Silver Editorials & Commentary

David Morgan sat down with Nick Barisheff to discuss what is happening in the silver market.

Silver is an odd metal. The crowd loves to hate on it for decades. That's simply because they don't really understand it. But when sentiment flips, it becomes a rock star.

Days like Tuesday (Mar. 9) are why you buy the dips. It was nothing short of a reverse rotation from what we’ve seen as of late. Bond yields moved lower; tech stocks popped. That’s why I called BUY on the Nasdaq.

No one said it would be easy to get short at the top. This bull market is proving especially challenging to fade because the herd knows how grotesquely overvalued stocks are. With so many traders eager to bet the 'don't' line, the broad averages have started to...

Silver investors have been getting increasingly frustrated in recent months as silver has basically done little, while Bitcoin, Blockchain and selected Biotech and Tech stocks have soared. We ourselves haven’t paid silver much attention because it has been so dull,...

The global sovereign bond market is fracturing, and its ramifications for asset prices cannot be overstated. Borrowing costs around this debt-disabled world are now surging. The long-awaited reality check for those that believed they could borrow and print with...

Silver has been consolidating since testing the August high. This is a potential “cup with handle” pattern. Long-term – on BUY signal as of end of February. Short-term – on sell signal. We are holding long term positions.

Our long-term stocks/bond model is in favor of stocks over bonds. Investors should overweigh their portfolios with stock/stock ETFs for maximum growth. The energy /oil sector has a new long-term buy signal and should produce above average return over the next few...

I called Jay Powell's bluff a week ago. Remember when he said last week that we're still far from The Fed's inflation targets? Well, I was right to doubt him. The market didn't like his change in tone Thursday (Mar. 5).

“Remember that the market is a forward-looking indicator. Ideally, it is pricing in the gains of the next six to 18 months.”

The global credit-blowout has stoked fears of a money-printing catastrophe like the one that wrecked Germany's economy a hundred years ago, planting the seeds of World War II.  However, even a cursory look at the Weimar hyperinflation of 1921-23 reveals why it is...

Anyone with a naked short in the silver futures market risks getting squeezed by physical buying. Demand for delivery of COMEX silver bars is rising, even as the paper price of the metal fell more than 4.5% last week.

Is the worst of what the last few weeks brought over? February started off with so much promise, only to be ruined by surging bond yields. The way that bond yields have popped has weighed heavily on growth stocks. Outside of seeing a minor comeback on Friday (Feb....

When you retire, your investment goals change. It is one thing to build a portfolio of unrealized gains and reinvest all of your gains when you are still earning an income. However, it is a very different ball-game when you start withdrawing money from your...

Last March, the financial markets were rocked by a disease that public health officials defined as a pandemic. Stocks and gold both tanked, and the locked-down economy went into free-fall.

Silver remains on a major BUY signal at the end of February. Long-term – on BUY signal as of end of February. Short-term – on sell signal. We are holding long-term positions.

Surging bond yields continues to weigh on tech stocks. When the 10-year yield pops by 20 basis points to reach a 1-year high, that will happen. Tuesday (Feb. 23) saw the Dow down 360 points at one point, and the Nasdaq down 3% before a sharp reversal that carried to...

There is a sense that we are close to a significant move in silver. The current season since August 2020 till now, is shaping up in a similar manner to the season of August 2019 to February/March 2020.

Understanding four critical but simple puzzle pieces is all investors will need to take the flood that leads to fortune. Why then will the majority of investors still take the wrong current and lose their ventures?

What a day that was. What started off looking like a sea of red not seen in months ended with the Dow and S&P in the green. It was an overdue plummet- at least that’s what I thought at the start of the day. The Dow was down 360 points at one point, and the...

Many don’t realize it, but silver is considered to have been the first metal to serve as currency. Could silver one day regain its role as money?  Perhaps. It’s widely accepted that gold was used as money by Lydian merchants around 550 BC, roughly 2500 years ago. ...

Silver has definitely been in the spotlight lately, namely due to the incredible #silversqueeze rally. But as of right now, there is one detail that’s pointing to silver’s next movement.

Financial history includes plenty of extreme years. That’s not surprising, since we’re emotional beings with short memories. Combine those two traits and you get cycles, many of which end with a bang.

Investors are buying silver in vast quantities – in whatever form they can get it. Smaller silver bugs are buying it a few ounces at a time from scarce retail inventories. Whales are accumulating millions of ounces via the silver ETFs or by standing for delivery of...

Indices, for the most part, closed fractionally higher to end the week. But a new headwind for stocks could be more concerning - rising bond yields. That correction I’ve been calling for weeks could have potentially started.
