David Morgan: Gold to Go Up 10-20% in 2013; Silver By a Good 30%

This article presents the highlights of a guest presentation Morgan made at a webinar organized by GoldCore with regard to the silver price outlook for 2013.

Silver’s bigger picture

David Morgan…kicked off his presentation with two long term silver price charts, both adjusted for inflation. The first of the two charts is based on the CPI as measured by the US government. The chart shows the peak price of silver in 1980 (adjusted for today’s inflation) which is $125. The upside potential for silver is clear. (Chart courtesy ShareLynx.com.)

Now it is often mentioned that silver touched $50 in 2011, speculating that it has passed its peak in the current bull market. The…[fact] of the…[matter] is that it was a one day event, and it happened only in the futures market. In the physical market for instance, there was a “bid back” situation, which means the buy / sell spread was very large (dealers were buying physical silver at $35 an ounce and selling at $50). Moreover, the fact that it took only one day, “does not make the market”.

When looking at the same chart taking the SGS inflation into account, we see a totally different picture. The SGS inflation uses the same calculation methodology as in 1980 and is calculated by Shadowstats.com. Obviously the government has changed their calculation methodology over the years. The SGS inflation adjusted chart makes the picture even more extreme. David Morgan explains that a move from today’s $33 to $100 would be a threefold move up, it is still significantly low compared to the historic peak. (Chart courtesy ShareLynx.com.)

Still, these prices are rather irrelevant as the price of precious metals reflects the value of currencies. In the extreme scenario where an infinite amount of money would be printed, the price of the metals could go to infinity (obviously a theoretical example). Instead, it makes more sense to look at the long term trend which is clearly up. David Morgan used several charts in that respect:

The long term silver price in all major currencies is shown in the following graph (courtesy of Silverprice.org). Mark O’Byrne shows the idea that silver is a store of wealth based on two examples:

  1. In 2008, while the financial crisis was raging, Sterling was under bigger pressure than the other currencies. You see on the graph that silver lost value in all currencies, except in Sterling.
  2. Likewise in 2011, the Indian Rupee came under high pressure. While the silver price had declined against all currencies, it did not in terms of Indian Rupees.

Outlook for the price of silver in 2013

Paper currencies are losing value over time, and today even more significantly than ever before. [Read: This Chart Proves That Your Currency Is Being Debauched At An Accelerating (Parabolic) Rate! Got Gold?] There is a probability that cash will become trash, which is against the general belief that cash is king (at least, in the current environment).

What is the bottom line for the outlook of the silver price in 2013?

David Morgan expects 2013 to be a bullish year, in which a new leg up will start. It will probably not go into an acceleration phase (like in the first part of 2011). It is reasonable to expect a rise of 10 to 20% in gold, and [a] good 30% in silver.

Questions & Answers

During the Q&A session, some interesting points were made related to silver’s outlook in 2013.

1. When will silver cross $50?

  • Answer from David Morgan: It is likely to happen in 2013. The next leg up is starting right now, although we probably will not see a substantial acceleration in the leg up. Obviously, as soon as $50 is crossed an acceleration can be expected. It remains difficult to forecast how fast the acceleration will be.

2. How much is silver currently undervalued (compared to the money supply)?

  • Answer from David Morgan: One of the realistic approaches would value [silver at] $700 an ounce. Source: a recent video from professor Ryan Jordan.

3. I keep my silver in the U.S.. Should I also store it outside the U.S.?

  • Answer from Mark O’Byrne: We advise clients not to store bullion in the U.S.. In fact, Switzerland remains the safest place in the world to store bullion.

This is not a typical bull market. Gold is not rising in value, but instead, currencies are losing purchasing power against gold and, therefore, gold can rise as high as currencies can fall. Since currencies are falling because of increasing debt, gold can rise as high as government debt can grow. Based on official estimates, America’s debt is projected to reach $23 trillion in 2015 and, if its correlation with the price of gold remains the same, the indicated gold price would be $2,600 per ounce. However, if history is any example, it’s a safe bet that government expenditure estimates will be greatly exceeded, and [this] rising debt will cause the price of gold to rise to $10,000…over the next five years.

Asset allocation is one of the most crucial aspects of building a diversified and sustainable portfolio that not only preserves and grows wealth, but also weathers the twists and turns that ever-changing market conditions can throw at it. However, while the average [financial] advisor or investor spends a great deal of time carefully analyzing and picking the right stocks or sectors, the basic and primary task of asset allocation is often overlooked.

9. Gold:Silver Ratio Suggests MUCH Higher Price of Silver in Next Few Years

Silver Bars

The majority of analysts are now of the opinion that gold will reach a parabolic peak price somewhere in excess of $5,000 per troy ounce in the next few years. Given the fact that the historical movement of silver is 90 – 95% correlated with that of gold suggests that a much higher price for silver can also be anticipated. Couple that with the fact that silver is currently greatly undervalued relative to its average long-term historical relationship with gold, silver could escalate dramatically in price over the next few years. How much? This article takes a look at historical gold:silver ratios and what attaining certain relationships would mean for the price of silver should specific price levels for gold be realized.

Silver Bars

Personally, based on the fundamentals at hand and the fact that Gold doubled its log channel around this point in the cycle; I expect Silver to bust up out of its log channel in 2013.  Initially, I look for Silver to reach the $60 to $68 level, first and hold open the possibility for Silver to do much more on the upside as the 70’s Silver Chart reflects.
