Silver Stocks Offer Value

In our last editorial we showed a few charts of our junior gold and junior silver indices. Gold has moved well past its 2008 high and the same has happened with our junior gold index. Silver, at its recovery peak was within 7% off its 2008 high while our junior silver index was 25% off … Continue reading

Breaking Down The Charts: Gold and Silver

Here’s the monthly gold Comex chart. In my previous technical analysis in June, I made a few comments on how gold was to break the $1,300 level and climb to $1,500.

Silver: “Looking Good Billy Ray – Feeling Good Lewis!”

The bullish set up in silver (and gold) has turned insanely bullish. An astonishing amount of silver has been removed from the Comex warehouses over the past two weeks. Most of it from Scotia – who has unrefutedly been accused by many, including me, of operating a “fractional” bullion custodian operation – and from HSBC … Continue reading

This does not help a recovery process for housing or financials.  These are … Continue reading
