Silver Editorials & Commentary

Inflation is one of the most misunderstood, misused and lied about topics in economics. The Fed professes to know what causes it: an overly employed workforce. But, perhaps it is aware this is false and intentionally promulgates the ruse of growth as inflation’s...

The financial media is finally catching on to something we’ve been screaming about for years… That the Fed’s preferred metric for measuring inflation is a complete joke.

Recent downside price rotation in Bitcoin has caused quite a bit of concern for Crypto traders and investors. This recent breakdown move represented a failure of continued strength and has, and still is, testing critical support for a bottom.

2018 is a new year. Moreover, January is the start of predictions for what will happen in 2018. Silver forecasts for 2018 have started to come - and it is interesting what they are saying, but more importantly what the forecasts are not saying for silver. Bitcoin...

As investors’ bullish sentiment moves up to euphoric levels, the markets are reaching extreme leverage.  This is terrible news because a lot of people are going to lose one heck of a lot of money.  According to CNN Money’s Fear & Greed Index, the market is now...

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. SLV is on short-term buy signal. Short term signals can last for days to weeks and are more suitable for traders.

A major correction in the major indexes is long overdue. VIX has now made a new low, and when (not if) the downtrend is broken on a monthly basis, investors should consider hedging or under weigh in equity holdings.

Washington D.C. – January 18, 2018) Of all the metals in the periodic table, silver enjoys one of the most versatile landscapes, with its uses found in a wide variety of applications. Silver’s unrivaled characteristics serve many industrial products, while its...

Before I launch into one of my classic, bitter, vitriolic diatribes against all forms of modern-day interventionalist-type, fraudulent excuses for what use to be "free markets," have a gander at the chart below. Pay particular attention to the smiles on all of those...

The one subject, which became a headline issue last year, and even divides experts is trade. It will become increasingly important in 2018 as the US develops her trade policy, particularly with respect to China, and as the UK negotiates her Brexit terms with the EU...

As you may recall we nailed the Bitcoin top within 2 days. Here is the chart from the update of 18th December…

2017 was literally the smoothest stretch of highway that US stocks have ever traveled. Rising almost every day and seldom falling hard, they made it virtually impossible for investors to lose money. Here’s the Dow Jones Industrial Average over the past two years....

The oil market price is setting up for one heck of a fall.  Now, could this large oil correction cause the next stock market crash?  Time will tell.  However, the indicators in the oil market are showing the largest net commercial short positions in history.  The...

I invest in gold and silver, mostly miners. Most people, I expect, are unwilling or don’t have the temperament to put all their eggs in one basket. The most familiar of the highly liquid investments is stocks – shares of most of the companies you know and love plus...

The arguments in favor of silver as an investment asset are growing rapidly. In the opinion of the Jackass website, silver is the most under-valued hard asset in existence, with the highest potential for price appreciation on the globe. To begin with, central banks...

Price ratios determine relative value of the precious metals and are useful parameters in deciding which metal to buy at any given time. In previous musings, I documented the history of gold and silver prices and gold-silver ratios from the United States’...

Only two weeks in and 2018 is already breaking records – mostly in a good way. But that leaves 50 potentially less enjoyable weeks to go. So rather than focus on promising current events, I think I’d better dip back into my annual forecast bag and share a few more...

Our benchmark S&P500 is on a major buy signal. New money should wait for a correction and cycle bottom to accumulate for long-term holding. Oil sector is on a major sell signal. Investors should wait for the next major buy signal.

Usually we have a commentary of some kind as a back story to what is going on in the PMs.   Our commentaries have become fewer and farther between because of the absurdity of government control, which in turn is controlled by the ruling elite.

THE WINNERS ARE SILVER AND GOLD! But “they” claim gold and silver are volatile and dangerous. Gold and silver might go up or down (for a few years) when measured in digital currency units created from “thin air” by corrupt central banks. Gold in 1971 was $42 and is...

Last week, I asked, “What would make 2018 more productive for you? Please email me the first thing that comes to your mind.” Before I summarize the responses, a big thank you to the 800+ people who sent me personalized responses. Someone pointed out that asking the...

Some nasty dark clouds are forming on the financial horizon as total world debt is increasing nearly three times as fast as total global wealth.   But, that’s okay because no one cares about the debt, only the assets matter nowadays.  You see, as long as debts are...

Cryptocurrency has been a huge buzz all year with bitcoin taking the lead. Since January of 2017, Bitcoin has become the darling for investors. The phrase Buy Bitcoin has recently surpassed the phrase Buy Gold for the first time in history in terms of search on the...

TMV is a 3 X short the TLT 20 year Treasure Bond ETF. This trade is based on the TLT. For well over three years now the TLT has been building out what looks like a massive H&S top with the top of the right shoulder now in play.

There is a huge shock in store for those who have been lulled to sleep by a stock market that has become accustomed to no volatility and only an upward direction. And that alarm bell can be found in the price action of Bitcoin, which recently tumbled over 40% is...

In a recent newsletter John Mauldin wrote: “It is monetary policy madness to raise rates and undertake quantitative tightening at the same time.” However, this is exactly what the Fed plans to do in 2018. Has the Fed gone mad?

It is my privilege now to welcome in Gordon Chang, author, television pundit, and columnist at the Daily Beast. Gordon is a frequent guest on Fox News, CNBC, and CNN, among others, and is one of the foremost experts on Asian economics and geopolitics, having written...

Bitcoin is the biggest market phenomenon that 2017 experienced and the question is what will happen to Bitcoin – and by implication to all the other crypto-currencies – in 2018. There is widespread opinion that Bitcoin et al is the ‘new money’. That in turn raises...

Many people have speculated that Cryptocurrencies can go to $10k or higher.  Recently, the Chinese government has stepped up policy to regulate and eliminate Crypto ICOs as a means of increased speculation and gray-market capital.  Additionally, Jamie Dimon, of JP...

Enjoy the good times while you can because when the economy BLOWS UP this next time, there is no plan B.  Sure, we could see massive monetary printing by Central Banks to continue the madness a bit longer after the market crashes, but this won’t be a long-term...

The past few days I have been reminded of how important silver is to our world and how silver is the one asset the world needs in order to function to a high level. Actually, silver is necessary for our world to function at even the most basic level where power/...

I would like to start out by looking at the $CDNX, Canadian Venture Composite Index, which blasted higher last week and is following through this week. The reason this index is so important is because it not only has many junior precious metals stocks, but also many...

It’s not boasting to state plainly that you were right if you are equally direct about your errors. I have until now rightly predicted all of the stock market’s major downturns, starting with the one in 2007 that gave us the Great Recession. The first of those led...

The paradoxical technical situation for oil that we highlighted in the last update has continued – and has gotten even more extreme. In that update we concluded that oil’s very bullish volume indicators pointed to its continuing to advance, despite COT and Hedgers...
