00:00Imagine the price of a precious metal rising by a whopping 2400% within a very short period of time.
00:07Your investment multiplies several times over.
00:11You are suddenly rich.
00:13And then, in a single day, everything collapses.
00:17What sounds like fiction actually happened.
00:20It is the true story of the greatest silver speculation of all time.
00:25So welcome back.
00:27Today we talk about the rise and fall of the Hand Brothers.
00:30A story about wealth, power, greed, and the most spectacular rise and crash of a precious metals market in modern history.
00:39What happened then could happen again today.
00:42And the lessons are indispensable for every precious metals investor.
00:46So let’s get started right away.
00:48Who were the Hand brothers?
00:49Nelson Banker Hand, born in 1926, and Wilhelm Herbert Hand, born in 1929, came from one of America's wealthiest dynasties.
00:59Her father, H.L. Hand, had built an oil empire and was at one time considered the richest man in the world.
01:05After his death, the two brothers inherited a fortune that most people can only dream of.
01:09The Hand Brothers were known for their conservative attitudes and were deeply skeptical of the American financial system.
01:15They firmly believed that the government would devalue the dollar and that paper money systems were doomed to failure.
01:23From today's perspective, they were only too right in their assumptions.
01:26The brothers were two billionaires with almost unlimited resources, convinced of the impending collapse of the financial system.
01:34So they came up with a plan that would change the global silver market forever.
01:39The beginning of silver speculation
01:41The story begins in the early 1970s, a time of economic turmoil.
01:47In 1971, Nixon abolished the gold standard of the US dollar.
01:51Inflation rose.
01:52The Hand Brothers were convinced that silver was drastically undervalued compared to gold.
01:57While gold was already recognized as a store of value, the price of silver hovered at around $2 per ounce.
02:03Hardly imaginable these days and for Hans it was an absolute undervaluation that they wanted to exploit.
02:09In 1973, they began systematically and on an unprecedented scale to short the silver market.
02:16They acquired not only physical silver but also futures contracts.
02:19With the aim of actually taking possession of the metal.
02:22A strategy that completely surprised the market.
02:25Let me explain it to you in more detail.
02:27The Hand Brothers' strategy includes several key elements.
02:291. Massive purchases
02:32They acquired approximately 150 million ounces of physical silver.
02:37That’s over 4,700 tons.
02:39And controlled another 200 million ounces through futures contracts.
02:43This meant they owned about a third of the world’s privately held silver.
02:47So an extreme amount.
02:492. Safe storage
02:51They distrusted the American government so much that they had their silver transported to Zurich and London in specially chartered cargo planes.
02:59Beyond the reach of American authorities.
03:02At this point they already owned so much silver that several cargo planes were needed.
03:073. Strategic partnerships
03:09They worked with wealthy businessmen from Saudi Arabia to further increase their purchasing power.
03:15These alliances allow them to buy even larger quantities of silver.
03:194. Leverage effects
03:21They used loans to finance their purchases and increase their market power.
03:26Thanks to their name and wealth, they received better credit conditions than other speculators.
03:31An advantage they took full advantage of.
03:34As a result, the price of silver rose from about $2 per ounce in 1973 to almost $50 in 1980.
03:42That's an increase of 2400%.
03:45The Hand Brothers’ investment was worth billions on paper.
03:49Imagine if you had invested just $10,000 in silver in 1973 and achieved the same return.
03:56Your investment would have grown to $250,000.
04:00The Hans had invested a thousand times over.
04:03Their profit was astronomical.
04:05He reached heights that are hard to imagine.
04:08But it didn’t stop there.
04:09The fall of the Hans brothers was imminent.
04:11And this one was going to be spectacular.
04:13Silver Thursday.
04:15The day everything collapsed.
04:18What the Hand Brothers did was not formally illegal.
04:21But it threatened to unbalance the entire precious metals trading system.
04:25American regulators watched developments in the silver market with growing concern.
04:30On January 7, 1980, the New York commodity exchanges Comex and the American commodity commission CFTC intervened.
04:37They introduced Silver Rule 7, which severely restricted the purchase of silver.
04:43Margin requirements on commodity futures contracts were increased to 100% and only sell orders were permitted.
04:49In other words, Hans's game was abruptly stopped by new regulations.
04:53As if that weren't enough, the brothers were even denied physical delivery of the silver they had legally purchased.
05:00The rules of the game were simply changed, depriving the brothers of their rightful possessions.
05:05The Hans still held steadfastly to their remaining positions.
05:09A fatal mistake.
05:10On March 27, 1980, the so-called Silver First Day, they received a margin call for $100 million, which they could not meet.
05:19Because this enormous sum was due immediately.
05:21And even as billionaires, the Hans couldn't raise it in the short term.
05:25Their assets were largely tied up in silver.
05:28A silver whose price was now in free fall.
05:30The price of silver plummeted from almost $50 to $10.80.
05:35A loss of over 75 percent within a very short time.
05:39Millions of investors who had bet on the rising price of silver were swept along.
05:43The panic also spread to other markets.
05:45Stocks fell and the price of gold fluctuated.
05:48A banking consortium provided the brothers with a $1.1 billion credit line.
05:52Not to save the brothers, but to prevent a complete collapse of the financial system.
05:57Nelson Banker-Dog, once one of the richest men in the world, filed for bankruptcy in 1988.
06:04His assets were largely destroyed.
06:06What does this mean for today's precious metal investors?
06:09The story of the brothers-dog contains valuable lessons for anyone investing in precious metals today.
06:14And in times of economic uncertainty, rising inflation and geopolitical tensions
06:18More and more people are turning to gold, silver and other precious metals.
06:23So what can we learn from this story?
06:241. Diversification is essential for survival.
06:28The Hans put everything on one card.
06:30That was her only mistake.
06:32What does your portfolio look like?
06:34Have you spread your assets across different investment types and thus diversified them?
06:382. Beware of leverage.
06:41Hans took out enormous loans, which accelerated its downfall when the market turned.
06:46I think it is very important to trade only with your own capital
06:49and always be aware that you can lose it in case of doubt.
06:53In today’s world where loans are easier to obtain and financial products are even easier
06:57to be leveraged, this warning is more important than ever.
07:003. Regulatory risks are real.
07:02Regulators can intervene at any time and change the rules of the game.
07:06Even today, governments can use trade bans, export restrictions or new tax laws
07:12influence the market.
07:13Today's relevance.
07:15Why is the story of the Hand brothers still relevant today, more than 40 years later?
07:19Because the basic mechanisms of markets and human psychology
07:22have not changed.
07:23The hand’s silver speculation led to important regulatory changes, such as
07:28the introduction of position limits to prevent a single entity
07:32can dominate the market.
07:33But are these rules really sufficient to prevent a recurrence?
07:37In a globalized world with electronic trading systems, algorithmic trading and
07:41new financial instruments, the possibilities for market manipulation are perhaps even
07:45bigger than in the days of the Hands.
07:47The markets are more interconnected, the potential domino effects more dangerous.
07:51At the same time, we are repeatedly seeing signs of coordinated actions in various
07:55markets, such as the GameStop phenomenon on the stock markets.
07:59Conclusion and recommendations for action, although this is of course not investment advice
08:03is.
08:04So what can we take with us?
08:051.
08:06Treat precious metals as part of a diversified strategy.
08:09It is recommended to hold about 10-20% of your assets in precious metals.
08:132.
08:14Only invest money that you don’t need in the short term.
08:17Precious metals can be subject to strong price fluctuations.
08:193.
08:20Find out about the different investment options.
08:24From physical ownership to ETFs to mining participation.
08:27Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages.
08:30The story of the Hand Brothers is a timeless warning of the dangers, greed
08:34and the underestimation of regulatory risks.
08:36At the same time, it demonstrates the ongoing fascination with precious metals as tangible stores of value
08:41in an increasingly uncertain world.
08:44And it shows something else.
08:45At the beginning of the Hand Brothers’ work, the price of silver was $2 per ounce.
08:50Even after the spectacular crash, it was still at $10.
08:53That's still 5 times higher than at the beginning.
08:55And recently it has risen from 25 to 30 and now even over 35 dollars.
09:01And I personally think that it will continue to rise significantly.
09:03Yes, I would even go so far as to say that a price explosion like the one we experienced during the days of the Gebrüder Hand could occur.
09:10You can see exactly why and what price I consider realistic in this video.
