Silver Sellers Eye Up Potential Silver Spikes

Expect the unexpected, when it comes to silver, and you could potentially reap the rewards of an unforeseen spike in prices. Recent events concerning the Reddit forum r/wallstreetbets have triggered a rush of cash into silver, and if repeated, anyone with a bit of silver could cash in.

See how the coming year ahead could be an ideal time for making a scrap silver sale with UK Scrap Gold. 

The Reddit silver surge

For many weeks, a group of Reddit users patiently began orchestrating buying stocks in an ailing games company, GameStop. In the blink of an eye, the idea went viral, and thousands of users flooded onto easily downloadable investment apps, buying up shares in order to squeeze hedge funds holding large short positions.

It wasn’t long before attention on Reddit turned to silver, another asset in which hedge funds have extensive short positions. In just three trading days, we saw silver prices rising by almost 20 per cent, an unusually large increase in such a short time frame. Typically, such moves are seen as part of multi-year bull markets.

The lack of prior warning for such a spike demonstrates why having a bit of silver could become incredibly useful – it’s all just a matter of timing a sale and finding the right buyer. UK Scrap Gold gives clear information on existing prices for silver, helping you spot key trends including price rallies. Check out Live Silver prices here.
