On March 27, 1980, silver lost half its value in a single day. Two Texas billionaires watched their fortune turn into debt. So who walked away richer? The Hunt brothers spent most of the 1970s buying silver: up to a third of all the silver available to trade in the world, flown to Swiss vaults on chartered 707s. By January 1980 the price had gone from $2 to nearly $50 an ounce. Then the exchange changed its own rules mid-game, banks were told to stop lending for speculation, and on Silver Thursday the whole bet collapsed. The twist: firms tied to the people who rewrote those rules were betting on a fall. Pause and guess along the way, then tell us in the comments: in January 1980, would you have sold, or held?
