A Historical Perspective Of A Precious Metal Price Correction

When trying to determine when a market correction may be ending, it only makes sense to look at past corrections to help determine a general guideline. This really does not have to be a complicated process and the results from some quick analysis can be quite helpful.

Silver is Following its 1970s Pattern

The cyclical bear market in Silver is serving its purpose. Its correcting and digesting the 6-fold advance that took place in less than two and a half years. A similar correction took place in the mid 1970s that led to the parabolic move to $50. Amazingly, if you line up Silver’s performance from its 1971 low to 1980 high with Silver’s performance since its 2008 bottom, you’ll notice strong parallels.

Dip in Silver Prices Means Higher Premiums for U.S. Silver Coins

There are few better barometers to gauge demand for bullion products on the street than the dealer to dealer premiums on those products. For old U.S. silver coins in moldy canvas bags premiums are on the rise as the price of silver has been doing the opposite. Premiums are the amount over the current spot or cash price paid or collected in a bullion transaction. The opposite is, predictably, called a discount.

Silver Premiums, Demand & Shortages

Back in 2008, silver fell from over $20 per ounce down to below $10. This was a stomach-turning experience for those who had begun investing heavily in the metal. I heard reports of bullion dealers in the US who simply were not selling Monster Boxes of Silver Eagles. Physical metal was hard to find in spite of the price collapse.
