Silver

It is impossible to understand and appreciate the tremendous appeal of gold and silver without understanding the precise and comprehensive definition of the word "money". This article does just that.

While it is never too late to buy gold one look at the current gold:silver ratio clearly suggests that silver and/or the stocks and warrants of quality gold and silver miners and royalty companies are a MUCH better buy at their current prices than buying gold.

The current rally in gold & silver is but one of many steps in a bottoming formation. Each successive step confirms the one that came before. The next step will be to watch the next downward reaction to see how it unfolds in order to assess the significance of the rally over the past two weeks.

'Real money' must be a 'store of value, 'precious' or scarce, uniform and be evenly divisible which fiat money is NOT and gold and silver IS.

Predictions that a crash will occur in the fall of 2015 have been gaining traction bolstered by market events of this summer which suggest that something big is indeed unfolding....The question before investors now is whether the pessimists will be right.

The price of silver is significantly disconnected from its underlying fundamentals and, as such, is undervalued due to the actions of a handful of large speculators in the futures markets. This article identifies 3 such specific examples of such action.

The gold-silver ratio is the relative valuation of the two precious metals, and in consideration of the described trading pattern it can provide an indication of the maturity of a bull or bear cycle. Market tops for gold and silver are typically accompanied by low gold-silver ratios (silver outpacing to the upside), and market bottoms are typically accompanied by tops in the gold-silver ratio (silver outpacing to the downside). So what is the gold-silver ratio saying these days?
