Silver Editorials & Commentary

A shout-out to I M Vronsky and his crew, [Gold-Eagle], for reaching its 475 Millionth view since it began on 1 January 1997.  Congrats!

A relatively quiet but interesting week for the markets with Canada Day falling early in the week and Independence Day falling later in the week which kept markets open only half a day Wednesday and pretty quiet Friday.

The average SILVER correction since this bull market started was 44%. Moreover, some down-side pressure may persist for a while. Furthermore, it is to be noted that after the price of silver dropped 57% in 2008, it surged 441% over the next three years. Silver is...

When Obama first entered the White House four years ago, CinC was at $881 billion dollars.  Today it is approaching $1,200 billion dollars, an increase of 35%.  This is just for the number of paper dollars and pocket change circulating in the global economy.  The...

When the markets “speak,” we “listen.”  For all of the non-stop bullish “news” about the unprecedented demand, more for gold than silver, and all of the talk about how useless the COMEX paper market is, it has been the paper market that the forces of supply and...

GLD – on sell signal.

The Dow, in particular, has been the biggest obstacle to a rise in precious metals, due to it sucking up most of the available value on global markets. However, it appears that this obstacle is now out of the way, with the Dow likely having peaked.

Most market commentators’ focus on gold and silver, as well as with most markets, are short term.   Rarely do they look back more than few years at the most.  However, every now and then it is good to take a historical look at a market to see where we’ve been, to...

“Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.” There is a similar situation with regard to fiat paper everywhere, but not a gold delivery to be made.  The delirium cast by central bankers issuing unlimited fiat has kept so many people in a fiat-induced fog,...

There was more mind-blowing news this week in bullion markets. This is to be contrasted with the deluge of shrill, gold-bashing propaganda being cranked out by the Corporate Media at maximum decibels.

The life cycle of most things not matter what it is (living, product, service, ideas etc…) go through four stages and the stock market is no different.

For obvious reasons; most of the discussion in the precious metals sector over recent months has focused on the gold market.

Photographic demand for silver has fallen 70% from its peak. What could possibly fill that gap...?

Paper money was invented when payments were done in gold and silver. Instead of carrying the heavy and precious metals around, one could store them in a warehouse. In return, a piece of paper was handed out whose owner was entitled to pick up the stored metals....

Well, well.  What a pounding the metals took this week.  It’s no fun to grasp at hopes and dreams while your assets tumble to the weeds.

Whatever expectation[s] you may have, expect the unexpected and unlike what you may expect.  So far, that has been playing out quite nicely, and one of our expectations is that it will continue to unfold in the same manner, and to the ongoing surprise of most. 

A drop of the silver price to $ 10/ounce is highly unlikely in view of the sharply rising National Debt in the USA but also in Europe.

The silver to gold ratio (SGR) reached a new high of the move last Monday (June 10th) of 66.23 ounces of silver to one ounce of gold.  This is a huge retracement from its low of 32.00 to an ounce of gold on 25 April 2011.  Today, an ounce of gold can purchase t

We’re almost half way through 2013, so how is the stock market doing?  It could be better, and it could be worse.  Here’s the chart for the NYSE’s 52Wk High-Low Ratio.  I see that last Wednesday the ratio fell to -11.29%.  Since the Aug - Oct 2011 market scare

Gold cannot be printed or manufactured in contrast to the currency. That’s why over the long term it has kept its value as the ultimate currency. There can be no “gold war.” However, we often hear about a currency war.

The saying, “Close, but no cigar!”  could probably be used now, to describe gold & silver investors trying to call a turn in the market.

It never gets tiring to say how the market is the most reliable source of information in the form of developing market activity.

It has been a very long couple of years for the precious metal bugs. The price of gold, silver and their related mining stocks have bucked the broad market up trend and instead have been sinking to the bottom in terms of performance.

I took a bit of criticism after last weekend’s letter, especially on Monday with gold and silver rising.  I was called arrogant and smug and worse and told to throw out the charts. 

I made charts for gold and silver priced in constant 1920 dollars I thought my readers would find interesting.  The plots’ prices are ratios with the nominal dollar price of the metals for the numerators and the indexed increases in Currency in Circulation (Cin

The only thing that’s free right now is the air that we breathe. Other than that it costs to manufacture every object and commodity in the world.

The month of May is now on the books. The question is, can anything new be learned from them? Maybe not, but you would have to see them to understand why not.

It was a quiet week for the most part as markets and many stocks setup new patterns to trade off of but in doing so have given us decent intraday moves which can be capitalized on.  I like to take one or two trades per day and am very selective in those trades.

Analysts at Barclays Bank recently noted that silver imports were down 28% in the month of April year on year. But in an article reporting that news, the author makes it sound like demand was also off significantly for unwrought silver, for silver powder, and for...

BANK ON GOLD AND SILVER VALUES TO REACH RECORD LEVELS IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE…year after year – as global Central Banks try to inflate away their burgeoning debt and reduce unacceptably high UNEMPLOYMENT by vastly expanding Money Supply.  Here is a compre

I wrote nearly a month ago that "The Worse Things Were For The Mining Sector, The Better They Will Get”. This was after the first downward plunge in gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) in April due to the Goldman short.

We are going to start off with one of the most eye-popping pictures of just one central bank, the privately owned corporate Federal Reserve, and its purported gold holding.

The latest World Gold Council Gold Demand Trends report shows that the gold market is driven by diverse global demand, and the appetite for owning gold jewelry, bars and coins continues to grow.

The Dow making new highs is likely to be very good news for silver investors, because nominal silver peaks tend to come after significant nominal peaks in the Dow.

The silver market often gets a bum rap. The reason is that often its gyrations are much greater than those of the gold market. What causes this? There are theories that bankers and investment companies are conspiring to try to manipulate the market. However, buying...

Here is the silver to gold ratio, or the number of ounces of silver one ounce of gold can purchase.  At the close of Friday’s trading an ounce of gold was worth 61.55 ounces of silver; that is a lot of silver, but not as much silver as an ounce of gold could pu

While the precious metals didn’t fare so well this past week, many super moves in stocks did occur making it another just fantastic week for us.  We’re on a huge roll here and I’d like to see it continue but that is up to the market, not me.

The realistic general consensus is that the spot prices for gold and silver are no longer relevant. Yet, what remains the one price on which focus has intensified for each? There simply is no other alternative, at present.

How to trade Gold and other precious metals related investments is not that complex. But you must be willing to wait for price to provide low risk entry points before getting involved.
