He talks about "silver" but its not "silver" we need to buy and hold, its in hand, shiny, physical silver we need to buy and hold.

I am not sure if buying SLV at any point is the play. It may come into play at some point for a short squeeze, or to force SLV to be turned into physical silver delivery (which can't be done), but that is not the play yet, and likely won't be until after GME has run its course.

Right now the play is physical silver. Buy it, hold it, and don't worry about the stock price. That is irrelevant to physical silver. They will likely drive SLV down as a psy op to stop people buying physical as "too expensive." They REALLY don't want us buying up all the real stuff, with real intrinsic value. That has been their main source of power in America for over 100 years.
