- Spot silver broke out again to $94.77 per Troy ounce on Monday morning. By Tuesday afternoon, it was at $95.57. And just before Thursday’s Comex market close, it touched $99.53. That was another all-time high. A $1,000 face value bag of circulated “junk” silver now sells for about $74,000. I feel obliged to remind SurvivalBlog readers of a caveat: On-paper profits are illusory until you actually take a profit. Silver at above $95 per ounce is a good opportunity to begin to gradually recoup your original silver cost, especially if you bought your stack at less than $30 per ounce. Do not attempt to time the top of a market spike. I recommend parlaying any silver proceeds into another tangible — such as a big propane tank, some nice investment-grade guns, or paying down your home mortgage. Once you’ve recouped your investment, you may then hang on to the rest of your silver stack as a hedge against further U.S. Dollar declines with no regrets and feeling no angst as the market gyrations continue. – JWR
