A new car in 1980 was about $7,200, and today they are about $50,000. So if you divide $50,000 by $7200, it comes out to about a factor of seven times more in today’s money.
So seven times the old $50 1980 high, would be $350/oz Silver on the next silver all time high, with todays money.
Most recently, in October 2025, the silver price rose above $50 per troy ounce. Silver had already reached this level in 1980 and then again in 2011. On both occasions, this was followed by a prolonged decline in prices. Some investors are therefore wondering whether such a decline is looming again. To answer this question, let us first take a closer look at the situation at that time.
However, this raises the next question: What were the peak prices back then? Because for 1980, this is anything but clear. This has now sparked further discussion. Let’s examine these questions using databases and contemporary accounts and take a closer look at the circumstances surrounding previous silver highs.

Gold just experienced the largest weekly outflow in recorded history, a staggering $7.5 billion withdrawal that has sent shockwaves through financial markets and triggered panic among weak-handed gold investors.
The financial media has seized upon this headline as proof that the gold bull market is over, that the rally was a speculative bubble, and that the smart money is getting out. They could not be more wrong.
This is not the end of the bull market. This is a classic psychological operation designed to shake out retail investors, a manufactured panic that is ultimately transferring gold from weak western retail hands to strong Asian hands and western bankers.
And most importantly, it is a historical parallel to 1973 that suggests the real, explosive phase of the gold bull market is just beginning.
The chart above shows the magnitude of the recent outflow, a waterfall event that dwarfs any previous withdrawal. On the surface, it appears terrifying. But the context reveals a story of incredible underlying strength.
Despite this historic $7.5 billion outflow, gold still managed to close the month above the critical psychological level of $4,000 per ounce.
This is not a sign of weakness; it is a testament to the immense and unyielding demand that is quietly absorbing every ounce that the weak hands are willing to sell.
None of the fundamental drivers of this bull market have changed. The global debt crisis is accelerating, geopolitical risks are intensifying, and the de-dollarization movement is gaining momentum.
The reasons to own gold have not diminished; they have grown stronger despite this selling pressure.
So, what is this outflow really about? It is about profit-taking by short-term speculators and, more importantly, a psychological operation designed to create fear and doubt in the minds of average investors.
This is how bull markets climb the proverbial “wall of worry.” They require periodic, violent shakeouts to clear out the speculative froth and create a new base for the next leg higher.
The goal of this shakeout is to convince you that you are late to the party, that the move is over, and that you should wait for a better entry point. But by the time that “better” entry point arrives, the price will likely be thousands of dollars higher.
