We’ve pointed out as far back as last August that silver was looking overdue to outperform gold. In an article back then we discussed the Gold/Silver ratio (the number of ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold) and the fact it was getting pretty high historically: Gold and Silver Chart-fest As […]

We’ve been commenting lately that gold (and now more recently silver) seems to be surprising many people by continuing to rise, with very little in the way of pull back. We thought this recent post by Stewart Thomson was worth sharing as he covers a number of factors that are occurring in the precious metals […]

Last October we wondered whether we had seen a trend change with the US Dollar starting to weaken. Or rather for us here in New Zealand, the Kiwi Dollar starting to strengthen. We thought it was time to check back in on this theory as it indeed seems to have been the case. Below is […]
