Silver

The fiat currency experiment will end badly in a currency crisis. The wealthiest people will be those who bought silver today and were smart enough to research and pick the best silver mining stocks.

In this article I’d like to focus on silver's attributes as compared to gold, make a case for holding some, and discuss some ultimate price possibilities.

If you’ve made an investment in physical precious metals, or even considered taking that step, the question of where to securely store it has surely come up. This article presents one important rule and a few simple strategies that can dramatically reduce the risk your stash is stolen.

Those who prefer silver always seem to think the ratio of gold to silver is going to reverse “soon” - and it might; maybe significantly so, too - but there are no fundamental reasons for the ratio to move up or down at any given time and, as such, there is no reason to track it, either.

I am increasingly bullish on the prospects for silver, for the following three primary reasons:

History says the silver surge is coming. It means we should hold on and make sure we have the amount of metal we want.

Someone said recently, “If you love gold then you absolutely have to love silver”. I disagree. The current weakness in price action in silver, relative to gold decisively rejects the unrealistic expectations of many silver investors and analysts.

Today’s infographic outlines some of the key supply and demand indicators that precede a coming gold-silver cycle in which the price of silver could move upwards.

The graphs below show that silver prices are too low based on five decades of history and via comparisons to national debt, the S&P 500 Index and gold. Expect silver prices to rise far higher in coming years as the over-leveraged financial system resets and rebalances.

The gold-to-silver ratio indicates whether gold or silver is undervalued or overvalued relative to each other. Many people believe the ratio should be roughly 16:1, since it was the level observed [over the] centuries, but this is nonsensical reasoning. Let me explain.
