I’ve been covering the silver story here at WeLoveTrump for a couple weeks now because I find it fascinating.
It’s the continuation of the populist uprising that started in 2015 with President Trump and is now continuing and about to rock the financial markets.
Earlier today I brought you the story of iTrustCapital warning that significant premiums were being added to silver prices because of massive supply shortages.
That full article is below.
Now I just received another one.
From SD Bullion, I just received this:
Dear Valued SD Bullion Customer,
I wanted to take a moment to provide our customers an important update regarding our company and the state of the Precious Metals industry as a whole.
As you are likely aware, the precious metal market has received unprecedented demand. In the last week, we’ve seen a massive increase in demand for physical bullion, especially silver. The demand lift is somewhere around 20 times our normal order demand. Of course, the entire industry has felt this demand as well. In fact, Bloomberg TV invited me on last night for a live interview to discuss what is going on in physical bullion right now.
How this has impacted SD Bullion customers:
When your demand increases by twenty-fold over night, this creates a lot of stress on a company’s operations. At SD Bullion, we are “flexing” employees from non-essential jobs to jobs that will service you, the customer, as best as we can. This means we have a large percentage of our employees shipping orders, answering phone calls and responding to customer service tickets. Even with our best efforts, you may experience longer than normal hold times and shipping times. However, you can rest assured our teams are committed to working around the clock to service our customers to the best of our ability.
We have also noticed a lot of new customers are entering the physical bullion market for the first time ever. We are excited to see this. As bullion investors ourselves, we started SD Bullion to press forward the voice of sound money.
I want to give new investors and new customers a few links that will help you learn more about SD Bullion as well as the physical precious metals industry as a whole:
As a company, we remain steadfast in our mission to provide unmatched value and service moving forward. Whether you are a first time customer or a customer who has been with us since the very beginning, we thank you for your support of SD Bullion and look forward to being your go-to physical bullion dealer.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tyler Wall
CEO, SD Bullion
Wow.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you, ok?
That’s all I ask.
Silver about to go rocket ship?
Here is my full article from earlier today with much, much more…..
Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
I want to make clear I am not a financial advisor, do we all have that clear?
I’m just a guy who loves following what’s happening in the world, of course mostly those things that affect President Trump and our daily lives!
And yes, this is directly related to President Trump.
Beginning with President Trump’s famous ride down the escalator in 2015, a wave of populism was born (or released?) in the United States.
From that date and continuing to right now, that wave of populism continues to grow, wreaking havoc on the establishment politicians and political structure.
But then a very interesting thing happened a few weeks ago….
Via the Reddit “WallStBets”, a new wave of financial populism sprung up, starting to upend the financial system in the same way President Trump hit politics.
It started with GameStop, which I explained here.
Next it looks to be expanding into silver.
I told you about that here.
But now let’s advance the story…..
It’s one thing from NOAH from WeLoveTrump to warn you about this.
As I said, I’m just a regular guy, not a financial advisor.
So when I saw the message below today, I had to share it with you.
Take a look:
This is an IRA company where personally have an account, and i just saw that announcement when I logged on right now.
So I had to tell you about it.
When you click the “Learn more” button to find out what’s going on with Silver, here’s what it says:
Physical Silver & Gold vs Paper
Over the last week, the biggest financial news story in the world is about how a Reddit trading group, wallstreetbets, is taking on Wall Street. You may have been living under a rock to have not heard about recent market events.
The same group that took credit for short squeezing stocks like GameStop and AMC made a post about Silver. That post was all it took to get the investment world in a frenzy to start buying.
Many new to investing in Silver may not know that there is a big difference between holding paper silver and physical Silver.
The main question on everyone’s mind is Gold vs Paper Gold.
Paper Gold & Silver
Similar to fiat currency, most Paper Silver products are not backed 1 for 1 by the real thing and therefore can be sold with virtually an endless supply. Examples are Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), Exchange Traded Products (ETPs), Futures, Options, and more.
Investors generally use these types of products to speculate on short-term price fluctuations. While we all know investing in Gold and buying Gold is a wise decision, is it a wise decision to lean on Paper Gold ETFs?
Physical Gold & Silver
Like all things tangible, Physical Silver has to be sourced, from mining it out of the ground to manufacturing it into coins and bars to shipping it to depositories and investors. There are costs involved in each of these actions which need to be accounted for in the end price.
Investors who prefer physical options tend to have a mid to long term investment strategy. Some of the primary reasons given are wealth preservation, growth in value, and protection from a fiat currency collapse.
Understanding the Premium for Physical Silver
If you have bought investment grade physical precious metals of any kind, you likely have heard the spot price. It doesn’t matter if you are looking at Gold Bars, Gold Coins or even Gold Bullion. The Silver spot price is the universal cost of one ounce of that (Silver) precious metal in its raw form.
At the time of writing this article, the spot price for Silver is $28.32. You can see the 24-hour spot prices at kitco.com.
Again, if you want to know the price that Gold is trading in the Gold markets, you simply want to check the Gold spot price. If you want to find out the price that Silver is trading in the Silver markets, check the Silver spot price or even the silver futures price.
From the spot price, there is an amount charged over spot which is based on various factors.
Manufacturing: A coin has a higher cost to produce than a bar. A smaller coin or bar will cost more, as a percentage of the value, to manufacture than a larger coin or bar.
Supply & Demand: When there is a high demand for anything tangible, causing less available supply, the price will always go up.
*Many times there is a disconnect between the spot price and the physical price, causing premiums to increase at a faster rate than the spot price. (which we are seeing this today)What is a good price for Physical Gold & Silver?
When considering an investment in physical metals, one must always be aware of the spot price and how much over per ounce a product costs. Check with multiple reputable dealers online to verify that you are getting a competitive price.
For Silver, $2-3 over spot is the lowest price you will find during the best of times. Other times, like right now, it is hard to find even a 100-ounce common bullion bar for under $6 over spot. It’s best to not worry too much about comparing Silver Eagles vs Silver Bars, you just want to focus on it being genuine Silver.
Today, I see many of the most reputable dealers online sold out of almost all silver bullion products. The products they are selling are going for premiums 2-5x what they were going for only last week. While these premiums may come down, they arguably have an equal chance of going up further.
Do you think that central banks and the paper traded silver markets are scared that the world is waking up to Physical vs Paper Gold & Silver? We think so.

One of the biggest opportunities for investors to take advantage of is their retirement accounts. This provides immense tax benefits and savings that can allow investors to compound gains much quicker than with traditional taxable brokerage accounts.
We have specifically built our platform to allow investors to hold Physical Gold and Silver inside of their IRA / 401k with near-zero friction. You simply create an account, fund it, and then can trade 24/7. As mentioned above, we have transparent fees and even provide institutional-grade storage of precious metals.
iTrustCapital connects clients to Kitco’s VaultChain, which offers the Physical Gold & Silver bullion. If you haven’t started purchasing Gold & Silver within your retirement accounts, right now might be a good time to consider.
