Silver Editorials & Commentary

After Gamestop, silver was the next big target, but investor frenzy seems to be showing signs of fatigue. Is the euphoric run on silver over? Silver is definitely making noise… or was. Who exactly is responsible for the pumping of SLV on WallStreetBets can be...

Silver is under attack, and prices are back below the $27.00 level. Yesterday’s gap higher was closed, and prices are backtesting the intermediate trendline. What happens next is crucial!

The best performing precious metal for the week was silver, up 5.86%. The Reddit day-traders discovered silver this week after sending GameStop and other stocks soaring. Comments appeared on Reddit on Wednesday calling the iShares Silver Trust the “biggest short...

Unfortunately, unless the physical market can be squeezed, at some point the bullion banks like JP Morgan and HSBC – with help from the Central Banks and the BIS – will be able to regain their grip on the pricing of gold and silver using derivatives – paper gold and...

Near the end of 2020, my research team identified trends, pullbacks, and overall upward/downward trends in US major markets as well as those for Gold and Silver.  It is time we revisited these early 2021 predictions in relation to what is happening in the markets...

When Joe Public buys shares during a wave of euphoria, they do it close to a market top or before the beginning of a decline. Looking at you, SLV!

After what happened last week with beaten-down stocks such as GameStop (GME) and AMC (AMC), there are indeed signs of a bubble forming. While these stocks don’t necessarily reflect the broader market, I have been calling a downturn for weeks.

The current short position in COMEX silver is mostly held by 8 major financial firms. We can only guess who they are because their identities are protected. According to the COT reports, the biggest 4 are short nearly 60 thousand contracts and the next 4 are short...

Wall Street traders have traditionally played hardball with each other. They’ll take a position and then “talk their book” on CNBC, or short a competitor’s favorite stock while spreading negative rumors about it, or do any number of other ethically-dubious things to...

Last night, as I was pondering which of the multiple events of the week that deserved my undivided ranting, I was reminded of a missive I wrote in late 2019, just after Jerome Powell executed his now-famous “pivot” and halted all efforts at “balance sheet...

Silver is leading gold and that is supportive for overall higher prices. Long-term – on BUY signal as of end of January. ShorT-term – on sell signal. A pullback is in progress but may have completed this week. We are holding long term positions. 

Here are today's videos and charts.  The videos are viewable on mobile phones as well as computers.

But for two days at least dem bugz is successfully battlin’ dem boyz on da COMEX. The result is that the Silver/Gold ratio (weekly futures chart) has been rammed to a new high for the post-crash move. If we back completely away from the #silversqueeze punchbowl,...

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...

Nearly 6+ months ago, our research team highlighted a unique price range that appears to be repeating itself in Silver.  This price range consists of a $5.40 bullish or bearish price phase.  Using our 100% measured move techniques, we've seen silver move higher and...

Well, it’s been an extraordinary week in financial markets – and perhaps a pivotal one in th e silver market. The big story wasn’t the Federal Reserve’s policy announcement or any other actions by central planners. Instead, all eyes were on a loosely connected group...

The hot story this week is the incredible run up in the stock price of GameStop. A week ago, this was a $40 stock, with the company losing well over $4 a share. That’s not surprising for a retail store operator in the world of lockdowns. What is surprising is what...

The reflexive rebound slowly but surely lost steam, rolling over into the close. The decline continued in the overnight session before a 3720-ish floor was established, indicating that the stock bulls are not yet out of the woods. It was indeed a good idea to take...

It is my opinion that the silver bull market that began in July 2020, when silver broke out of its 6-year channel and closed above $18.50, is getting ready to go on an historic run. The stocks above are poised to take advantage of this situation.

Looking at the next chart, you will find a clear trend in motion. Undeniably. And still, there is always this feud between fundamentalists and chartists. In our opinion, any extreme view of trading is unhealthy. You want to have an open mind and let the market lead...

The downswing potential I warned about yesterday, came. Heavy selling continued as the Fed threw cold water in assessing the pace of the recovery, and didn‘t signal readiness to prop it up even more than it does currently. That‘s a disappointment even though nobody...

It's officially "stonk season" in the markets. The IPO market continues to baffle, and SPACs continue to pop-up like weeds in your front yard. Plus if you’ve seen GameStop (GME), AMC Entertainment (AMC), and Blackberry (BB) lately, you know the Robinhooders are at...

Being put in charge of the U.S. government’s finances in 2021 is a bit like being appointed captain of the Titanic in 1912. More to the point, trying to avert a financial disaster ahead in the current environment is akin to trying to steer a doomed ship away from a...

With the ratio charts of most senior miners versus gold bullion looking droopy at best, I will suggest that inflation is needed to give these stocks some “mojo.”

The best performing precious metal for the week was silver, up 2.92%. Global holdings in silver-backed ETFs hit the highest ever on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg calculations. The iShares Silver Trust took in half a billion dollars in inflows on Tuesday, the...

As a new administration took power in Washington this week, investors weighed new opportunities as well as new risks. The Biden administration promises to undo much of the policy agenda President Donald Trump had implemented. However, those expecting a new era in...

A little more than two decades ago, amidst the wild excesses of the dot-com boom, I wrote what turned out to be an epitaph for those heady times in the The San Francisco Examiner. It bore the headline Monsters from the Id Threaten the System, a metaphorical...

Initial Jobless claims totaled 900,000 for the week ending January 16th, after shedding 965,000 in the week prior. These numbers are over four times greater than they were a year ago. I find this to be not only sad but also remarkable in that we are still losing...

With Biden in the White House, Trump's hallmark policies with the exception of 2017 tax cuts, are being undone. Would that be true also about the stock bull market that I called back in spring 2020? Still in autumn that year, I‘ve been saying that there isn‘t any...

I started calculating the financial plight of the 8 big shorts in COMEX gold and silver on a twice-weekly basis around June 2019. That’s when gold moved higher. The big shorts had added quite aggressively to short positions early in the move and when gold rose $100...

Silver remains on a major BUY signal at the end of December. Long-term – on BUY signal as of end of December. Short-term – on sell signal. A pullback is in progress. 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...

There’s not a rigid definition of what an emerging market is. For example, China is still the leading country in many emerging market ETFs and funds. But is it fair to consider China an emerging market any longer? It has nearly 1.4 billion people and was the only...

When you start freshly entering the trading arena, it is fascinating that all it takes is pushing a button to be in a winning trade (or a losing one). The ease of participation isn’t the only unusual aspect of trading. In this week’s chartbook, we want to illuminate...

From the panic low of the Coronavirus scare last March when silver bottomed at $11.30 to its inflation-induced peak at $29.82 in August, silver prices rose an incredible 163% during 2020 in less than five months. Yet as this article is going to press the day of the...

Anyone who owns precious metals, mining shares or metals' ETFs knows the drill. First, gold and silver begin to establish an uptrend on the charts. Analysts (like us) start writing about how prices are getting ready to make an upside run.

There's no consensus on whether silver is in its second or third secular bull market since the 1970s. That's because people define bull markets in different ways. But as I'll show you, it's not that important.

This market continues trudging forward and weighing good news with bad. After stocks closed last week with their first weekly declines in nearly a month, stocks staged a mild recovery on Tuesday (Jan. 19th) led by tech, big banks, and small-caps.

Header: Which stocks could magnify S&P 500’s gains in case it rallies? Take a look at a part of our Stock Pick Update. We have included two Energy and one Financials stock this time.

We’ve reached a very critical juncture in the markets. Last week, I mentioned how this reminded me of the Q4 2018 pullback, and still maintain that there is way too much complacency in this market. Stock markets are risky for a reason, something many Robinhood...
