this movement for investors & the silver market.

The #SilverSqueeze movement initially emerged in early 2021, following the infamous GameStop short squeeze orchestrated by Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets community. As detailed in a post from r/SilverSqueeze on 16 February 2021, the aim was to target the silver market, which many believed to be manipulated by large financial institutions through short positions. The strategy was simple yet ambitious: encourage retail investors to buy physical silver—whether coins, bars, or silver-backed ETFs—to drive up demand & force a short squeeze. This scenario would compel short-sellers to repurchase silver at inflated prices to cover their positions. The movement gained traction on platforms like Reddit, Twitter, & TikTok, with users sharing images of their silver purchases & rallying others to join.

Fast forward to 2025, & @TheSqeakyMouse’s post suggests the #SilverSqueeze is far from over. The billboard image shared in the post—representing a powerful visual of grassroots activism—underscores the movement’s persistence. Replies to the post indicate growing momentum.

@TheSqeakyMouse emphasised the importance of focusing on physical silver, stressing the value of tangible investments over paper assets like ETFs or stocks. This focus aligns with the original ethos of the 2021 movement, as physical purchases directly influence supply & demand dynamics in a way that paper trades often fail to achieve.

Silver’s market dynamics make it an ideal candidate for such a movement. According to a 2024 report from Sprott, the global silver market is relatively small, valued at approximately $30 billion annually—dwarfed by larger commodities like gold or copper. This smaller market size allows even modest shifts in demand to result in significant price volatility. The report also highlighted that global silver demand in 2024 was projected to reach 1.21 billion ounces, marking the second-highest level on record, driven by industrial applications in green technologies like solar panels & heightened investment interest amidst economic uncertainty. Yet, supply struggled to keep pace, with inventory depletion on exchanges such as the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) signalling potential price increases.

Historically, silver has been a volatile asset. Hero Bullion notes that silver prices have ranged from a low of $5.84 to a high of $49.45, with significant crashes, such as the 2013 drop from $27 to $18 per ounce. However, as Blackwell Global points out, silver’s dual role as both an industrial metal & a safe-haven investment makes it sensitive to a broad array of factors, including geopolitical tensions, regulatory changes, & the gold-silver ratio—a metric traders use to gauge relative value. In 2024, silver’s price trends continued to reflect this volatility, with Live Mint reporting a price of ₹77,800/kg in Delhi on 31 March 2024—a slight uptick that might foreshadow further movement if the #SilverSqueeze gains traction.

What does this mean for investors in 2025? The #SilverSqueeze taps into a broader sentiment of distrust towards financial institutions, echoing the anti-establishment fervour of the 2021 GameStop saga. For those considering participation, the emphasis on physical silver offers a tangible way to engage, though it also carries risks. Silver’s inherent volatility presents opportunities for gains but equally leaves room for dramatic price swings.

The #SilverSqueeze is more than just a financial strategy—it represents a call to action for retail investors to challenge the status quo. Whether it will succeed in “breaking the banks” remains uncertain, but as 31 March 2025 approaches, the silver market may be bracing for a turbulent ride. Are you ready to join the squeeze?

Why Silver, Not Gold

A story by Necrolicious on .

As suggested by the cover image, this is a copypasta that has been floating around the internet for a number of years. So far, no writer has come forth to claim authorship/ownership, however, what is contained here is so important that I find myself searching for it on the Internet time & time again, so I am copying it here on my own site for my own convenience as much as anyone else’s. Note that the pricing figures presented here are from 2021, so gold has already seen an increase of about 50%!

PSA – Gold vs Silver


Silver is shorted 2.5 times more than gold, err it has the most upside. Silver and gold will both increase dramatically in price, but Silver is where the wealth will be made.

Let’s use simple math, not common core.

The average silver to gold price ratio has historically been between 10:1 and 15:1. We’ll use 15:1 which is silver worst case scenario.

Gold ozt. Currently $2k
Silver ozt. Currently $30

I have $1,000 to invest =

1/2 ozt. Gold
Or
33 1/3 ozt. Silver

Gold goes to $15k per ozt. Silver goes to $1k per ozt.


If I bought Gold, I’d have $7,500
If I bought Silver, Il’d have $33,333.33

You decide.

Adjusted for Real Inflation, 1 Ounce of Silver Should Now Cost $1349 Hints SD Bullion’s James Anderson

A story by Necrolicious on .

In a recent post on X, James Anderson of the popular American precious metal dealer SD Bullion continued the trend of highlighting both price manipulation of the current market & presenting the opportunity for retail investors to capitalise on it before an inevitable critical revaluation of the precious metals sector takes place.

What is ShadowStats?

ShadowStats is a website created by economist John Williams that provides alternative analyses of U.S. government economic statistics. Williams contends that more recent changes in government reporting methods over the years have been made to intentionally obfuscate & underreport real statistics of inflation/other economic issues. The site offers a return to the pre-manipulation methodologies to reveal key economic indicators like inflation, unemployment, GDP, etc. This is what Anderson referenced when making his statement.

Are Calls for $1300 Silver a New Normal?

This price actually reflects the writings of Echo, which I previously commented on, but who now seems to be banned from X. He wrote that the real price of silver is between $1,200 to $1,200,000, so while it’s on the low end, the price Anderson calls out is congruent with this.

What is the Gold-Silver Ratio (GSR)?

The Gold-Silver Ratio (GSR) is a measure used to determine the relative value of gold to silver. It’s calculated by dividing the current price of gold by the current price of silver. The ratio indicates how many ounces of silver are needed to purchase one ounce of gold. Historically, the GSR has averaged about 7 ounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold. 7:1 is also the current mining ratio in 2025. However, gold is now about $2900 per ounce & the price of silver is $32 per ounce. so the GSR has been floating around 90:1, which is outrageous. Ignoring all inflation, a price adjustment for silver just based on current mining ratios alone means that it should cost, at a minimum, $414/ounce–14x its current price.

Is Silver the Investment Opportunity of a Lifetime?

With current silver prices hovering around $32/ounce as of this writing, an adjustment to $1349/ounce presents a potential return of about 42x any initial investment. The low entry of just $32 means that pretty much anyone can get into silver at these prices. but with supply deficits in the hundreds of millions of ounces & industrial as well as military demands being prioritised, retail sales of silver bullion may become unsustainable to the point of outright unavailability soon.

With New 25% Tariffs Going Into Effect Monday, Is This the Best Weekend Ever to Buy Silver?

A story by Necrolicious on .

United States President Trump announced 25% tariffs on Canadian & Mexican imports. The US imports significant amounts of silver from Mexico & Canada, which could be directly impacted by these tariff, potentially decreasing supply & increasing pricing. Those who buy silver & gold during the weekend market closure, could potentially see a 25% gain on their investment when market trading hours resume on Monday.

Understanding the Silver Squeeze Movement & the Impact of Tariffs

In recent times, the #silversqueeze movement has caught the attention of investors & enthusiasts alike, sparking a surge in interest around silver as an investment. But what exactly is this movement, & how does it intertwine with the recent news about a potential 25% tariff on silver imports into the US? Let’s dive into this fascinating topic in a way that’s easy to grasp.

What is the Silver Squeeze Movement?

The #silversqueeze movement refers to a grassroots effort by investors to increase the price of silver by buying physical silver in bulk. The idea is to create a “squeeze” on silver’s availability, forcing those with short positions (who have bet that the price will go down) to buy back at higher prices, thus driving the price up even further. This movement gained traction through social media platforms like X, where users share updates, strategies, & insights on silver investments.

The movement isn’t just about making a profit; it’s also seen as a way to challenge the traditional financial institutions that have historically influenced silver prices. By reducing the available supply of silver for industrial use & investment, enthusiasts hope to demonstrate the power of collective action in the commodities market.

Impact of a 25% Tariff on Silver Imports

Now, let’s talk about the recent development that could add fuel to the silver squeeze fire: a proposed 25% tariff on silver imports into the US. Silver imports are significant for the US, with around 150 million ounces coming in each year, primarily from Mexico & Canada. A tariff would mean that importers would have to pay an additional 25% on these imports, which would inevitably increase the cost of silver within the US market.

This tariff could have several implications:

  1. Increased Silver Prices: The added cost of tariffs would likely lead to higher prices for silver in the US as importers pass on the extra cost to consumers. This could make the #silversqueeze strategy even more effective by naturally reducing the supply of affordable silver.
  2. Safe-Haven Appeal: Silver, like gold, is often considered a safe-haven asset during times of economic uncertainty. Tariffs could create economic turbulence, pushing investors towards silver as a hedge against inflation or market volatility, further driving demand & prices up.
  3. Supply Chain Disruptions: With tariffs, the supply of silver might become less predictable, affecting industries that rely on silver for electronics, medicine, solar panels, & jewelry. This could lead to a short-term squeeze on supply, aligning with the goals of the #silversqueeze movement.

The #silversqueeze movement combined with the new tariff on silver imports presents a unique scenario for the silver market. Investors are watching closely as these dynamics could significantly alter silver’s price & availability. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or new to the silver market, understanding these trends is crucial. Keep an eye on the movement & the tariff developments, as they could offer both opportunities & challenges in the world of silver investment.

What is the Real Silver Price?

A story by Necrolicious on .

In a pinned thread on X, silver investor / #silversqueeze proponent @echodatruth writes:

“The real value of silver is between $12,000 to $1,200,000 per oz.
Hear me out…
You’re probably wondering how I got to those crazy silver prices. Well, it’s simpler than you think. [At the COMEX] there are 400 paper contracts for each ounce of silver…
Here’s the basic math:
Hypothetical real silver price = current silver price × paper to silver ratio
So,
Hypothetical real silver price = $30.00 × 400 ≈ $12,000.00
Crazy, right? But it gets even wilder because each of those 400 contracts could be leveraged up to 100 times (not saying they all are, but hypothetically):
Adjusted ratio = nominal ratio × average leverage
Adjusted ratio = 400 × 100 = 40,000
So,
Hypothetical real silver price = $30.00 × 40,000 ≈ $1,200,000 🤯🤯🤯”

My thoughts on this:

I personally feel like Echo’s analysis is slightly off. Not because it is too high, but because it is too LOW!
Everything he said about COMEX spoofing silver contracts is true, but the big problem here is that they do the same thing to gold, which he has not taken into account. I feel that this is a major fallacy since silver has been priced against gold, not fiat, for the majority of history,

For gold, they are currently spoofing 127.56 contracts for every 1 ounce of gold they actually have, so let’s follow Echo’s logic here. Note that prices & rates are current as of January 30, 2025.

Scenario 1

Hypothetical real gold price per ounce: current gold price $2,767.36 USD × paper to gold ratio 127.56 = $352,147.62 USD (54,419,132.46 JPY)

Scenario 2

Hypothetical real gold price per ounce: Adjusted ratio = nominal ratio × average leverage Adjusted Ratio = $2,767.36 USD × 12756 = $35,214,761.76 USD (5,441,913,208.58 JPY)

The historical average of silver being mined is 15 ounces of silver mined for every 1 ounce of gold mined, but due to recent scarcity, it is now at a ratio of 7 ounces of silver being mined for every 1 ounce of gold mined.

Assuming Scenario 1 is True

WORST price for 1 ounce of silver (1/15 true gold price) $23,476.51 USD (3,627,942.47 JPY).
BEST price for 1 ounce of silver (1/7 true gold price) $50,306.80 USD (7,774,161.34 JPY).

Assuming Scenario 2 is True

WORST price for 1 ounce of silver (1/15 true gold price) $2,347,650.78 USD (362,879,470.72 JPY).
BEST price for 1 ounce of silver (1/7 true gold price) $5,030,680.25 USD (777,481,957.83 JPY).

Image: Make Gold Great Again

With the gold to silver ratio (GSR) now hovering around 91 to 1 (in other words, you can buy 91 ounces of silver for the same cost as 1 ounce of gold) as annual silver supply deficits climb ever closer to 200 million ounces, my personal opinion is that silver is now presenting the investment opportunity of a lifetime!

Evidence of Dwindling Silver Supply Called Out by Scottsdale Mint Founder & CEO

A story by Necrolicious on .

“Silver Refineries in the US are backed up more than 3 Months!!! They are processing so much material into Comex Good Delivery (on behalf of the banks) that industrial consumption is having issues finding reasonably priced physical Silver. *Retail investors are generally unaware of what’s happening.” posted Founder & CEO of Scottsdale Mint Co-Founder & CEO of The Wyoming Reserve Opportunity Zone Fund Corporation Josh Philip Phair on X.

The comments follow mounting evidence of silver production deficits to the tune of 200,000,000 troy ounces as well as banks carrying short positions of nearly that much, while COMEX, by all accounts, allegedly cannot stand for physical delivery with paper silver trading at approximately a 400:1 ratio to real silver inventory.

Will we soon see the long-awaited #silversqueeze come to fruition with silver stackers becoming millionaires overtnight?

Why a Vampire Has No Reflection: Mythology & Science

A story by Necrolicious on .

Vampires have been a subject of fascination for centuries, their legends steeped in mystery, fear, & allure. One of the most iconic traits of these supernatural beings is their inability to cast a reflection. But why is this the case? Let us delve into the origins of this idea, its evolution in folklore, & its connection to science & symbolism.

Origins in Folklore

The concept of vampires lacking a reflection has its roots in European folklore. In many cultures, mirrors were seen as more than tools for personal grooming; they were believed to reveal the soul. This belief tied mirrors to spiritual realms, making them instruments of truth.

Vampires, often portrayed as soulless creatures, were thought to lack the essence needed to cast a reflection. The absence of a reflection symbolised their detachment from humanity & their rejection of divine order. In Eastern European traditions, mirrors were sometimes used during funerals to prevent the deceased from returning as vampires.

Literary Evolution

The notion of a vampire’s missing reflection was cemented in popular culture through literature. Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula is perhaps the most influential work to popularise this concept. In the story, Count Dracula’s lack of reflection is described as unsettling evidence of his otherworldly nature.

This idea was embraced & expanded upon in subsequent vampire stories, films, & television series, reinforcing its place in the modern vampire mythos. The reflection trope became a metaphor for the vampire’s disconnection from life & morality, emphasising their unnatural existence.

Symbolism & Interpretation

From a symbolic perspective, the absence of a reflection represents more than a supernatural quirk. It serves as a profound metaphor for self-awareness—or the lack thereof. Mirrors are often associated with introspection & identity. A vampire’s inability to see their reflection could signify their loss of humanity & self-identity.

Moreover, it ties into the theme of vanity. In some interpretations, vampires, being eternally youthful & beautiful, are portrayed as the ultimate narcissists. The lack of reflection denies them the ability to admire their appearance, serving as poetic irony.

Science Meets Myth

While the vampire myth is fictional, some scientific explanations have been offered to rationalise this phenomenon within the context of storytelling. Mirrors, particularly older ones, were traditionally made with silver—a material often linked to purity & protection against evil. Silver is considered toxic to vampires in many legends, so their inability to reflect in mirrors may be a consequence of this aversion.

Modern physics offers a more whimsical explanation: if vampires absorb all light rather than reflecting it, they might effectively appear invisible in mirrors. While entirely speculative, such theories add an entertaining layer of realism to the supernatural myth.

Legacy of the Reflection Myth

The idea of vampires having no reflection has become a lasting symbol of their otherness. It underscores their position as creatures trapped between life & death, humanity & monstrosity. This trait remains a staple in modern interpretations, continuing to captivate audiences & spark curiosity.

The allure of the vampire legend lies in its ability to evolve while maintaining its mystique. The reflection myth is just one of the many facets that keep vampires endlessly intriguing. It serves as a reminder of how folklore, symbolism, & creative imagination combine to shape enduring myths.

#silversqueeze Development?

A story by Necrolicious on .

Crescat Capital macro strategist Otavio Costa has taken to X to note:

“Traders are currently swapping [silver] futures contracts for the actual physical asset at record levels.”

Could this abrupt spike in physical silver demand be indicative of the #silversqueeze moment many silver stackers have been waiting for?

Will it be a small bump up are are we looking at the big silver revaluation that’s 150+ years in the making that will reshape the entire world of finance & beyond?
