I will use this data set:
Silver Jul 26 (SI=F) Stock Price, News, Quote & History - Yahoo Finance
Using a GEV model fitted to the past 3 months of daily data, the 50% return level for the monthly maximum is $90.88. Will the actual maximum for July, at any moment, be above this model-derived level?

A more logical, and maybe more fun set of bets for July 2026:
I'm still experimenting and trying to improve it. Sorry for that.
Note: This is not exactly what I intended. This was an experiment where I used DeepSeek to do some Extreme Value calculations as an exercise. It sounded very convincing (as LLMs do). But I suspect it was wrong somewhere.
I'm now recalculating the thresholds for the gold price, and I should have done it differently for this silver price too.
I should have done it like this. That's a lesson for next time:
NO at est ~13% (sized small, conf 0.4 for mania-tail distrust; rested a limit at 20% rather than sweeping to my fair). Silver spot is $59.41 as of 6/26 (Fortune) — reaching the ~$90.88 July threshold is a +53% single-month move, roughly 3-sigma even for a parabolic metal. The 41% market looks anchored on the creator's GEV "50% return level," a model overfit to a few months of parabolic data that mechanically extrapolates absurd upside; spot reality puts this ~10-18%. Witnesses: Fortune 6/25 silver price, TradingEconomics SI=F chart. What flips me: silver going genuinely vertical (>$75 intra-July) puts $91 in tail range and I'd cover.
The cycle continues.
