🪙 How to Get Free Ounces of Precious Metals Without Spending Another Dime...Really

Hi there real money tribe,

Most people think the only way to grow their precious metals stack is by simply buying more. Heading down to your local coin dealer or shopping online are fun, and believe me I am a huge proponent of trading in fiat dollars for phyiscal gold and silver. But what if I told you there’s a way to grow your ounces — for free — just by taking advantage of something called the current Gold-to-Silver Ratio (GSR)?

Right now, we’re in a rare moment where the GSR is offering a big opportunity for those paying attention. With gold prices soaring at all-time-highs, many people are being introduced to precious metals for the first time and wondering whether to buy gold (which is so expensive) or silver (which is more affordable). But here’s the thing — there’s another way to take advantage of precious metals that doesn’t always require swapping fiat dollars for them.

🤔 What’s the GSR?

The Gold-to-Silver Ratio (GSR) simply tells you how many ounces of silver it takes to equal the price of one ounce of gold. For example:

• Gold is about $4,636 CAD

• And silver is about $45.66 CAD

Therefore the ratio is:$4,636 ÷ $45.66 ≈ 101.5

That means it takes 101.5 ounces of silver to equal 1 ounce of gold.

📈 Why This Opportunity Exists

The reason this is possible is because gold has already surged, while silver hasn’t broken out yet. The current GSR of over 100:1 suggests that silver is undervalued relative to gold. Savvy metals holders know this is the time to swap gold into silver (some or all) — and later, when the GSR tightens, they can swap silver back into gold, gaining ounces for free. It's not just about holding precious metals; it's about having a plan to increase your holdings when the market shifts.

🍷 vs 🍺 Imagine This: Fine Wine vs. Craft Beer

Let’s say you typically spend 5 times more on a bottle of fine wine than you would on a six-pack of craft beer. But one day, you notice that the wine is still expensive, but the craft beer is suddenly 1/10th its usual price.

Wouldn’t it make sense to stock up on the craft beer while it’s so affordable, even though you still appreciate the fine wine and eventually want it?

The GSR works similarly: gold is like the fine wine, and silver is like the craft beer. Both are valuable and desirable, but right now, silver (craft beer) is significantly undervalued historically compared to gold (fine wine). By swapping your gold for silver, you’re getting more value and metal ounces for the same amount of money. Then, when the silver price rises and the GSR tightens back to a normal ratio, you can swap ounces back into gold — just like you’d exchange your craft beer for fine wine when the price is more in line with your expectations.

🔁 OK, here's how it works

Let's say you have a 1oz gold coin or bar and its value in dollars is $4,636 CAD (today's price), and you waltz down to your favourite local coin dealer and mention that you want to swap it for silver, that swap/trade would be for:

• 101 ounces of silver

You would walk out with over 100x more ounces of physical metal — for the same dollar value. It's like cheating but it's not. By the way, you can choose any kind of silver be it bullion (domestic, foreign), generic rounds, 1oz coins, 10oz bars, even some kilos...whatever!

🌍 What Happens Next?

Let’s say some time passes and silver rises in value and the GSR drops to 50:1. You could then reverse the trade:

• Your 101 ounces of silver are now worth $9,363 CAD

• Gold is still around $4,636 CAD, so you could trade that silver for:

2 ounces of gold, value $9,272 CAD (2 x $4,636).

Remember, you started with 1 ounce of gold, and now you have 2 ounces of gold. You’ve just doubled your gold weight — without spending another dime. That’s the power of understanding and using the Gold-to-Silver Ratio to your advantage— and thinking like a strategist, not just a saver.

For most people either just getting started into precious metals or I've seen it with those experiences stackers, they often don't think of this. Just like investing in the stock market, the energy goes into picking and choosing which ones to buy - an entry strategy - but they often never consider what to do if the price shoots up - an exit strategy. I find the same with precious metals as any people do a lot of upfront research — deciding what to purchase (gold? silver? both?, how much of what to buy, what kinds, at what prices, etc.But they often neglect to think about what to do if the price goes up — like gold is doing right now, and what silver could do in the future. What if gold keeps rising, and they don't have a plan for taking advantage of it? What if silver shoots the moon and the GSR closes to 50:1...but only for a week...which can and has happened with silver.

This is where having a personalized Precious Metals Wealth Plan can be a blessing and a necessity. A plan that includes not only a customized acquisition strategy, but also a swapping and/or selling strategy which can give you an edge by systematically building wealth in ounces. Ask yourself, when was the last time your financial planner included a selling strategy in your plan - likely never, as they want your dollars for as long as possible in order to make money from you - so, is this in your best interest? With your own Precious Metals Wealth Plan it's like having a roadmap for your metals, rather than just a ‘buy and hope for the best’ strategy.

In Summary

• Gold is expensive. Silver is cheap.

• The GSR is over 100:1, a rare setup.

• You can grow your ounces without spending more by using a smart swap strategy.

• Silver is historically volatile — but when it moves, it moves big.

• And having a precious metals plan that includes buying, swapping, and selling when the market calls for it is crucial to growing your stack strategically, not just blindly holding.
