For six months starting in 1997, Berkshire Hathaway kept buying until it held 129.7 million ounces, a quarter of that year's entire global mine output for about $680 million. Today, silver trades near $65 an ounce. That same stack would be worth roughly $8.4 billion. One buyer absorbed a quarter of a year's supply before the market ever knew.",
