The Silver Institute: World Silver Survey 2025

The Silver Institute’s comprehensive World Silver Survey 2025 reveals another year of historic deficit for the white metal, marking the fifth consecutive year of supply shortages. The 92-page report shows the global silver market recorded a deficit of 148.9 million ounces in 2024 (down from 200.6 million ounces in 2023), with industrial demand reaching a new record high of 680.5 million ounces.

Key highlights include:

  • Silver prices averaged $28.27/oz in 2024, up 21% year-over-year and the highest since 2012
  • Industrial fabrication hit another all-time high, driven by solar panels, 5G technology, and automotive electronics
  • Global mine production rose modestly by 0.9% to 819.7 million ounces
  • Physical investment demand fell 22% as Western markets saw profit-taking, though India bucked the trend with a 21% increase

Looking ahead to 2025, the report forecasts continued market deficits (117.6 million ounces) with industrial demand remaining near record levels despite ongoing thrifting in solar applications. The persistent supply shortages, combined with macroeconomic uncertainty and expected U.S. rate cuts, suggest further price strength ahead, though silver may need to wait for above-ground stocks to shrink further before significantly outperforming gold.

The Dollar Milkshake Theory: What It Means for Gold, Silver, and Your Portfolio

You’ve probably heard Mike Maloney mention the dollar milkshake theory recently — and for good reason. This vivid metaphor captures one of the most important dynamics in global finance today.  Picture the U.S. dollar as a giant straw, sucking up capital and liquidity from around the world like a milkshake. As the world’s reserve currency, the dollar pulls money into the U.S. financial system during times of stress — often leaving other economies gasping for air.  What Is the Dollar Milkshake Theory?  Popularized by Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital, the theory explains a dangerous paradox. When global uncertainty rises, investors

Bitcoin vs. Gold: What Really Counts as Money?

Alan Hibbard recently tackled some of the toughest questions our community has about Bitcoin, gold, and silver. In this thought-provoking video, he explores whether Bitcoin is truly money, why companies abandoned it as a payment method, and how it compares to the time-tested value of gold and silver. Below are some of the key takeaways from his analysis.  Bitcoin: Commodity, Currency, or Store of Value?  One viewer argued that Bitcoin can’t be a commodity because it isn’t on the periodic table of elements. Alan quickly counters: plenty of commodities aren’t elements — think lumber, corn, or soybeans. By market definition,

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
