While the silver price was dropping recently, we published analyses here and here. At that time, we saw a basis that fell with price, but which recovered during “off” days. In short, there was not much of a decrease in abundance of the metal to the markets...

This article is the sequel to the widely read  Welcome To THE GLOBAL GULAG...  and aims to address many of the points not covered in Part 1, but whereas Part 1 was written in just one (long) day off the top of my head, Part 2 has been carefully brought together over...

Gold and silver investors may have little in common with Jeffrey Epstein’s teenage victims or violent “Black Lives Matter” rioters, but there is one issue upon which they might all agree. Our system of justice often fails.

Since I’ve spent a fair amount of time on the US stock market of late, I won’t say much. Just taking a moment to note September just finished its fourth consecutive week down (final full week), maintaining a downtrend that began as we rolled over from August into...

It wasn’t just COVID that got us down the road to ruin. Because many think we are in what looks like a post-apocalyptic world of rubble only because of COVID or because of Trump, I decided now would be a good time to summarize how predictably the Fed’s Great...

Our benchmark S&P500 is back on a long-term BUY signal. However, the current investing model remains in favor of bonds, therefore, investors should continue to overweigh with long bonds or bond ETFs for safety over growth.

With US elections looming many ask:”How deep will the retracement be? At what price do I purchase my physical silver?” If you think of it, this question is universal. In principle, it has no answer. No one can tell you if and by how much prices might retrace from...

A few days ago, we wrote about a big silver crash. The price dropped around 7.5%. And the basis dropped from around 2% to 0.6%. At the end, we said: “The key question is: what is the follow-through? If the price stays down and the basis goes back up, that will be a...

The top three official mints sold a great deal of retail silver bullion products in the first half of 2020.  However, the sales figure could have been a great deal higher if the various government mints weren’t forced to shut down production.  The top three official...

On Monday, the dollar rose from 1.16 grams silver, to 1.26g. Conventional monetary thinkers believe that the dollar can be measured either in terms of the euro, pound, yuan, etc. Or in terms of consumer prices.

With the market dropping two days in a row at the end of this past week, many were scratching their heads as to the reason for the decline. Yet, no clear reason was to be found.

Silver remains on a major BUY signal at the end of August. SLV is on short-term sell signal. COT data supports lower prices overall.

Our benchmark S&P500 is back on a long term BUY signal. However, the current investing model remains in favor of bonds, therefore, investors should continue to overweigh with long bonds or bond ETFs for safety over growth.

They say patience is a virtue. Well, if anyone is virtuous these days, it has to be silver bulls. They also say good things come to those who wait. I believe those good things will be coming…in spades. Silver reached just shy of $50 back in April 2011. A decade...
