Unprecedented investor interest in silver has continued through the weekend, spilling into the physical market with many bullion dealers unable to keep up with the demand.

After creating massive short-squeezes in stocks like Gamestop, Blackberry and AMC, retail investors mobilized over social media started to focus on the silver market. Reddit's Wall Street Bets has been one of the leaders of the organized mob with its subreddit discussion: 'The biggest short squeeze in the world $SLV Silver $25 to 1000$.'

The mobilization of retail investors in the silver market has created an impressive move for the precious metal. March silver futures prices ended Friday around $27 an ounce, for a 5% gain.

In anticipation of a massive open Sunday evening, retail investors have been busy buying physical bullion over the weekend. Many bullion dealers have had to stop processing online orders because of the unprecedented demand, in the face of price uncertainty.

APMEX, JM Bullion, and SD Bullion are all out of available silver at the moment.

So if anyone wonders if @wallstreetbets (#Reddit) has the ability to impact the #silver market, the dealers running out, & 34 million $SLV shares being added on Friday are the answers that matter.

Physical Silver is running about $36.00 an ounce here in MInnesota. Which is highway robbery. I was going to buy some and it was overpriced already. $31.00 plus another 6 bucks over spot. Try to sell it and they want $5.00 below spot.

Stupid

I don't do silver dollars. I prefer 90% US silver coins. They had none in stock.

I bought me a 100 Oz silver bar last year at about 19/oz, including commission. No plans to sell.

Considering that the cost of a 2x4 tripled in the last year, I would say let that silver ride a while. You might be a millionaire by the end of the year.

I have no idea if the "junk" silver stock has dried-up like the rest of Ag has.

Let us know if you find any.

Apmex has some but they charge state sales tax.

Never heard of that, maybe they're in a deep, deep, blue state.

States are forcing dealers to charge sales taxes. But silver and gold should be exempt.

Correct, it's a trade, not a sale. Just found this new to me site:
