SILVER INVESTMENT: The Lowest Risk, Highest Return Potential vs. Stocks & Real Estate

Earlier this week, we shared a post looking at the very unusual set up in the silver futures market. That is, where the large silver speculators have their first net short position in memory. Meaning they are betting the price of silver will go lower. Now this post shows that the “commercials” (who are the […]

Bullish Indicator: Large Silver Speculators First Net Short Position in Memory

Sorry we can’t stop publishing posts outlining why silver is likely such a good buy currently. In recent weeks we’ve had, Silver: Black Swans, 2018 and Beyond and Why Silver May Not Be “Off the Radar” For Much Longer. We have another post this week from technical analyst Clive Maund. He takes a close look […]

Silver: Black Swans, 2018 and Beyond

Here’s an excellent summary of what could be in store for silver in 2018 and into the following few years. Including a look back at past silver cycles and what that might mean for the next cycle.

Why Silver May Not Be “Off the Radar” For Much Longer

We’ve been “banging the drum” on silver lately. Pointing out in our weekly newsletter for the last couple of weeks here and here, that silver is currently very cheap compared to gold.

Why Gold Could Go “Hyperbolic” in This New Bull Market For Gold

Doug Casey makes some fairly bold claims in this interview such as how by the end of 2018 “gold will hit $2,000” in this new bull market for gold. We too believe gold could make some good gains this year, even if US$2000 seems a long way off yet. One thing we do agree on […]

What’s “Changing”: Interbank Lending, Interest Rates and Inflation?

It also ties in nicely with an article we published earlier on the same topics: Gold: The Ultimate Iron Lady […]

Gold: The Ultimate Iron Lady

In late 2017 we reported: Here’s How Inflation Could Surprise Everyone.  Just lately we are starting to see a few more warnings of a possible rise in inflation. Zerohedge recently published a great post on how the velocity of money may be bottoming out. Monetary velocity is a key factor in rising inflation levels. Stewart Thomson […]

Why Silver is Lagging Gold

Here’s a few reasons from our favourite newsletter writer Chris Weber as to why silver is lagging gold: “First is that gold has a strong monetary reserve place in the vaults of the central banks the way silver does not have. Further, wealthy people, whose distance from normal people is far larger today than it […]

The Russian Central Bank and the New Golden Rule

At the end of January we reported the following: “Russian gold reserves hit historic high, stockpiling record 223 tons last year. Meanwhile the “Central Bank of Russia (CBR) added 300,000 ounces (9.3 tons) of gold to its reserves in December, bringing the total yearly holdings to a record 1,838.211 tons, worth over $76 billion in […]
