Hunt Becomes Billionaire After Bankruptcy 33 Years Ago in Silver...

By early 1980, their stake was valued at more than $9 billion.

The crash rattled Wall…

Silver ‘$100 Within Two Years’

March 27, 2013

Alex: So you think $100 silver is realistic in the next year or two? Eric: Well I think obviously with gold at $1600, I would believe that silver should be at a hundred. Does it happen in one to two years? Maybe not, but I would certainly say in two to five years it happens. And that’s just with gold staying still!

Silver Market Update

Although silver’s long-term charts are more messy and difficult of interpretation than gold’s, on its long-term 7-year chart we can see that it, like gold, is getting close to a lower supporting trendline drawn parallel to the definite upper trendline drawn across the 2006, 2008 and 2011 highs, where the chances are good that it will successfully find support and turn higher, particularly as this trendline has now risen steadily to come into play underpinning the strong support level where the…

The silver market is increasingly becoming an exercise in contradiction. On one hand, the silver spot price has disappointed thus far in 2013, falling from the low-thirties in early January down to its current level around US$29.00/oz. Given that price direction, one would be forgiven for assuming that the silver ETF's had experienced outflows over that time - but they have not. While we have seen the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) shed 141 tonnes of gold year-to-date with the price of gold reacting…
