The SPC Silver Guide: How to Invest Ahead of the Looming "Supply Squeeze"

We’re following the “Commodity Shortfall” storyline for one good reason: We see massive long-term “supply deficits” looming across many key commodities — including copper, lithium, nickel, and palladium.

It’s an “Econ 101” dynamic: If long-term supplies fall short of demand (which is growing, in most cases), you’re looking at a stretch of sticky, higher prices.

And one of those Econ 101 lesson is playing out in real time with silver.

The Silver Institute projects 2025 will be the fifth consecutive year where supply can’t keep up with demand, because there are more ways to use the metal than ever before.

And demand for silver as a retail investment also is projected to climb as folks look for a safe haven from economic and global uncertainty.

So if silver supplies can’t keep up with demand from all these different sources, shrewd, forward-thinking investors like you can be the beneficiary.

That’s why, since the launch of Stock Picker’s Corner (SPC), Chief Stock Picker Bill Patalon has collaborated closely with metals-and-mining expert Peter Krauth. Peter is the author of The Great Silver Bull , the publisher of the Silver Stock Investor newsletter and a longtime colleague of Bill’s.

And Peter ardently believes a multitude of forces and events will send silver to $300 an ounce — nearly a 10X jump in five short years.

So for all the folks who are new to the world of silver investing, we created this guide as a starting point for your research. While we positioned this as an “introductory” guide, the fact is that our research is deep enough and current enough for any metals investors to benefit.

We’’ll start things off with “The Why” behind the investment case for the “white metal,” as it will reinforce why Peter’s projection carries real weight.
