I was talking about silver at $16. Im Buying Penny Stocks Now

Thanks to Mariusz Skonieczny for making this video highlighting the irony of mainstream finance influencers.

Graham Stephan, one of the biggest finance YouTubers with over 5 million subscribers, recently posted on X asking about alternative investments that could 5-10x in 10 years. He mentioned Pokemon cards, rare watches, and cars breaking records.

Ney Torres replied pointing to Oroco Resource Corp ($OCO / $ORRCF) - a copper mine in Mexico - noting the net present value multiples.

The irony? As Mariusz points out, these mainstream influencers would have dismissed penny stocks and small resource companies before. They’d talk about ETFs, index funds, and established investments while ignoring real opportunities in undervalued companies that actually solve problems.

Just as a side note, Mariusz waranties that the youtuber was probably not talking about silver at $14 (now aorund $100)… I was.

2020 when it was around $16. The same pattern applies: when something is cheap and ignored by the mainstream, that’s often when the opportunity is greatest. By the time the big YouTubers and influencers are talking about it, much of the move has already happened.

The lesson? Don’t wait for mainstream validation to find value.
