"There's no question these are dangerous times and the financial world is in uncharted waters," caution resource experts Mary Anne and Pamela Aden.
In The Aden Forecast, the sisters offer an exceptional in-depth discussion on inflationary vs. deflationary foreces, their outlook for precious metals, and their top gold and silver positions for long-term investors.
"The global financial system is on very thin ice, teetering on collapse. Global central banks clearly are literally pulling ou
I don't think people realize silver is needed for electricity energy, making it an inelastic commodity. Pure silver is the best conductor of heat and electricity of all known metals, even moreso than copper.
As China and other emerging economies continue infrastructure building, developing the Detroits, Houstons, Chicagos of China, these cities will expand the demand for electricity. More importantly, the liquidity tightening is keeping small companies from getting financing to expand production, which is crimping silver supply. More demand + less supply = pricing power.
With no signs of relief from the latest round of the ongoing financial crisis and global equity market meltdown this week, the accompanying five-day chart highlights a stock and some funds registering impressive gains in the face of massive losses in former blue chips and mega-cap stocks such as AIG. Thanks to the biggest one-day gain ever for gold today, SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) lead the gainers with an advance exceeding 15% over the last five days. As investors flee to traditional safe havens such as U.S. Treasury Bon

The accompanying tables present an overview and statistics for a Global Metal and Mineral Mining Index of 78 companies with market caps over $1 billion US Dollars. All companies in this index must derive the majority of their revenues from the following activities: the exploration, mining, extraction, processing, and sale of all types of preciou
Dollar is at very high and is bound to fall within next 6 months. When it falls, both Gold and Silver will increase but silver's gain will outpace gold's gain. Silver's supply is also tight and fundamental of this metal looks great.
Risk: In short term, as dollar still grows stronger, both gold and silver will fall further. But in long term, gain outweighs the risk.
A couple of recent events led me to write this post. First, I received a request on one of my earlier posts on Gold, to give my take on Silver. Why not? After all, Gold and Silver have been the choicest possessions of men and women over centuries. Be it any civilization, any era, the fascination for these pretty, shiny things has captivated and motivated one and all.
Next, some friends and I had a deep discussion on the future of precious metals, given our current economic condition. So here’s what I’ve got to say about Gold and Silver:
7/2 - "U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke ignored the warnings of most economists last week, and kept the benchmark Federal Funds rate at 2%, far below the actual rate of inflation.
As a result of this non-move, investors can probably look forward to having the global commodities boom continue for at least a while longer."
"The reason for this intense advance in commodity prices is that the Fed and its European counterpart have been pumping money into their respective economies to prevent the collapse of several major banks...In the key emerging markets, the money supply has be...
Using a proprietary "volume reversal" trading strategy, Mark Leibovit has been consistently ranked among the top newsletter timers. In his VRTrader, he looks at the outlook for stocks, oil, gold & silver -- and offers his choice for exchange-traded funds for traders to play these markets.
Leibovit explains, "The stock market's decline, besides being huge, is relentless. Every rally was met with selling and fresh lows were soon hit. The Dow crashed through the March and January lows and is now trading at its lowest
Last November, a novel, if somewhat relativistic, case was made for silver here
("What's Better: Gold or Silver?") Back then,
the gold/silver ratio was 55-to-1, a level some observers thought to be a little
rich.<!--more--> Simply put, silver was too cheap relative to gold.
Turns out these pundits were right. By early March, gold's multiple had
shrunk to 47x when silver's price topped $20 per ounce.
In a week where all the three major averages
dropped 2.5% and many good picks all of a sudden became bad, the Basic
Materials sector was the strongest.
Silver continues to go higher and higher, it just hit a 19 year record. We are short, it is our biggest short, and we continue to feel this move is EXTREMELY over done. In the last two weeks it is up close to 20%. In the last two months it is up close to 44%. In the last four months it is up close to 77%. We never expected it to go to this level, and feel it will pullback overtime.
1."Silver is a precious metal" -Yes I know it is kinda obvious but then I am outlining my case for silver.
2. Investment demand is only 5 % right now.
3.This is a point I read somewhere else on the internet(Thank you whoever wrote the article-I honestly don't remember where I read this)-silver jewelery is cheaper compared to gold jewelery so silver will remain affordable.
like gold and other commodities, i'm expecting them all to do very well this year. This is because people will run for the hills when they feel that the strength of the $USD isn't as strong as they'd like. smart money may move out of the equities/bond markets and find their ways into commodities and the like. silver will play it's own game in accordance to gold, but both will be very nice investments in the months to come.
