SILVER Crashed 32% , Why This Is Where Most Investors Lose Control
Silver did not drift lower; it collapsed. On the Living Your Greatness podcast, Ben and I break down what a sudden 32% drop in silver really means, and why moves like this tend to do the most emotional damage to investors. We talk through how people typically react in real time during these moments, and why that reaction often leads to poor decisions right when clarity is needed most.
During our conversation, Ben challenges me on whether this type of selling is a warning sign or a classic shakeout, how silver compares to gold in this environment, and what the charts are actually signaling beneath the headlines. We also dig into crowd psychology, panic cycles, and why violent price moves tend to show up when investors feel least prepared, making discipline and experience far more important than predictions.
