Silver

Hundreds of articles seem to be posted every day on why the prices of gold and silver are going north of $5,000 & $100 ozt. respectively, or conversely to below $1,000 and $15, respectively. Unfortunately most of what is written is self-serving and/or wishful thinking. Some is what I call nothing more than financial entertainment devoid of substance. Occasionally a thought provoking article is posted and when that happens munKNEE.com is there with it. Below are some such articles that are currently in the munKNEE.com vault.

The notion that gold is the premium SAFE HAVEN during times of financial crisis doesn’t hold true if we go by the actual data. When the world stood at the brink of a total economic and financial meltdown in 2008, investors overwhelmingly choose silver over gold, which means, when the next much more dire financial crisis appears, physical silver demand will more than likely totally overrun supply. Got Silver?

The correction in gold is approaching, or is at, its conclusion although gold could drop to $1000 before it’s done. That being said, however, further losses are looking less likely as the dollar has broken down from its parabolic uptrend and is vulnerable to a severe decline. The long-term outlook for gold and silver is a massive parabolic ramp similar to, but much greater in magnitude than that which occurred in the 1970’s, taking gold eventually to $5000 or higher. Silver may prove to be an even better investment. Here's my explanation with a good number of charts.

Why in the world has JP Morgan accumulated more than 50 million troy ounces of physical silver since early 2012, adding more than 8 million troy ounces during the past couple of weeks alone? Why are they doing this? What do they know that the rest of us do not? Could it possibly be that they are anticipating another great economic crisis? We are definitely due for one! Here's what I think is going on behind the scenes.

Few pundits who have forecast the future price of silver have provided a specific date as to when their projections will most likely be achieved and why. This article provides that information.

Optimism, hype, wishful thinking, hope - call it what you will (unabashed cheerleading?) - abounds regarding the future for the price of both gold and silver. Below are just a few such views.

There is so much hype and cheer-leading out there amongst supposed gold & silver analysts that you probably wonder just who is worth your time to follow, if anyone. Having read and analyzed hundreds and hundreds of articles on the subject I have concluded that there is ONLY one such person.

The resource markets (including gold & silver) are well known for moving in cycles...Raging bull markets & crippling bear markets, repeat. The data doesn’t tell us exactly when gold & silver will enter their respective upcycles, nor how big they will be, but it does tell us this: new bull cycles are coming. Let me explain further.

The best places to buy gold and silver online depend on what your goal with the gold is — amassing physical bullion for financial security or to speculate on prices. Below are strategies and recommended dealers for each approach:

It does not makes sense to expect any major shake-up that would affect the pricing of gold and silver in a major way until at least January 2016 at which time the IMF is scheduled to meet to discuss the possible inclusion of the Chinese RMB in the basket of fiat currencies that make up the constituents of the U.S. Dollar Index. Let me explain why that is the case.
