Can Silver See A Lower Low Without Gold and GDX?

March 01, 2016

For weeks we have been looking towards the 16 level as the point silver could be seen as breaking out. However, silver came right up to the line, but could not muster the strength to push forward. This past week, we saw silver break below our support of 14.80, which clearly is not a positive development. However, what we also know about silver is that it is the most volatile of the metals and often likes to come on strong from behind. You see, silver is the Secretariat of the metals world.

Silver is Destined for Massive Gains

March 01, 2016

One of the main reasons for silver being so depressed compared to the resilience that gold has shown is the incredible range of uses that silver has in the manufacturing of a vast number of products. This is a topic that we have covered here in the past that highlights why silver, with its dual purpose as both an industrial and monetary commodity, make it so desirable now and in the future.

Gold-Silver Ratio Breakout Report

February 29, 2016

The gold to silver ratio moved up very sharply this week, +4.2%. How did this happen? It was not because of a move in the price of gold, which barely budged this week. It was due entirely to silver being repriced 66 cents lower.

Silver Prices in Five Years?

February 29, 2016

What will the price of silver be in 2021? You can find articles suggesting the price of silver will be over $1,000 and under $10. Perhaps this is the wrong question. A better approach: The global financial system is increasingly unstable and fragile, more so than in 2008. The important question is: How will governments, central banks and financial systems respond to the ongoing crisis? Future prices for silver are dependent upon the answer to that question. I suggest three possible…

Eric Sprott: Silver is The Dark Horse (Video)

February 27, 2016

Mining silver and gold is a tough business. In order to mine either of these products (money) you need a steady stream of capital into your operation. As we have reported on a number of occasions throughout 2015, and into 2016, that capital is drying up or has left the market completely. This has been causing stress and strain within the mining industry, but not like you might think.

Aggressive Silver Capping Continues

February 25, 2016

At some point, the question becomes "why". With gold now up 17% year-to-date, silver is up just half that amount at 9.5%. And yet, the latest CoT report shows the highest silver Commercial net short position since 2008. Again, why? Why now? That's truly the $64MM question. Why are The Silver Banks shorting so aggressively here? What's the difference in holding price below $16 versus $18 or $20?

Silver Price Forecast: Why Central Banks Will Buy Silver

February 24, 2016

The current pattern has not completed yet, and it would suggest that it will only complete at a point much lower than a ratio of 15. Such a completion of the pattern is consistent with the bullish fundamentals of silver (and gold) in relation to paper money – understanding that a lower ratio will likely mean higher gold and silver prices. Note that there is a major battle for the 80 - level of the ratio.

The US Geological Survey and Silver

February 22, 2016

Recent talk on the Internet has been about Peak Gold, Peak Silver and a general view that the planet’s natural resources are in danger of sliding into an irreversible decline in production which no amount of pricing or technology can reverse. The implication of this for those who hold gold or silver would be immense in financial terms but also in wider political and economic terms. With that in mind, I consulted the statistics of the US Geological Survey (USGS) for subscribers in a recent…

Where is the Silver Coming From?

February 22, 2016

If these three countries are sucking up all the silver they can get their hands on for their solar programs, global investment demand is so strong the two largest minted coins in the world are rationed – where is the silver going to come from by the end of 2016? How will the bullion dealers be able to back fill their shelves to supply the retail investors of coins, bars and rounds? Regardless of the fact the government continually tries to teach us 2+2=5, it does not. Got physical?
