After the 1940/1941 Gold/Silver top, silver continued to rise for about 40 years, whereas it continued to rise for about 20 years after the 1991 Gold/Silver top.

It has now been a little more than 5 years since the 2020 Gold/Silver top, and silver has continued to power higher from around $11.64.

Young people should especially take not of this great opportunity to potentially save in silver over the coming decades during what is likely to be the most productive (income producing) years of their careers.
