Silver Editorials & Commentary

Punch-drunk from a series of crunching blows, dazed and confused, staggering for the ropes. It’s hard not to get the image of Bitcoin being pummeled by the market, getting the wind knock out of it. But is this picture true? Instead of focusing on what swirls around...

Silver is on a major buy signal since early 2016. SLV is on short-term buy signal. Long-term – on major buy signal. Short-term – on buy signals. We are holding silver ETF for long-term gains.

Our equity/bond model - This long-term reliable investing model provides investors with simple decision making in the markets: When the model favors stocks, investors should overweigh in equities for maximum growth. When the model favors bonds, investors should ...

For those of you with busy schedules who like to see arguments made in 280 characters or less, let me come straight to the point: the time has come to sell your gold and buy silver. Got that?

We live within a bifurcated financial market today as our currencies are ‘metaphysical’ and our trader thinking is mostly ‘material’. What do I mean? Today, all our digital currencies are units of consciousness (this means they are metaphysical units).  Some call...

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. Lord Macaulay wrote this nearly two hundred years ago. His aphorism is particularly apposite of modern politicians, and also of the modern state itself, which is meant...

So will the DOW Index top 26.6 K in any reasonable time frame, say before August? Or in the other sectors, will we see copper, energy, cannabis, lithium, cobalt, graphite or energy give us a run?   I'd have to say this is rather suspicious, averages running up but...

The economic data is now beginning to reveal what the bond market has been screaming for weeks: namely that INFLATION. HAS. ARRIVED. In the last 24 hours we’ve seen: Core inflation rose 2.2% year over year for the month of February.

COMEX silver prices are largely unchanged year-to-date, despite a falling U.S. dollar and historically bullish CoT structure. So today we ask, are you ready for the next rally? If the title of this post sounds familiar, it should. We posed a similar question...

If you’re getting the sense that stocks always go up, that’s because they’ve been doing so for a really, really long time. From CNBC today: On the bull market’s ninth birthday, here’s how it stacks up against history

Friday marked the ninth anniversary of the stock bull market, the second longest since World War II following the spectacular run in the 1990s that finally met its match when the tech bubble burst in March 2000.

It is my privilege now to welcome in Gerald Celente, publisher of the renowned Trends Journal. Mr. Celente is perhaps the most well-known trends forecaster in the world and it's always great to have him on with us.

We should all be familiar with the aphorism, “as real estate goes, so goes the economy.” Anyone ignoring that economic axiom was completely blindsided by the Great Recession of 2008. Well, the collapse of the Everything Bubble most certainly includes the real estate...

Bloomberg this week ran a story telling us how the smart money gets out of the stock market when it hits its all-time peak and how the dumb money helps the smart money out. Only they didn’t know that was what they were writing. It typically happens this way:

Current investing model favors equities, therefore, investors should remain overweighed with stocks or stock ETFs for maximum growth. Short-term remains choppy and volatile as VIX is bouncing off the recent low, but as long as it remains below 20 on a monthly close...

Silver is on a major buy signal since early 2016. Major signals can last for months and years and are suitable for long-term investors.

Donald Trump's tax cuts are already paying dividends... well, actually the companies that are benefiting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed by the Trump Administration in December are not only returning cash to shareholders in the form of dividends, but are...

There is a lot of commentary going around the world, regarding Trump’s initiation of a “Trade War” to rebuild America’s industries. Trump thinks that tariffs will do the trick, and stop the rest of the world from taking unfair advantage of the US by selling their...

Bloomberg news has the effrontery to ask: Did Trump Just Start a Global Trade War?  Although even MSNBC pit bull Rachel Maddow treats the President with more deference than Bloomberg.com,  it’s still a fair question to ask.  Judging from the way the stock market has...

To be sure, there are many who reject out of hand, my allegation that JPMorgan has accumulated a massive amount of physical silver over the past seven years, amounting to 700 million ounces or more. That’s completely understandable, since I can’t document and point...

Silver prices move farther and faster than gold prices, both up and down. When long term rallies begin silver often lags gold as in early 2018. The current gold to silver ratio at eighty to one is high. Fifty-nine to one has been the average for 40 years. Prior to ...

An overt trade war has commenced. President Trump has fired the starting gun, setting in motion an election promise, part of his Make America Great Again undertaking. It is a blow squarely aimed against China, costing China some trade perhaps, but basically a loser’...

The world’s biggest sovereign state fund is backing the London property market. The news comes at a time when the UK capital’s real estate market is reportedly at ‘historic lows’ with conditions expected to remain challenging.

After failing from 11,800 USD for the second time Bitcoin has been quickly losing ground. Over the last couple of hours prices crashed more than 1,000 USD down to 9,400 USD. That´s a drawdown of  nearly 20% in just three days. Volatility is obviously back since the...

Index futures have plunged Tuesday night on news that Gary Cohn, Trump’s top economic adviser, is resigning. The selloff has brought the E-Mini futures down to within an inch of triggering a ‘mechanical’ buy I’d flagged at 2687.00. Ordinarily I’d say jump on it...

The price for one ounce of silver currently sits around 16.75 USD. Since its last important high at 21.15 USD in July 2016 the price is down 21% and seems to be caught in a corrective pattern. While gold has been more or less acting quite constructive over the last...

Mike Maloney revealed that he recently made a large purchase of silver because of how undervalued it is. And he bought silver instead of gold because of how high the gold/silver ratio is. If you want to mimic Mike’s purchase of silver while it’s still undervalued,...

How often have you heard the phrase “the government will never let it happen”? It almost doesn’t matter what the topic is you are talking about, nothing “bad” can ever really happen …or so it is thought.

The rising interest-rate trend in the US isn’t new and isn’t related to the Fed’s so-called “policy normalisation” program. However, it has only just started to matter.

The Fed officially has a new Fed Chair, Jerome Powell. And ever since he took office, it is clear that “something” has changed at the Fed.

Recently, quite a bit of news has been published warning of a massive market correction or top that may scare you.  Our research shows this is not the case.  We want to set your mind at ease with regards to these fears they may be experiencing with some real...

Normally the action in the gold and silver futures markets tends to be pretty similar, since the same general forces affect both precious metals. When inflation or some other source of anxiety is ascendant, both metals rise, and vice versa.

How inflated with debt have we become? How long can we float on our own bloat? Reasonably trim in 1970, the sum of all debt publicly financed by the US government was $275 billion. Last week, the government sought to raise $258 billion in just one week! The weekly...

Twenty-seven months and two days ago, I was under huge emotional duress due to the dreadful action in the gold market as prices had been under severe manipulative pressure since mid-October. Under the excruciating weight of incessant shenanigans (interventions), the...

Last week, I wrote about the looming bull trap. On Feb 27th, the stock market topped and the SPX fell 142 points or about 5% in 3 days. My observation was based on time cycles, Elliott Wave and Mars conjunct Vesta. Most of the decline was blamed on the Trump...

Now that equities are behaving the way they should have since, oh, 2013 – volatile with a pronounced down bias – everyone is wondering how far the crazy will go before the Fed starts buying the S&P 500.

The purpose of this update is to commemorate the Large Specs having their first net short position in silver since the site started 15 years ago, and also to consider how we can turn this to our advantage. Before we look at silver’s latest extraordinary COT chart...

While silver is completely off the radar to most investors, it will turn out to be one of the best investments to own as the massive amount of leverage in the stock and real estate market evaporates.  Unfortunately, investors, today are no longer capable of...

Current investing model favors equities, therefore, investors should remain overweighed with stocks or stock ETFs for maximum growth. Short term remains choppy and volatile as VIX is bouncing off the recent low, but as long as it remains below 20 on a monthly close...

Long-term – on major buy signal. Short-term – on sell signals, a pullback is in progress. We are holding silver ETF for long-term gains.
