Silver Editorials & Commentary

Precious metals investors may not be aware, but silver investment has seriously outperformed gold in this major market sector.  Even though precious metals sentiment and sales are currently lower than they were over the past several years, this is only temporary...

Let’s start with this fact; fiat (paper) currencies die – often spectacularly. That is why precious metals may someday be needed for barter and trade. Anyone who thinks it is silly to worry about such a thing is putting blind faith in Federal Reserve Notes.

Yesterday we had a chance to go on Liberty Talk Radio and talk about what is going on economically. We decided that despite what we felt was a great show, it didn’t even scratch the surface in terms of the differences between how things used to be and how they are...

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.

The human element has been substantially reduced within all our electronic cyber markets to a smidgen of what it was twenty years ago. Back in 1998 and prior our markets had the Open Outcry system for determining most of our prices and trends within our markets.

Many of the reports published that cover oil consumption and how quickly consumers will embrace Electric Vehicles (EV) paint a far rosier outlook for the future of oil than the facts dictate. The reason is simple; most of these reports tend to be written or...

The purpose of this article is to draw the widest attention to the chronic inability of the economic establishment to forecast recessions. Next time you hear an economist make a prediction on mainstream media, your default assumption should be he or she is simply...

While the highly inflated value of the U.S. Retirement Market reached a new high this year, something is seriously wrong when we look behind the scenes.  Of course, Americans have no idea that the U.S. Retirement Market is only a few steps from falling off the cliff...

The Great Recession was so great for the only people who matter that it is time to do it all again. Time to shed those bulky new regulations that are like clod-hoppers on our heels and dance the light fantastic with your friendly bankster. Shed the encumbrances and...

Our economic system is gradually and relentlessly evolving into a control system which has been prophesied for these end-time days. Many of us who understand and believe in Providence believe that this end-time monetary system (which is evolving as I write) will be...

I had to chuckle after getting caught up in the ZeroHedge click bait headline A Mystery Investor Just Made A $262 Million Bet That The Stock Market Will Crash By October .  First we should look at the article itself and then analyze the stupidity prevailing even...

There will be no equivocating, fence sitting or any kind of hedging or expression of doubt in what is written in this update. Let me be absolutely clear—we are now at the threshold of a barnburner rally in the Precious Metals sector, and silver is set to scream...

This powerful and protracted bull market has made Cassandras look foolish for a long time. Those who went on record predicting that massive central bank manipulation of markets would not engender viable economic growth have been proven correct. However, these same...

As we have noted, there is a very important difference between a bull market and a bubble. Valuations are certainly one means of distinguishing them. In retrospect, we can recognize previous historic bubbles such as 1929 and 2000.

Heading into 2017, Wall Street was excited by the prospect of a U.S. president who sympathized completely with business. His promised tax and healthcare reforms were widely cheered by investors in the wake of his election. Yet the Congress has so far failed to...

On Tuesday, British pound move lower against the greenback, which resulted in an invalidation of the breakout above two important resistances. How did this negative development affect the technical picture of GBP/USD?

A rally with exactly 40 points of potential — equivalent to about 320 Dow points — looms if the futures are going to fulfill the 2512.00 Hidden Pivot target shown. However, the move through the midpoint pivot at 2457 was labored, implying that a quick ascent to 2512...

According to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the institution that dates the peaks and troughs of the business cycles, A recession is a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally...

There are currently two important items on the Fed’s wish list. The first is to restore interest rates to more normal levels, and the second is to unwind the Fed’s balance sheet, which has expanded since the great financial crisis, principally through quantitative...

Oftentimes in this space we’re focused on one particular variable—or maybe two—that’s sending a precious metal like silver in one specific direction. But right now, the signals in the silver market are hard to read. That leaves us with two questions: what are these...

This letter should find you buckled in for the turbulence I described last week. If not, I hope this one convinces you. The storm is seven days closer now. There are times when normality slips out of reach, and I believe we are approaching such a time.

My blog is about 2½ years old now, and I’ve had well over 30,000 views. Articles automatically also get posted onto my Facebook page, where a larger number of my friends see them; most of the comments show up on my Facebook page.

We continue to see silver as undervalued vis a vis gold but more especially vis a vis stocks, bonds and many property markets. Rather than selling the financial insurance that is gold, we would advise reducing allocations to stocks, bonds and property and allocating...

Last week I wrote an article reviewing the longer term perspective on the Dow Jones Industrial Average and had laid out my longer term outlook on the index and what my expectations were moving forward. In that article, I had noted that I was keeping an eye on the 21...

Take a look at the Markets Digest in the Wall Street Journal. The green is everywhere. US index markets are ALL up for the year (except PHLX gold/silver and oil). International stock indexes are 98% up for the year. I witness record asset prices all over our planet...

Our intraday outlook is bearish, and our short-term outlook is bearish. Our medium-term outlook remains neutral, following S&P 500 index breakout above last year's all-time high:

While most members are focused on the precious metals, I’ve been waiting patiently for two other sectors to setup a long term buy signal which I believe happened last week. I know you are well aware of my mantra that big consolidation patterns lead to big impulse...

“The tape tells all” is a Wall Street bromide we’re all familiar with. It neatly summarizes the belief that the major averages discount everything pertaining to the business outlook. It’s also a basic tenet of Dow Theory.

Last quarter, Taki Tsaklanos—lead analyst at Investing Haven—told MarketWatch that because silver tends to peak in April, the precious metal had likely peaked for the year. Indeed, silver peaked for the month of April at about $18.50 an ounce, far higher than its...

Any news that emerged from last week's G-20 Summit in Hamburg, Germany was bound to be overshadowed by the high theater of the first-ever meeting between U.S. President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. As a result, the biggest actual development from the...
