The relationship between silver and the Dow is such that significant Dow peaks are often followed by significant silver rallies. It is for this reason that silver can provide a great opportunity to bank Dow profits and even grow them much bigger.

For as much as we favor - and expect - eventual higher prices for gold and silver, the charts do not indicate it will be any time soon. The following charts show you why.

We choose to focus on the charts because a reflection of developing market activity tells the most accurate and current story. It is not a promising one heading into 2015, however, but it is reality, and to expect anything else will lead to the same disappointments of 2013 and 2014. Forget the ego-driven predictions that have all proven wrong again and again, and deal with what is - and this article deals with what is by looking at the charts.

It can take some time for a trend to change course so being first in is not always the best situation. Let me explain further with the use of some enlightening charts on gold and silver.

Buckle in, stay the course and be sure to remain situationally aware. Now is not the time to look away. Continue to remain patient, diligent, yet patient. February will be a very exciting and consequential month.

Last fall, we said the rally in PMs would take longer than most expected. Expectations were unmet in 2013, and it is possible that 2014 may be no different... gold gives no indication of beginning a strong rally that will change the trend, any time soon and, while the next sustained bull market may well favor silver outperforming gold, silver may have to go lower before it can go higher. Let me explain why this is the case.

No matter what you hear or read about gold and the prospects for substantially higher price levels, the trend is down, exactly opposite of what you know. When you compare what you know, an opinion, with what the market is telling you, the market is a more accurate measure, however counter-intuitive it may be to your opinion, [and THIS is what the markets are saying].

Do not mess with Mother Nature! The natural law of supply and demand will always rise up from under the distorted efforts to contain it. The good news is that each passing week brings silver closer to its inevitable resolve: a powerful rally that will surpass all others.
