You Need THIS MUCH Silver To Be In The Top 1% / 5% / 20% Of All Stackers! A Full Breakdown 

Great video. My wife and I started stacking in the summer of 2020. Our first goal was 100 ounces. Then we set sights on 500 ounces. We stopped counting ounces after stacking #1,000 last summer. I budget buying ten ounces per week or more if the spot price is tanking. Keep stacking my Friends. The future of money is silver and gold.

This was very interesting! I never would have guessed that I was in the top 1% of much of anything, but here we are. I would love to see the breakdown for gold too, please. Thank you!

Started stacking in 1999. Haven't recounted my total for a few years but according to this video I'm easily in the 1%. Feels good man.

Holy cow, I've never been in the top 1% of anything. 😆 Top 1% of silver stackers is a good place to be. Thanks, you have made my day.

Sweet ! My stack would place me, my wife, my 2 kids, and my 2 dogs, each of us in the 1% club. My wife insisted that I stop stacking silver 20 years ago when I surpassed my body weight of 200 lbs, she said if we have to bug out I couldn't carry that much weight around. But I can't pass up a good deal now and again so it has grown to about 4,000 troy since then. I am working on a 2nd Kilo of Gold though, keep on stacking !

I stacked 520oz but had to liquidate due to having a recent surgery. Came in handy. Currently I have 350oz and stacking.

I bought my first bit of silver at the end of October. I felt like I was pretty late to the party. This definitely boosted my spirit a bit. I'm already on the list, barely but I'm there.

Interesting as others have also noted. I never made more than $50K/yr, even with my wife's pay check added in. But equally divided between kids, wife and myself, my holding puts us all in that 1%. However, I always considered it more valuable to take one's full monetary worth (minus housing) and figure what percentage of that total you have in precious metals. I'm a little less than 1/3rd%. None of it was as investment to gain wealth but rather to try and protect a little of my savings for when the SHTF.

I purchased my first ounce in November of last year, just this Saturday I calculated all of the silver up and I now have over 55 oz! To learn that I am in the top 20% of silver stackers while personally thinking I was in the bottom 10% is really reassuring to me. I didn't even think that I had that much, but seeing all of these numbers in context really makes me rethink my journey. I know millions would kill to own as much silver as I do now, and I find it insane that I personally own this much as well! My goal is by the end of next year to be in the top 5%, and maybe top 20% of gold stackers as well, hopefully that number is pretty low itself!

Holy Moses I just hit 3015 ounces and my wife said we got enough. According to your video you make us way up in the highest bracket by 6X over. Wow. All I did was buy about 10 ozs a week and just whatever was on sale. Did about half in rounds and half in 10 oz bars. We have no 401K our metals are our savings. When wife said no more silver I started on fractional platinum, mostly 1/10th oz Britannias but just hit 2 ozs on those. Don't trust stocks or paper money as they can be worthless in a split second. ... God bless and thanks for the video

I never thought much about the amount of silver bullion I accrued over the past 18 years. So, I weighed it up and it comes to 1214 and 1/2 ounces. It sure adds up over time. What's amazing is I don't recall having strained my regular lifestyle budget. (No frills).. 😁

I am so proud to be a part of this particular club of 1%, never dreamed of being in it and when i did i had no idea i would.

Great video. Yay I am in the one percent X a lot. I am simply a retail worker who stacked continuously since 2013. The data you presented makes me feel very good about my personal circumstances.

I don't know if this is based on a comment I left quite awhile ago, but I'm glad you made this video. I trust your analysis over anything I've found online. Based on your numbers, I fall in the top 2% - 3%, but my stack grows every week. Well done!

I initially decided to stop stacking silver at 200 oz. However, I keep adding here and there when I can reduce my average cost. I am currently at 995 oz

Just started stacking 4 weeks ago and I already made it to the top 5% and more than half way to the 1% mark. Thanks for the analysis

Very interesting - so I am in the top 1% 😆 would love to see the gold video and a video about how people use presious metals in countries with run away inflation or during the Great Depression.

According to your analysis I would fit into the .01%, Since becoming debt free I have put a large portion of my wealth into physical silver, been stacking physical silver since 2002, just from what I inherited from my father put me in the 1% bracket, I stack silver because I have a super low tolerance for counter party risk, one of the best videos I have watched in a long time thank you

Most interesting report. I have stacked silver and gold continually since 2008. I purchase my silver on pull backs rather than chase it higher. It is amazing that only 10% of the population actually own any silver. It is a tiny market. I record all my purchases of metals and mark each transaction and the date to give me some peace of mind. I am in the thousands. NOW, l still hope in my lifetime for a major move UP in the price. There is no reason why silver's current should not be in the $50.00 to $75.00 range if it were not for the paper markets.

I started “stacking” right after last spring. I now have 168 oz. I just started watching the video so I am interested to see what percentage group I’ll be in. I have spread the “stacking” lifestyle to about 7 friends, my father, my sister, and several neighbors. It feels good to empower and teach others about God’s money.

I've been a gold and silver stacker for some time. When the price goes up I stop buying. As the price drops I purchase in batches because I have no way of knowing what the bottom will be. Price dips don't discourage me.....just the opposite. I'm in it for the long haul. I just discovered your channel today and watched a few of your older videos. You have good content, and gained another sub.

This was very interesting. I’m glad to know I’m in the 20%. But this has given me a new goal. I was intending on 100 ounces per family member. That will put me in that 1%. Thanks for the info. Great show as always.

It’s obvious you spend an incredible amount of time calculating, researching,creating spread sheets,etc. I appreciate how you come to your numbers taking into consideration the common person. Would you consider doing an updated version of this video for current times as things have changed ( in my opinion) so drastically in the past months, weeks, days. Super grateful, Dierdre

It's interesting to know that there's not enough silver for each person in the world to own 1 oz.😮 I'm in the club... Feels good!

I thought myself a casual stacker, picking up 10-20 oz every couple months. I just liked the look and feel, along with the ability to not go into debt trying to pick up gold - not to mention the rather intimidating markup fees. According to your calculations, it seems I may have inadvertently acquired more than I thought was 'normal', for silver stacking that is.

Interesting breakdown of the numbers! This may be one of the few times that I am happy to be part of the 1%.

Slowly but surely, I’m making my way up there! I’m only sitting on 20oz, as of right now.

Just crossed over the 1,000 ounce threshold in silver.

Cool video! I wish you would’ve added another category at the top for top 1/10 of the one percent (.001%). I feel like many of us on here just absolutely crush the 500 ozt mark. Would love to see this analysis for gold, BTC and ETH as well. Again, great video and you earned a new subscriber today! 😊

Man you Made my day! I thought I was an average silver guy. That would put me and many others in a much smaller percentage of that 1%

I stack silver and gold in several different forms; such as jewelry, silverware, junk silver, 9999 fine silver as well as 9999 gold. Each of these items has different value and can be applied in many SHTF situations. I have also been acquiring copper, lead, aluminum and tin (I have a crucible and melt down the metals into bars).

Good video.. Silver is money and needed for protection against the dying dollar.. Silver Is Money..

First time I have ever been in the top 1% of anything. Thanks for the info.

I started stacking back in November 2022 and now use part of each month's savings to stack silver. I have a degree in Mathematics with graduate studies in theoretic statistics so I really enjoyed your analysis. Translating theory to practical estimates provides great (and for me enjoyable) challenges. (grin) Thanks! 🤠

I began accumulating silver in 2021 and felt like I was significantly lagging behind. It's astonishing to discover that I am part of the top 1%.

It's a year later, Gold is around 2K and Silver is about 23.50, I'd love to see a current breakdown. Ty for the video and your time spent researching it.

I just started stacking a few months ago and I'm at over 50 ounces so I guess that's a good start. I will feel a whole lot more solid when I have hundreds of ounces of Silver and maybe 20 ounces of Gold. I'm sure this will take many years.

Very interesting information. I knew I had a decent amount of silver but I did not think that I would be that high on the chart. Another 20 ounces and I will be in the top 1%

I love your calculations... or more specifically, I love where I rate in your calculations. Thank you for the amazing info! Be Blessed

Normally I'd never join a club that would allow someone like me to join, but in this case, I'm happy to be in the 1% club plus a bit more. I've been collecting silver bullion, silver dollars, bars, junk, sterling flatware since 1966. I sold quite a bit during the 1980 panic and bought a ton of it when it was $3 ozt. I've been selling off my numismatic stabbed coins and buying metals, because when the reset occurs, Int nobody gonna pay a premium for rare coins. Value will be based on the metal.

Let's see a breakdown to the top 0.01%. I think many of us easily hit the top 1%

I guess I didn't realize that getting to the top 1% was that easy! I would certainly like to see a breakdown of that 1%!

Always worth a listen. Often worth 3x a listen .... to really get the full juice. Great content, educational and the timing could not be better. Kudos.

I love your content!! I was amazed to see that I ranked higher than I thought I would've. I still don't have much - and plan on acquiring more - but even more than security and investment, I find stacking relaxing, in party because it's reassuring, but also because the people who are into it are very interesting.

Thanks for the info. I had no idea that I was in the 1%. I started stacking a years ago as part of my prepping. I purchased most during Black Friday sales at or below spot. Most was junk silver, for prepping purposes, and today the premium on junk was $9.25 per oz. Silver is a long term investment but and has paid off very well over the years.

Good info. Good methodology. I had no idea I was in the top 1%. A video like this for gold would be great, too.

I'll take the top 5%. Thought my stack was quite modest but based on this calculation, being in the top 5% makes me feel better even though I've had to take a break over the past year for personal reasons. I WOULD however be interested in this same video but on gold!

Wow....I am a WAGE earner, at the bottom of the economic ladder, without debt or children.....and thankfully to Chris Duane....I am in the area of the top 15% crowd. I didn't understand how much I had stacked, this is very informative and I will likely watch more of your videos.

A very interesting analysis. I own more physical silver bullion than your calculated estimate for the top 1%. It does not seem that difficult to achieve. Given a choice between a recreational vehicle parked in the front and silver bullion, I choose silver bullion. Mining professor Simon Michaux posits that silver will be in very short supply in the future. Financial tools or "manipulation" will not fix supply constraints. It would be interesting to see what the distribution is on gold.

I really enjoyed this video. I set a goal 5 years ago to aquire 1000 oz. Figure I'll be there around Christmas. I already have a new goal and am content with the prices being held down. I need more!

Great analysis!

Didn’t think I would have made the top 20% but actually I’m near the top of that group makes me feel better about the little bit I pick up when ever I can a few ounces every month add up Thanks for putting this together

Interesting math. Each time you cut the fraction of people in a level by 4 or 5, the amount of silver to reach that level goes up by about three: 50 oz, 150 oz, 450 oz. So the top 0.20% would require about 1350 oz, the top .05% would require about 4000 oz, and the top .01% would require about 12000 ounces. If there are about 300 million stackers worldwide, there are about 30 thousand people in that top .01% level. To be among the top 300 stackers (one in a million) you would need to have about 100 thousand ounces. That's 100 good delivery bars, or 20 Comex contracts.

Would love a video where you include constitutional in the total amount of calculated silver that exists for private ownership. I have a feeling it would make a significant difference to these calculations.

I think you're accurate with those numbers. My goal was to own enough silver so I could sell off in increments and not have to wait for silver to reach its all time high. The way things are going I'm not sure that's going to happen. What I mean is the government could-- at any time-- claim force majeure related to national security. In the past the government made gold illegal to sell, so there is a precedent. There are two things one shouldn't underestimate- human stupidity and people with bad intentions. I have a little over 500 oz in various weights and four monster boxes safely tucked away. Not sure where that puts me in the 1%.

Reasonable brake down! Good job. Plus I happily realized that I am way more invested that than the 1% threshold

Good video! I love it when people really break things down.

Your analysis is a good ball park. Yes I would like to see gold, platinum, and Bitcoin . I'm in the 1% silver club.

I recently counted up my ounces not too long ago and looks like I am just into that top 1%! I guess that’s not too bad before hitting 30 years old. I’m only going to keep stacking more 😁

Do more of these for sure. It's good to know where you stand with statistical breakdowns like this. Thank you!

I am glad you did this and would like to see the same for gold and platinum

Thanks for giving out this bit of information. I was surprised to see I made the top 1%. I have often wondered how my stacking measured up to others. Was I to low or what. I will continue to stack and stay up in the 1%.

Excellent video and data explanation. I'm in the 5% club working hard to make it into the 1% ! You've given me more drive to claim it ! :)

Great video. I just realized I'm in the 1% club. Thanks

This is a good video for us stackers. You are always curious about how you "stack up" against others but hard to do on a topic most folks don't divulge details on. I would be curious to have the same breakdown for USA only.

Stacking for 10 years, definitely surpassed the 1 percent marker a long time ago. I originally thought I was way lower than that.

If these numbers our any way close this was a great video.

I’ve been stacking since my early 20s. I’m turning 60 on my next Birthday. I have around 4500 ounces. I remember when I was buying a roll of silver eagles for 135 a Roll . Keep Stacking.

I'm curious about gold in regards to how much more of a percentage nation's and corporations hold compared to silver.

Would love to see this same type of analysis for Gold- Bitcoin- and Ethereum. Could you extend the analysis to the top .5%????? Greatly appreciated.

Definitely interesting; Glad I am a 1%-er of something!I also would be interested in the analysis for gold ownership because of some obvious shifts to different cultures who have a bias for gold.

Wow. Top 1%, and I just started stacking two weeks ago! I saw a video about the (low) price of silver, and decided to jump in and take advantage.

Never imagined my stack would exceed the top 5% by 30 tp 50 troy, Gold would be an interesting comparison. thanks..

Thanks for gathering the data for this. Yes, another list of privately owned assets would be VERY welcomed. 1) Gold 2)Crypto 3)Land (Real Estate)

Methodology was solid. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this video and am now a sub. Thanks for the info! I’m just shy of 5%. Would have liked seeing 10% and 15%. Posting a spread sheet with your figures showing 1%-20% individually would be interesting. Also, a video doing just the U.S. or U.S. and Canada would be great as well.

Interesting, I started "stacking" in 2011 and have a bit over 1600 Toz. Most of my family think I am crazy (including financial advisors) but I will hold on for the long haul. A bit of gold in my mix too, but when Silver turns from a utility metal back to a precious metal it should exceed the percentage pace of gold IMO.

Great video! Thanks for putting this data together. I started silver stacking about a year and a half ago. I recently got a little more aggressive with my stacking because of the US currency devaluation, CBDC and recession which is all coming soon. I currently have 47 ounces and just ordered 10 more and will order another 10 ounces in a couple of days. My goal is to quickly reach 100 ounces, I was able to do this without affecting my household bills. Being in the 20% category makes me feel really good and gives me new motivation to keep stacking.

Great video! I have only been stacking for about 6 months and I am in the top 5%, wouldn’t have guessed that.

Sounds about right.. I'm almost in the 1%... Just 40 oz more till 400oz... Been stacking silver for about 4 years dcaing about 100oz per year... And 500oz is my goal... One I hit that, I'm just going to HODL it till 2030 - 2032 before selling anything.... I may slow down after july of this year and start buying 1oz to 1/2 gold and Platinum coins with a hold in mind of at least 3 oz platinum and 5oz gold.... One thing I do though is I do buy one slabbed /graded coin every quarter... Just to collect to pass on to the kids... But I love coins that have anything to do with Native Americans indigenous people of North America, so I don't have anything like this yet other than silver rounds.... But coin wise I would love to get one of every year coin that has something to do with that..... Other than these physical assets I've mentioned above I do own bitcoin (Dca into from 2015 - 2019], but I just hodl that till 2030 as well... And I did start to DCA into Drd gold stock, like what they are doing there and quite recently I did purchase some shares of uranium mining company.... Other than that, I should mention that everytime I get rounds I always get something different every time so there's tons of variety in my stack so when I go to travel the country and I RV and sell them off as I need to it may make it a bit easier for people who are actually collecting them if not I'll be happy just getting spot😂

It would be kinda cool to see a similar video about gold and platinum. I am proud to say I easily made the top 1%, but I've been stacking since 2008. If silver is ever fairly valued in my lifetime I will be a very wealthy man indeed. LOL. Liked and subbed. :)

I find it interesting that for less than $9K, at today's spot prices, someone could be in the top 1% of owning Ag bullion.

YOU ARE DOING GOOD WORK PLEASE CONTINUE

you made me count 773 in rounds and bars , not my morgans . Very helpful thank you .

Thank you for sharing such an interesting topic for metal holders. What makes me most curious is, how much an ounce of silver can escalate to combat forthcoming super inflation? Guess this can only occur when all Fiat currencies collapse, with the USD being the last mare got slaughtered? Man, that kind of world will be war zone for everyone!

i find it hard to believe that $8000 would put one in the top 1% of stacking Silver with is a main may people secure themselves financially. i would have expected that the top 20% would have thousands of ounces? but that's my gut math.

I'm hanging around the 800 oz level. I never thought I'd be a top 1%er! just hope it keeps climbing!

Oh yeah made it and then some, I never expected to be in the top 1% great feeling thanks Brother

A stacker is defined as someone who has much more than "a couple silver coins". I would define a stacker as someone with over a hundred ounces, unless they have just started out.

It's an interesting statistic that more than 1 in 10 adults own silver coins or bars in NA and EU. Certainly didn't think it'd be that many.

Started stacking 3 weeks ago. Plan on starting to sell and buying gold when the ratio drops to around 50:1. Sitting at 800ounces and continuing to buy more until the price breaks 30usd

This is likely the best break down of this question that can possibly be done given our incredibly hard it is to track silver quantities and possession

I get the feeling, in the US at least, that fewer persons are holding larger hoards than previously. The sense that many who were convinced that silver, which was selling for 20 bucks but soon to be worth $100, is evident to me. Having seen their 20 bucks become worth fifteen on a good day, I am confident that small holders are exiting the trendy hipness of being a certified “stacker” and investing in things with more stability and promise. But that’s just me. Thanks again for the analysis. ✌🏻🍻

Unbelievable that I already in the top 1%, the lady in Texas that bought 900 thousands ounces of silver must be in the top 0.000001%.

Thank you for your breakdown, I had no idea. I started in 2016 and it was not easy, but I have made it to the upper 5%. Run the opposite direction of a mob, like the analogy about a tsunami. All the water drains out and exposes fish, people run in to get the fish and get killed by the incoming wave.

My Friend I’m a numbers guy, my canned statement is “numbers don’t lie, people lie” this video is genius / next level thinking, I really enjoyed it I’m a very serious stacker and I greatly appreciate your info.

ps. I had a kilo of silver when I was a uni student, but later moved to investing in stocks and property. These days I've started including a tiny fraction of my NW in bullion simply because it has low correlation to stocks/property so helps with diversification. But even so, my only physical silver bullion is a 1oz 'dragon' bar I bought from Perth Min because it looks cute, and about 38 oz of silver sitting in the proof coins I've accumulated over the years. My recent move to start accumulating some silver, gold and platinum is via 'paper' bullion i.e. monthly purchases via Perth Mint's unallocated depository investments (the silver is physically sitting in Perth Mints storage (about 42 oz of silver so far) but gets used for their coin/bar production and replaced by new metal bought from local miners and processed). I use the unallocated depository as it has no shipping/insurance/storage cost and only has a 0.5% buy/sell spread from the 'spot' price (compared to ridiculous fabrication/shipping costs -eg. my 10 oz 'dragon' bar ended up costing about twice the spot price silver value!).

I'm in the 1% after stacking slow and steady every month since 2014 🤑🤑😊

I wanted you to keep going beyond 1%. Almost a decade ago, I was forced to sell off the majority of about 2,000 ounces. My goal was to have my own body weight, and I'm borderline obesse, LOL. I might've made it, if it hadn't been for an unexpected job loss. So, maybe at the time I was in the top 0.1%? Anyway, it served its purpose and got me through a rough patch of life's road. I didn't lose too much money. But, I doubt I'll ever have a stack like that again. I'm old. Wish I had backed up the truck between 1981 and 2010.

Very nice. I really liked your breakdown of all three bands or strands. Thank you
