It is typical for younger investors to hold riskier portfolios than older investors because the young typically rely more on income and less on financial wealth to support their consumption. During the accumulation stage of the portfolio, investors tend to take on riskier asset classes for the profit potential.
In case you haven't noticed, the premiums on 90% Junk Silver have been ridiculous lately.
Ridiculously low, that is.
Well below spot.
Even more ridiculous... no investors seem to be taking advantage of the fire sale.
And to be honest, we're a bit confounded.
Silver is back above $50 an oz., already signaling the end of the pullback that came at the heels of a massive rally. It's up a whopping 74% YTD.
Easily divisible, instantly recognizable, and highly liquid, junk silver has been a perennial favorite of ASI clients, but we're currently hearing crickets.
The surprising lack of demand means that investors are missing out on THE best opportunity in precious metals right now.
The silver spot price hit a record high of $54.48 on October 17, yet demand is expected to drop by 4-5% year-over-year. You see, investors have been selling their silver now that it's at all-time highs. Despite a small increase in demand for U.S. investors, retailers have had to contend with sizable retail investor liquidations in 2025.
But what investors are missing is the profit potential in silver.
Silver prices are showing no signs of a top, and the Gold-Silver Ratio (GSR) can indicate just how high prices will go.
Right now, the gold–silver ratio sits around 88 to 1 — down from over 100 to 1 earlier this year, but still historically high above 80. That means silver is undervalued compared to gold.
Here's why it's important: history shows that when the ratio begins to compress towards the end of a bull market cycle, silver tends to surge. If a typical high for the GSR is above 80 to 1, the historical lows of the ratio are between 30-50 to 1.
That means, even if gold stays at $4,000, silver could reach these levels before the end of this precious metals bull market:
50 to 1: $80/oz. Silver
40 to 1: $100/oz. Silver
30 to 1: $133/oz. Silver
That's INSANE potential, nearly doubling the current value of silver at a minimum.
If gold continues to rise (which is all but definite), silver's peak will be even higher.
I don't think the case for buying silver can be stated any clearer.

Think of precious metals in your IRA as the marathon runners of your portfolio—they're in it for the long haul, just like your retirement strategy.
You can even include precious metals like gold, silver, platinum and palladium in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
Self-directed IRAs make it possible—and, fun fact, we’ve been guiding clients through the precious metal maze since the IRS first gave the green light nearly 40 years ago.
Despite new signs that the government shutdown is nearing an end, investors reacted more strongly to signs of an economy in turmoil.
Evidence that the economy is weakening:
The good news is that weakness in the labor market is increasing investor speculation that the Fed may cut interest rates again next month. Lower interest rates are traditionally bullish for the gold market, making the yellow metal a more attractive alternate investment.
Which means the pullback in gold and silver—and the buying opportunity that comes with it—may be over soon.
Despite the pullback, gold ended October up 3.2% last month, adding to August and September gains. It’s up 52% this year.
And all signs point to a sustained gold bull market.
So don't miss out on gold at these price levels, just under $4,100 an ounce.
The turmoil is far from over.
And this time next year, we anticipate the gold spot price to be much, much higher.
