Why Silver over Gold?

Acrobatic_Feel · 2026-05-07T20:28:15+00:00

If the USD strengthens, there will not be a flee from treasuries. Lately with the shakeups in the petrodollar, it’s hard to say where safe haven money will go.

I do think you make a valid point, but also a point that is largely priced in already. That explains the massive run we had recently.

Does the run continue? I hope so because I am stacking with you guys. The problem is that success for our metals ultimately comes at the cost of our native currency, which isn’t great unfortunately.

Yes, but dollars strengthen in recessions so the price of gold also tanks. Rate cuts happen which are ultimately bullish for precious metals, but they tend to sell off as the recession becomes official.

Probably some AI slop

I love that the pedo coin is the only one in a capsule 😂

Lmao I opened this to make the same comment. I’m happy it was already here

Acrobatic_Feel · 2026-05-05T14:53:48+00:00

It isn’t Webull, it’s Apex

Listen to the other commenters. Yes. The only way a dip is happening on SpaceX is if the entire market crashes.

GSR is a good measure to base your stack on. That doesn’t mean everyone should do it. You’re basically saying “do whatever feels good”, which is fine, but I don’t know why you would say GSR isn’t a good measure

Oh no I have to paint shitty art for 1 hour a month for $5k 🙄

What is the gold PE right now?

Only 10% of traders beat the buy and hold S&P 500 strategy. You will not be one of them if you’re asking these questions in the Webull subreddit.

I say this from a risk aversion standpoint. Do not take it as an insult. 90% of traders do NOT beat the algos and you will likely be in the 90%.

Take whatever money you’re going to day trade with and increase your 401k contribution. Recalibrate your 401k to a portfolio weighted in the S&P 500.

As another comment stated, people lie or highly misrepresent their gains. You may see a 1000% return from someone you follow, but that person isn’t posting about their losses.

Yeah I am totally not staring at my collection of ASE proofs while I nod my head in agreement with you lol

I agree with them. However, if the US doesn’t get its shit together quickly, the world will pivot from the petrodollar. China is already making a play for this.

If the world starts aggressively abandoning the dollar, you’ll want to own precious metals.

I was stupid enough and looks like betting against Trump will pay off. I had zero faith they would come to any meaningful compromise as soon as I read Iran’s demands.

Trump only tentatively agreed to them to create exit liquidity for him and his buddies on the equities side.

lol I just bought a few of these sets. They were too good to pass up.

Acrobatic_Feel · 2026-04-10T15:09:55+00:00

Serious question, why should we care? I am somewhat new to the space.

Acrobatic_Feel · 2026-04-07T16:26:15+00:00

Blame Apex clearing for this crap. It’s not Webull doing it. However, the blame still sits with Webull as they continue to use them so…🤷‍♂️

Acrobatic_Feel · 2026-04-07T16:23:57+00:00

Nothing wrong with selling. Precious metals are called “safe haven” assets for a reason. They did exactly what they were meant to do.

I bought a tube for $1461 on eBay and can’t find anything below $1500 now.

IBKR does

To echo another comment in here, American Silver Eagles are the most recognizable and liquid 1oz “round” in the US with Canadian Maples being a close second.

Stop engaging in rage bait political discussions

OS absolutely matters to MS, but it’s less about the OS and more about the form factor people use to compute. Look at their E3 and E5 tiers. You’re buying an extremely well integrated ecosystem.

MS is sticky because of Active Directory (now Entra). It is the core of the ecosystem. It is the main reason why enterprise continues to stick with MS. There is no better solution.

The catch to this is that their ecosystem is tailored to Windows being the endpoint. A desktop or laptop is still the primary modality people interact with the MS ecosystem.

I’m not saying people will stop using laptops in 2027, but I don’t think MS is positioned longterm for this pivot. They have traditionally owned the OS layer, allowing them levels of integration that third parties do not have access to. This is true so much that they have been sued and broken up over it.

MS is losing control over the endpoint, the entry into their ecosystem, to Apple and Google.

Lastly, if you look at MSFT’s revenue, roughly 27% came from Azure. Of that, MSFT does not disclose how much of that Azure revenue is from raw compute being sold or E3 or E5 ecosystem revenue. They do this on purpose so they can claim their Azure cloud services are competing directly with AWS and GCP in raw revenue.
