“TIME FOR POOR TO GET RICH. Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETF & Real Estate crashing. As PREDICTED Middle class being wiped out. Silver moving sidewards. Silver to stay at $20 for 3-5 years, then climb to $100 to $500. Everyone can afford silver even poor. Accumulate silver now,” the author said in his tweet.

What Happened: Recession fears led by aggressive rate hikes by central banks had been pushing commodity prices down over the last few months. After falling to over two-year lows in early September, silver prices were trading above the $19/Oz level.

Historical High: According to the Silver Institute, prices of silver bullion rose from $11 an ounce in September 1979 to $49.45 an ounce in January 1980 based on London PM Fix during the Hunt brothers’ accumulation of the commodity. Prices ultimately fell to below $11 an ounce two months later, it said.
