Silver

If you hold silver today, or if you intend to buy, you are now looking at one of those times in history when an investment is likely to make spectacular gains for an extended period of several years. 

What should prices be for silver in 5 years? Check out my model. Its correlation since 1971 is 0.91 with an R-Squared value of 0.83.

If you have not grasped the reality of what is likely to unfold over the next 6 to 12+ months in the global markets and that precious metals are the setup of the decade, then pay attention to the fact that gold and silver are poised for moves ranging from 40% to 240% over the next 12+ months depending on the scale and scope of this move...

Precious metals are looking like a great alternative these days given all the uncertainty - trade war, high corporate debt, high federal debt, possible negative interest rates, etc. - that exist in the economic environment out there. This article analyzes which metals to choose. The typical choices are gold, silver, and platinum.

The silver market is only 1/10th the size of the gold market so it’s prone to crisis-driven upside explosions as money floods into it during periods of high inflation and, today, the stage is set for an explosion in inflation. I expect it to kick off a crisis-driven mania into silver like what happened in 1980 and, adjusted for today’s prices, that means silver soaring above $160 a [troy] ounce.

If you are buying silver because you expect a recession will take its price higher, you are skating on thin ice. The expectation is fundamentally flawed and there is nothing historically to support the expectation for higher silver prices during recessions.

I know you are tired of me saying, “big patterns lead to big moves” but the charts to follow will show you exactly what I mean by that statement.

Lorimer Wilson has had the majority of his 5,600 articles over the past 10 years posted on 20 different sites including his own "site for sore eyes and inquisitive minds" but has managed to keep a low profile in the process. That being said, his timeless articles remain articles for the ages. Read on!

Silver peaked at $50 in the early 1980s, peaked again at $50 in 2011 but has declined 65% since then in a uniform falling channel. The recent move higher, however, sends a bullish message to Silver owners. Below are 2 charts that illustrate the situation.

Silver is now rarer than gold and will be for all of eternity. From this point forth we work from current silver production alone and, from this point forth, demand will outstrip production without exception. Can you imagine what that means for the future price of this, indeed, precious metal? Forget about the popular expression: 'Got gold?' The much more important - and potentially more profitable - question to ask these days is, 'Got silver?
