No, you certainly cannot. However, one can encourage the pessimists to frame the situation differently.

For instance, you should know what you bought and for how much. Depending upon how long you've been stacking even the current spot price should produce some gain, if not breaking you even. Unfortunate not to be able to participate in a rare black swan event, at least your silver retained it's relative value, which is far better than having a garage sale to liquidate insert-favorite-collectible-here for pennies on the dollar.

Spend some time and decide if there is a better investment to be made. then act accordingly. In other words, rather than sitting still, waiting and being pessimistic, get moving, do something! It is not the savviest place to be, sitting and wishing. And yes, of course I've been there myself! Still fall for it on occasion - bullocks!

It's truly all about perspective. To quote Richard Bach:

"Perspective, use it or lose it. What a
Butterfly sees as the end of the world,
a caterpillar sees as the beginning ."
