Losing money hedging makes sense... forget who but that is also what one of the other Youtube guys said. Because if they buy from me then they'd go hedge buy selling some lower priced futures and they don't want to lock in that loss.

It really does seem like the US market is having problems buying silver. I wonder if this was done more on purpose to keep US silver here in the country

 
It seems like there is a REAL opportunity in here for a business. Someone like King Kong in Asia to help buy up all the stupid Americans Silver. I can't believe that the one or two refiners here controlled so much of the business but that appears to be what happened. Anyone want to bet who controls/owns those refineries?

Sal/Salivate Metal is not AI. He's been around. He's sponsored by Summit Metals.

Sal from the Salivate Metal YouTube channel (also known as SalivateMetal or @SalivateMetal) is the creator and host of the channel. He goes by the online moniker "Salivate Metal" (a play on words combining "salivate" with "precious metals," reflecting enthusiasm for gold, silver, and other bullion).

He is a prominent figure in the precious metals community, particularly among "stackers" (people who collect physical silver and gold as investments). Sal has been active for years—described as one of the OGs (original gangsters/pioneers) in the silver-stacking YouTube scene, with content dating back to at least 2017 and likely earlier. Key details about him and the channel:
  • The channel focuses on educating, informing, and entertaining viewers about precious metals (silver, gold, platinum, etc.), including market news, price analysis, bullion stacking tips, coin reviews, product unboxings, and discussions on topics like spot prices, debt crises, and investment strategies.
  • His community is often called "Salivation Nation."
  • He's collaborated on custom silver rounds (e.g., 2 oz .999 fine silver collectibles minted with Intaglio Mint and sold through dealers like JM Bullion or Summit Metals).
  • In interviews and community mentions, he's referred to as "Uncle Sal" or simply "Sal", and praised for providing balanced, realistic advice without hype (e.g., in Reddit's r/Silverbugs and interviews with SD Bullion).
  • The channel has around 110K subscribers and remains active, with recent videos and posts discussing silver price highs, market events, and debunking misinformation.
He keeps a relatively low personal profile—no full real name or detailed bio is prominently shared—but he's well-respected in the niche for his long-term, grounded take on precious metals investing. You can check out the channel directly here: https://www.youtube.com/@SalivateMetal.

Biggest Drop in Intraday Price History — Silver Correction​

Literally falling within some 30 hours from the new nominal price high of $121 oz hit yesterday morning, eastern US time.
To the intra-day low early afternoon today, bottom ticking just below $75 oz.
Gold and the other precious metals saw massive price volatility as well, both up and down this week.
The precious metals markets experienced significant volatility throughout the week.
The spot silver price melted down to close the week at $85.26 oz bid. I would have been thrilled a year ago if you had told me that.
The spot gold price touched nearly $5,600 oz spot this week and finished the week at $4,894 oz bid.
The spot gold-to-silver ratio blew up from the mid-40s to close the week at 57 oz of spot silver to buy 1 oz of spot gold.
I am going to leave links to my article in the comments and show notes below. Read and share it with anyone interested in understanding why precious metals, specifically silver, have been breaking price walls of late.
If you are buying this spot price dip and adding to your bullion positions this weekend, be sure to check out these deals and more at www.SDBullion.com/deals
That will be all for this Week's SD Bullion Market Update. As always, to you out there, take great care of yourselves and those you love.

DEALER REACTS TO MASSIVE CRASH IN SILVER AND GOLD! 📉 WARNING: IS THE METALS BULL RUN OVER??​

Feb 1, 2026 #Silver #Gold #MarketCrash
My bullion dealer reacts to the MASSIVE CRASH in silver and gold. Spot prices dipped on Thursday, January 29th when I visited my Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop, and then the market sharply corrected the following day. Is the metals bull run over? Was the drop in silver and gold due to President Trump's nomination of the new Fed Chair? The partial government shutdown? Or is it because of what Tim has been WARNING about for a while now...a "Great Short" by the Wall Street hedge funds and banksters in the futures markets! What will happen next? And what are gold and silver stackers like the people in Tim shop and me DOING RIGHT NOW? These are amazing times requiring us to stack precious metals. Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency. Make sure you build a stack of silver rounds, silver bars, silver coins, and gold coins as essential barter and wealth preservation!

I forget where I heard it hear recently but another proposed reason for the Refinery problems. They claim that the refiners were basically switched to run dore from the South American mines that we can get... everything else is pretty much left behind. That would also be a reasonable explanation.

Though I'd like to hear from a mining CEO that says they are actually shipping it north to refine.

How Much Gold to Buy a House?!​

Another wild week for precious metals, especially so in silver, bottom-ticking around $64 oz in last evening's trading.
We're going to get into broader, fundamental evidence on why this ongoing bull market in bullion remains intact, and while violent and volatile, this is a price shakeout on the long road ahead.
The spot silver and gold markets had another mixed and volatile week.
The spot silver price intra-week top-ticked near $92, bottom-ticked near $64, and closed the week at $77.71 oz bid.
The spot gold price showed relative strength versus silver in the selloff and closed the week up at $4,966 oz bid.
The spot gold silver ratio swung wildly in the silver selloff and closed the week at 64, a full twenty ounces over its recent low near 44, only about ten days ago.
If you are buying this silver spot price dip and adding to your bullion positions this weekend, be sure to check out these deals and more at www.SDBullion.com/deals
That will be all for this Week's SD Bullion Market Update. As always, to you out there, take great care of yourselves and those you love.

BULLION DEALER FLOODED WITH SILVER BUYERS! IS THE BOTTOM IN FOR PRECIOUS METALS??​

Feb 7, 2026
In this video my bullion dealer is FLOODED by silver buyers both in his shop and over the phone as the gold to silver ratio (GSR) jumps up! Is the bottom in for precious metals? Are we going to see silver's spot price in the 60s again, or is my silver prediction of $120 per ounce at the end of 2026 still likely? And is gold about to break above $5,000 an ounce this week? Watch as lines grow and the parking lot fills up as silver buyers come to buy bullion from Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop in Manchester, NH. This video was recorded on Thursday, February 5th during a recent correction for both silver and gold. Why are people buying the price dip? Is an even GREATER pullback in the spot price of precious metals coming this week? And what does the recent announcement by President Xi of China mean for the Chinese renminbi, the US dollar's global reserve status, and the long-term price of silver and gold? These are unprecedented times requiring us to stack precious metals. Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency. Make sure you build a stack of silver rounds, silver bars, silver coins, and gold coins as essential barter and wealth preservation!
