hey everyone welcome to my channel and welcome back to my subscribers this is bald guy money i am bald guy and today we are responding to a question i received from a viewer who calls himself max strength holistics and we're going to cover his face because we don't wish him any ill will we welcome free speech we welcome criticism and questions and what he said when referring to silver is that it hasn't gone up in over 10 years so i pulled up a chart covering the time frame that he referred to and asked


myself the questions is he right is this the correct way to look at silver and what is he missing or what am i missing so be sure to watch this video to the very end because when it comes to this top 10 global asset class and yes silver is a top 10 global asset we are going to get very technical as always this is not financial advice and please take a moment right now to drop a like that like tells the algorithm you think this content should reach more people and you've all been very supportive the community has been


very supportive lately and my content has been getting out there reaching new people our community is growing and i want to thank you all it's because of the likes you're dropping and i'm hoping i can count on you for this video to do the same thing now getting to the point of the video and what i want to say to new and experienced stackers alike is this no matter what you're buying especially when it comes to precious metals there's going to be no shortage of people who are going to criticize you and let me


know in the comments actually if you've met with some criticism if somebody's taken a shot at you for stacking precious metals recently because to be honest i'm hearing it a lot right now and that's just probably where we're at in the 21st century everybody's got an opinion and it's amplified by the advent of the internet but i'm not saying that the person who left us this comment is being unfair in fact i think for the most part he was very respectful and asks a valid question and


this is where my job comes in because picking two points on a graph and saying point proven is not the correct way to actually evaluate an investment or a savings vehicle because no matter what you invest in or what you save with there are going to be highs there are going to be lows and there are going to be blow-off tops like gold and silver stackers experienced back in 2011 and 2012 when there was a lot of interest in precious metals and a very tight supply and why it's important to talk about this is because it is


crucial to have a strategy and a plan in place when it comes to stacking precious metals everybody out there who has been watching my videos for a while knows i employ the dca strategy the dollar cost average strategy which means i set aside a certain amount of money and buy that amount every month or every quarter depending on how the market is developing i never buy when the price is running up and i try to time my buys when the price is actually going down and just before we get into the numbers i want to say


this be careful who it is you listen to out there especially when it comes to listening to people on youtube because there are a lot of malcontents pessimists who do stuff like this so here it is this is this is what these malcontents do and they'll pick charts that fit their narrative and it's never the same chart it's always changing and and they'll say things like oh take a look at oil over the last year you should have bought that you know i i didn't i tell you so or silver is a


horrible investment if you take a look at these two data points over the last 10 years it's actually done nothing and oh i hear this all the time especially when it comes to bitcoin oh the digital fake money is over here take a look how far it is from the all-time high and even if you look in the deepest darkest corners of youtube you will also find people who will criticize the stock market especially right now on its way down and say oh look the stock market hasn't done anything over the last two years and that is because


they're cherry picking it's not honest and it's true that not all savings mechanisms or investments are good and you may disagree with me on a point or two that's perfectly normal that's what the comments section is for but picking two spots on a graph to prove your point is not analysis and you will miss a lot of opportunities along the way listening to people who do it that way because in my opinion it's simply a dishonest way a way of cherry-picking analysis in order to fit a narrative


that you like or that you have but to anyone who likes to use graphs that way right now i want to show you a better way how to do it a better way to evaluate the performance of an investment based on the dca strategy and let me know if you agree with this in the comments or if you see it differently because here it is done for silver so the first thing i do is i visit a site like macrotrends.net and i will link that up in the description of the video and this site offers historical pricing data on a


lot of things silver included and here's a log scale of the price of silver over the period they cover and what i want to note here is that although i can learn from these highs and lows that you see on the chart they are not the most important data points when assessing the value of an asset based on historic performance so what it is i'm looking for is if i scroll down a little bit on this page just under the graph you will see this and in my experience if you are investing in silver the right way by


dollar cost averaging which means of course buying the average price you should be more interested in this set of data which shows the average price over time versus getting carried away focusing on the annual high or the annual low because if we extrapolate data on silver for the last 10 years as our commenter has suggested we actually see this and instead of seeing it the wrong way at a 44 drop since 2012 we actually see that if we dollar cost average into silver buying the average price every year since 2012 we actually


today we would be sitting on a 5 nominal gain that said we do have to accept a difficult truth when it comes to silver and that is that it hasn't actually fully hedged against inflation over the last 10 years with its price going up by 5 in the example that i showed despite the fact that inflation has of course been much higher in fact it's been more than five percent just probably in the last three or four months and as i said that is a truth we have to accept but it does come with some


caveats so remember these rules for stacking and i'll show you exactly why in a second but here they are number one don't buy run-ups especially extreme run-ups and by looking at historic data and blow-off tops we can kind of begin to understand when these extreme run-ups are happening in order to avoid them number two try to focus on buying the dips i know sometimes psychologically this is difficult but when the price of something is coming down especially an asset that you have conviction for


the price coming down is usually a sign of an opportunity rather than something to be scared of and number three as i alluded to in point one use the price data i've shown you to choose your entry points and that way you will increase your chances of avoiding buying the tops and increase your chances of buying the bottoms or at least as close to the bottom as you're going to get nailing the bottom is really difficult and the reason it's important to follow these rules is yes silver did have a


blow off top back here in 2011 and 2012 so did gold and i have explained in past videos that a big part of that was due to the smart gadget revolution as well as increased stacking as a response to what was called qe2 or the first huge wave of modern governmental money printing but the main point i want you all to take out of this video especially when faced with criticism about your gold or silver stacking is that a lot of time passed between here and here and if you stack the right way i am confident you have at


least kept up with inflation and if you want to see a video detailing how to pick better entry points and avoid the bad entry points let me know right now in the comments and i will show you what metrics i look at when determining how much of my dca money i use at any given time and before i finish i just want to share this little bit of news with you all because it is very important for anybody stacking gold or silver take a look at it here it is my very good friend fellow stacker and real estate investor


philippe sent me the link to this article and it explains how countries in the east countries historically demonized by the west and often manipulated by the us dollar are developing an alternative a currency backed by a basket of different commodities and it's a very good read i will link it up in the description below for you to read but i want to say this it absolutely underlines the growing importance of investable commodities like silver like gold as a reaction to money printing and us dollar manipulation with that i thank


you all for watching that's it for this video make sure if you haven't hit the like button yet please drop me a like that does help this message get out there leave me a comment let me know what you think about this topic and if you have a personal strategy on how to maximize your gains when it comes to stacking precious metals that said thanks again for watching i do hope to see you in the next one everybody take care of yourselves adios
