Silver Editorials & Commentary

After Thursday's late-day setback, stocks stabilized only to dip again in the runup to Trump's press conference – but what is the subsequent rebound made of? In today's flagship Stock Trading Alert, I'll examine the prospects of the bull run, and assess the bulls'...

Silver is on a major SELL signal. SLV is on short-term buy signal. Speculation is on the rise. Long-term – on SELL signal as of end of May.

Our benchmark S&P500 is on a long-term sell signal, a major correction is in progress. The current investing model remains in favor of bonds, therefore, investors should continue to overweigh with long bonds or bond ETFs for safety over growth.

Stocks defended the opening bullish gap, and scored further gains intraday before the sellers took over in the session's final 45 minutes. Have we seen a turning point? In short, that's unlikely, and let me tell you why exactly I think so.

The silver miners’ stocks have surged higher since mid-March’s COVID-19 stock panic, clocking in some big and fast gains.  Nevertheless, this long-struggling sector remains vexing.  By mid-May as their latest earnings season was wrapping up, the silver stocks were...

Since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, the stock market has outperformed Gold and Silver significantly. Here is a great chart (from longtermtrends.net) that proves this:

It’s no surprise to most investors that the Fed is propping up the stock market.  However, if we compare the Dow Jones Index versus the continued unemployment claims, something seriously wrong is going on.  According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve, continued...

Yesterday’s sizable bullish gap immediately came under attack by the sellers – no panicking though as I kept riding the bull to the glorious close and beyond. In such moments, it’s key to focus on what has changed, and what has not. The obvious conclusion has been...

Tuesday’s session played out as a massive gap up and consolidation. This meant that it allowed the price action and its internals to reset, catch a breath in order to ramp up higher again. It’s been the same structure for the past few weeks once the price action...

The runup to yesterday’s US open and the regular session’s trading confirmed my call that stocks would break above the key resistances. And they did effortlessly overcome the upper border of March’s gap and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement without really looking back...

A recent newspaper article about superspreaders -- stadium events, concerts and outdoor festivals that effectively bathe crowds in Covid-19 -- noted that a boisterous fan can spew viral particles that remain airborne for as long as 12 minutes. 

Stocks versus key resistances – that’ how much of last week’s trading could be characterized. Yet the bullish bias has been easily noticeable as prices kept making higher highs and higher lows on a daily basis. As a cherry on Friday’s trading cake, the S&P 500...

Silver is on a major SELL signal. 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.

Our benchmark SP500 is on a long term sell signal, a major correction is in progress. The current investing model remains in favor of bonds, therefore, investors should continue to overweigh with long bonds or bond ETFs for safety over growth.

We are now entering the final part of the endgame of the latest fiat experiment and the actions of the Fed and other central banks virtually guarantee that most currencies, including and especially the dollar, will end up totally worthless, just like in the Weimar...

Stocks have closed between two strong resistances yesterday – between the upper border of March’s gap and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. But the overnight rise in US-China tensions (this time, regarding Hong Kong), sent the S&P 500 futures below the key...

Just like all good and bad things alike come to an end, so do “never-ending” rallies. Crude oil declined well over 5% today, which might mean that we already saw the end of the rally. But did we certainly see it? Will crude oil be trading lower shortly?

The silver market is on the move. In fact, it’s finally moving out ahead of other precious metals and showing some real leadership. After the panic selling of March briefly brought spot silver below $12/oz, prices have since surged by 50%. That’s an impressive move...

In my previous article, I’ve written about how important US dollar movements are for future Silver prices. The chances of a significant Silver rally during US dollar strength is very low; and it is very high during US dollar decline.

It drives you absolutely mad to see a whole world living a lie. How can anyone believe that the fake world the Fed and their fellow central bankers have created has anything to do with reality. We have fake money, fake markets, fake companies, fake banks, fake...

In the late 1930s, a young stallion was born in Lexington, Ky., at the legendary Calumet Farm, that went on to win seventeen major races from 1940–1942, including the Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes) in 1941. Named after his brood-mare...

Yesterday’s session did away with the non-confirmation of last week’s reversal from the 50% Fibonacci retracement. Junk corporate bonds lent their support to the stock upswing, and the S&P 500 closed above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. Will the bulls be...

When the Dodd Frank Act was passed in 2010, President Obama triumphantly declared, “No more bailouts!” But what the Act actually said was that the next time the banks failed, they would be subject to “bail ins” – the funds of their creditors, including their large...

Having focused intently on the running open losses of the 8 big shorts (ex-JPM) for the past year, the latest price surge would seem to put the 8 big shorts in particular serious jeopardy. Simply put, the open losses ($7.8 billion, as of Friday, May 15) have never...

Just like the precious metals market, black gold ended the previous week with a sizable upswing. The rally continued in the early Monday trading, as crude oil moved decisively above its previous April highs.

Neither on Thursday, nor on Friday did the bears manage to break below the 50% Fibonacci retracement. Stocks rebounded, albeit less convincingly than on Thursday. Or was it convincing enough? Let’s examine both sides of the story to assess whether it’s the bulls or...

Silver is on a major SELL signal. Long-term – on SELL signal as of end of April. Short-term – on buy signal. Cycle is up but topping. 

Last April retail sales dropped a whopping 14.6%.  Yet the stock market Dow increased 0.25%.  It looks like the majority of investors are inert to any bad news.  Everyone tend to blame the Covid-19 pandemic.  What is really significant this week is that fact that...

Our benchmark SP500 is on a long term sell signal, a major correction is in progress. The current investing model remains in favor of bonds, therefore, investors should continue to overweigh with long bonds or bond ETFs for safety over growth.

Just when it appeared that the bears will get a third consecutive daily close lower, stocks rebounded from the 50% Fibonacci retracement. Having stabilized and adding to the intraday gains within the final hour before the closing bell, have the sellers been banished...

Ask yourself the following question. What are my top five trading/investment rules. Write them down in detail and review them. Seems like a simple question but if there is any struggle in response, it is of utmost essence to clarify. It is impossible to produce...

It turned out that the late Tuesday Kaplan and Kashkari pronouncements were an opening act in yesterday’s Powell appearance. Fed Chair’s realistic and grim assessment just served to put pressure to throw yet another lifeline to the real economy.

Increasing numbers of articles focused on gold and silver can be found in many good journals.  Gold and silver are regarded as safe haven assets during global relentless currency printing due to the cloud of Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the bad news, there is always...

Overnight price action overshot to 2830 support on the Emini S&P 500 (ES), bottoming out at 2825.25, as price was oversold given the 100-point drop from the 2930s.

A great deal has been written about the supposed impending surge in the price of silver while a few other analysts have taken the exact opposite point of view maintaining that silver is going considerably lower in price per troy ounce. What will it be – $7/ozt. or...

Right after the open, stocks took again on the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, but retreated. Trading around the 2910 mark in a tight range, it appeared as base-building for the decisive push above the resistance. Instead, stocks fell through in the final hour of...

Over the last 50 years there have virtually been no significant Silver rallies during a period when the US Dollar index has been rising.

Many people are warming up to the idea of digital currency in a cashless society due to coronavirus because going touch free is cleaner than cash. Many businesses are already moving to make digital currency the only form of transaction they will engage in so their...

The forces of deflation and inflation continue to tug at the economy simultaneously. The pressures on both sides are huge. On the deflation side, jobs, industrial demand, and the small business lifeblood of communities are contracting at an unprecedented pace....

As we noted in March while it was happening the sentiment environment became terror-stricken. Not fearful. Not over-bearish. Not even a contrarian extreme. Market sentiment was marked by full frontal terror as indicator after indicator (ref. Sentimentrader’s...
