NO Fundamental or Technical Factors Support Claim Silver’s A Bargain – A Screaming Buy!

Comparing silver’s current price of $14.98/ozt silver has tumbled:

• by 70% from its intraday peak price of $49.82/ozt 8 years ago this month and
• by 90% from its intraday peak of just over $50/ozt 39 years ago in 1980 (inflation-adjusted price $160.00.ozt).

[Given the above,] some say that $15/ozt silver is a bargain – “a screaming buy!”- but what are the fundamentals and/or technical factors to support such claims?…

See the chart of the ten-year history of silver prices below.

In order to put things in perspective, however, we need to go further back in time. Below is another chart…[that] shows the silver price for the past twenty years:

The chart…[above shows] that the current 70% decline in silver’s price came on the heels of a 1,150% increase beginning in late 2001 and ending with the price spike we mentioned earlier that took silver to $49.82/ozt. While I haven’t drawn it in, there is a long-term uptrend line dating back to November 2001 that is still intact. Silver could actually fall back to somewhere close to $10.00/ozt in the near term without breaking the trend line…

We still need to know more, though, before we can proclaim that all is well with silver. Below is a third chart of silver, which shows a one hundred year history of the white metal:

In this chart, there is also a long-term uptrend line. This one dates back to December 1941. It, too,  provides a possible floor under silver’s price of somewhere close to $10.00/ozt…

Here is a fourth chart which plots the price of silver over the past one hundred years on an inflation-adjusted basis:

…Some say that silver at $15.00/ozt is a bargain – “a screaming buy!” but there are NO fundamentals or technical factors to support such claims…
