Precious metals are not a get rich quick skeem. They are not stocks they are a way to protect against inflation, or save for years at a time. You can not predict the market.
The rescission happened in 2008 (when you zoomers where poo poo pee peeing into your diapers) and silver peeked in 2011, gold in 2012. 3 and 4 years after the worst down turn since the Great Depression. 100 a ounce silver will never happen in your lifetime if it does it will last a few days due to market fuckery.
