Silver

Once the grip of the fiat “dollar” gives way, and it is slowly losing ground, then the price for gold and silver will find their more natural value - and not until then. When might that happen? It could be weeks, it could be months, maybe even another year or two, but whenever it happens, it is more likely to be an overnight “adjustment.” Plan accordingly.

I believe that the Silver to Gold Ratio has peaked, making silver a compelling bargain relative to gold. From today’s vantage point it is difficult believing that the price of silver could ever equal or exceed the price of gold but, when one considers the possibilities, there are many good reasons to accumulate as much silver as possible at today’s prices.

In my opinion the "final financial shot' which leads to live financial fire (collapse) will be in either the gold or silver pits of the COMEX or, ultimately, both. Why? Because, at $20 per silver ounce, it would take only $1.2 billion to crack that market open like a watermelon; because, for a pittance of money in today's world, "trust" in the entire financial system of the West can be shattered. Some will say "big deal" or "who cares?" but it is a big deal and YOU should care!

With the likes of Ray Dalio and billionaire George Soros placing big bets on a recovery in precious metals now is likely the time for investors to take the plunge. The key question remains, however, which precious metal? My preference is silver. Here's why.

2014 could end up being the turnaround year for precious metals and a bull market ascent could develop in 2015 - especially so in gold shares. Here's why.

If you own and possess gold and silver, you've taken a big step toward securing financial protection for yourself and your family. The next, even more important, step is to then keep your mouth shut to protect your safety.

The market has not changed materially over the past many weeks/months and, as long as the market has not changed, expectations that the price of gold and silver should not change, either. Expectations are future hopes/plans that may or may not ever be realized. Present market conditions are the reality of what is, without getting into the mental gymnastics about the degree of reality reflected in the charts. Market activity trumps everything, and one works with that reality or risks substantial loss by favoring opinion/hopes/expectations. Below is what the charts are saying today.

Precious metals shares are breaking out again after a brief consolidation. It’s time to channel your inner Old Turkey, realize this is a bull market and act accordingly.

Despite the precious metal's recent rally, and though silver may be somewhat more interesting than gold, I'm not convinced that this is a market that most investors want to chase. Here's why.

Ignore those pundits who are saying PMs are ready to take off. If you apply a little bit of common sense, and you look at these charts, can you draw any other conclusion(s)? Always remember: the markets never lie and here is what they are saying.
