Social media Reddit investor crowd still have silver in their sights

Social media Reddit investor crowd still have silver in their sights   

Silver stackers ay that by buying up bars and coins, they can jack up prices by 100% or even 1,000%, to the point where they can call the shots against the so-called bullion banks, the large financial institutions which lead trade in precious metals. 

Kerry Kraker, 56, has worked in kitchens all his life. Since March he's spent about $100 (€85) a week – half his spare cash – on silver coins. 

He's part of a growing social media movement who say they are buying bars and coins for protection from a coming age of inflation.
