There's a fifth stage coming in the silver market that nobody's talking about—not the mainstream analysts, not the billion-dollar fund managers, and not even the people who lived through the 1980 Hunt Brothers squeeze when silver hit $50 and then crashed for forty years.

We've already completed stages one through four. Right now, in December 2025, we're sitting in the critical gap before stage five hits. And if the data is right, what's coming will make the 1980 squeeze look like a practice round.

In this video, I break down the complete pattern:

The Four Stages We've Already Completed:

    Stage 1: The 1999-2008 accumulation phase when nobody cared about silver
    Stage 2: The 2008-2011 financial crisis response and first major spike
    Stage 3: The 2020-2021 retail revolution and the Wall Street Bets phenomenon
    Stage 4: The current supply crisis that's happening right now

The Hunt Brothers Story—And Why Stage 5 Is Completely Different:
Everyone compares silver squeezes to 1980, but almost nobody understands what actually happened. The Hunt Brothers were two Texas billionaires who tried to corner the silver market using leverage and futures contracts. When the rules changed, they were forced to liquidate and silver crashed from $50 to $10 in eight weeks.

Stage five won't be two billionaires. It'll be millions of retail investors, hundreds of institutional funds, industrial users scrambling for supply, and a physical shortage that can't be manipulated away.
