|---|---|---|---|---|
| JuanRojasG16 | Same scale. Same 30 years. Wildly different rides. For 25 years, $GLD gold and $SLV silver moved almost together. Then January 2026: silver up 2,239% since 1996, gold "only" 1,340%. Both have since given a chunk back — but even after the pullback, both sit over 1,000% up. | Neutral | Mon, 31 Aug 2026 23:48:02 GMT | https://x.com/JuanRojasG16/status/2094572955804008903 |
