Robert Kiyosaki : Gold and Silver are pretty safe bets

Robert Kiyosaki is not buying Gold and Silver right now but he is still bullish on them : No , but that does not mean I am not bullish on Gold and Silver , the problem with Gold and Silver I say it again I can't borrow money to buy three million dollar worth of gold I have to use my money I won't use debt , other people's money , number two there is no cash flow from that I don't have income from it so and If I have to sell it I have to pay 28 percent in tax , I'd rather put my money on oil project where I got 28 percent tax break right away , that makes more sense to me , at the same time I am still now investing in copper and natural gas because they are all time lows ...when something starts to move like gold and silver I am on to the next venture should I say , and I made my money in gold and silver , I made enough ....when asked if it is safer to buy silver now Robert Kiyosaki says : you should have bought it when it was three bucks that's when I bought so...look I want to say this : I do not like gold and silver simply because of the tax issue in it , if you buy an ETF like SLV or GLD you pay 28 percent tax that's because the government does not like gold and silver because they rather have you play with their dollars their fraudulent US Dollars the counterfeit money , so gold and silver is good and when I say to most people who don't now anything , gold and silver are better than saving money cash , another thing is this , when I look at the world I look at ten year increment here's 2010 going into 2020 those ten year period , in those coming ten years 85 million baby boomers start to retire that's approximately a hundred trillion dollars in social security and medicare the question I have for you : can Obama or the US Congress and the senate can they solve a hundred trillion dollars deficit , I say no they can't so that's why I'll continue to buy gold and silver if I have an extra cash that's what I do ..I love my country I just do not trust my leaders I don't think they are going to solve this problem democrats republicans independent Buddhists christian Hindu Jewish I do not care they can't solve this problem ...China is in a massive problem right now ...so it is not what the politicians are gonna do , it is what you gonna do about it right now , so if you don't know much Gold and Silver are pretty safe bets but not from the tax side from the capital gain side simply because the United States is in a very serious financial trouble and I do not think republicans or democrats are gonna fix the problem...I think we are going down , I think the dollar is going to dive and that's why I am in oil production I am in rental real estate because people have to have a roof over their head and silver has already made its move but it still has more to go I think I do not think 200 dollars silver is out of line but I have already bought it at 4 dollars ,5 dollars 7 dollars I bought as high as 17 dollars then I stopped if you read my blogs I said buy Silver under twenty and sure enough in the last year it has got up a 145 percent went right past twenty...

Gold, Silver Futures Slump in New York as Dollar Strengthens Against Euro

Another bad day today for the precious metals , The price of silver losing a further 8%, gold sinking back to the $ 1,500 level. The prices of silver and gold have recorded significant losses today. The CME Group the company that manages the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange), has announced two further increases of the initial deposit required to secure transactions on the futures on silver. The news sparked a new shower of precious metals sales. The expiring July futures on silver at the NYMEX closed in fall of 8% to $ 36.24 an ounce. It was the strongest drop in session since December 2008. Since last Friday the price of silver has lost 25.4%. The gold futures expiring in June ended in a fall of 2.2% to $ 1,481.40 an ounce. It's been three weeks that the gold price did not close at these levels. To add to downward pressure on the precious metal was now also the strong recovery of the dollar. The greenback has appreciated against the euro by about 2%. The jump in the dollar weighed on all commodities in general.

Dollar going up? Silver & Gold going DOWN? The Market manipulation continues

The bigger this sham gets the harder its going to fall and the higher Silver and Gold prices will go .Silver and gold are the only monetary units worth considering. That is why Silver and Gold are a manipulated market - to give the appearance of confidence in fiat currencies, not precious metals.Stick with the silver.With paper the banks have an advantage of being flexible with time and inflation contraction. Metals are not a scheme they are honest measures and you have to keep that in mind that honesty doesn't win all battles just the wars. Doubt the USD will stay intact. It's having a bounce. What's that mean? China buys more silver.  They are big enough to move the market. They also want it cheap too so they want the USD strong and silver cheap for now. Sometime soon enough the USD will sink hard, maybe with more world turmoil and silver will more than make up for lost time. Their whole game is deception,,making make the wrong move. The USD could go all the way to 77, but the Euro likely would be dropping at the same time. So Europeans will be getting into metals then and pushing the price up along with China. I think the Euro may be junk pretty soon now. There are many forces involved, but there is too much infighting in the E.U.

Gold/Silver Rising on Central Bank Buying -11/05/11

Physical silver market vs paper silver market

physical silver market and paper silver market are now two different markets. As is gold. No more tie. Never will again. Physical silver will continue to climb as scarcity becomes acute. Then what! Free for all. China sopping up all available physical silver. No limit to how much paper silver you can print. What can you do with it?  Make paper airplanes I guess.


All roads seem to lead to Soros....the move in Silver and timing was done masterfully...silver will still return 18%-20% annually on average over the next 5 years at the minimum despite volatility and cartel attacks...sure beats the banks.
JPM JP Morgan Chase , HSBC are naked short on a 45 to one (nine to one is normal) Silver they are naked they can't deliver so they have decided they are gonna drive the price down as far as they could , and what they did , and here remember that Morgan is the biggest share holder in the Federal Reserve Bank , and HSBC Goldman Sachs Citi Group they're all involved , and they're the owners of the FED , they told the CME which owns the COMEX to raise margin requirements never in history have they raised them five times in nine days , now if that's not rigging the market I do not know what it is ...and I have been for 29 years in the brokerage business on top of that what they did is they called all the major commodity brokers and told them they wanted them to recommend that commodities be sold especially gold and silver , and to double the internal margin in their firms ....that wiped out every small investors in commodities and gold and silver and many of the middle sized ones and this is what they did one of the biggest market manipulations of all times , billions of dollars were lost ...The moral of the story is: if you own physical there is nothing they can do to you...the Federal Reserve as "Federal" as Federal Express can try all day to manipulate the price but Ben Bernanke is not going to be able to touch your personal stash. Now when you start playing the casino of silver paper contracts then you open yourself up to the whims of the banksters. I will never sell my physical stash.

Is This 1980 all over again for Silver ?

Some people may think : this is just like 1980 all over again and that silver price will now collapse just as it did in 1980. In 1980 silver prices rose to a height of $48.70/oz from their normal price of $5/oz.Silver prices increased ten times their previous levels.There was a was high fuel costs and terrible inflation. People wanted to change their paper money into hard assets like silver. This started driving prices up and up. At the same time the Hunt brothers, oil tycoons from Texas, bought two hundred million ounces of silver options and futures. This caused terrible shortages and drove prices sky high.The brothers were estimated to hold one third of the entire world supply of silver.But on January 7, 1980, came the response of The COMEX the exchange rules regarding leverage were changed , The COMEX adopted "Silver Rule 7" placing heavy restrictions on the purchase of commodities on margin . As a consequence The price of Silver dropped 50% in just four days , The Hunt brothers who had borrowed heavily to finance their purchases, lost one Billion dollars (but their fortune survived) , Does not this look so similar to what happened last week with the CME  raising the margin requirements 5 times in nine days ? ,  the truth is that the amount of money the FED have printed up since 1980 is ten times higher, so if we adjust for inflation, the peak price from 1980 should be more like $500/oz. in today's dollars and not just $49 . What this tells us is that silver is still very very undervalued and as Mike Maloney told Max Keiser in an interview this morning "silver has yet to exceed its 1980 High we came within a breath of it but it hasn't exceeded its 1980 high , can you name one thing on this planet that is still selling at a discount to its 1980 price !?"

silver has yet to exceed its 1980 High , can you name one thing on this planet that is still selling at a discount to its 1980 price

Mike Maloney : as far as the sell-off goes I really do not care , well actually I do I am hoping silver will go down a little bit more because I want to buy more , I want a lot more . silver has yet to exceed its 1980 High we came within a breath of it but it hasn't exceeded its 1980 high , can you name one thing on this planet that is still selling at a discount to its 1980 price !? ...
the dollar is on its death bed , the Euro is on the verge of break out , people do not realize that every 30 to 40 years the world has a new monetary system , the dollar is doomed , gold is going to go to infinity so is silver, measuring gold and silver in dollar is idiotic , gold is not anywhere near a bubble , silver is money just like gold , the dollar is a currency not money ....when gold and silver are in the run away it means that the death of the currency is right around the corner , the Hunt brothers were used as the sacrificial lamb to save the US Dollar , the precious metals always always win

Robert Kiyosaki Is Predicting A $6,000/oz. Silver In The Next Few Years

Due to decades of industrial consumption depleting world inventories, there is remarkably little silver remaining above ground . Most people still have no clue about the potential for the silver metal price.Robert Kiyosaki made the following future silver price prediction of $6,000 during an interview on FTM Daily in November. An estimated one billion ounces of silver bullion equivalent exists above ground today that is shockingly small amount of silver especially when you compared to the amount of money and credit in the world trillions and trillions dollars will be chasing silver bullion

Reasons to Be Bullish on Silver

Silver is a MUST for a modern Hightech economy

Golds great its REAL MONEY (just like Silver) because it cant be printed at will by Criminal Banksters

But Silver is also KEY to Technology

Silver is the ONLY THING KNOWN THAT CAN KILL VIRAL PATHOGENS (and it works BETTER than Anti-Biotics on Bacterial ones)...Stop into your local GNC HEALTHFOOD STORE and pick up a bottle of their "Silver Biotics" and check it out!

Once the world understands this Silver will be values HIGHER THAN GOLD
Silver would be easy to use for change and would be easier to dispose of when trading. It is not a matter of if the dollar will crash but when. When it does crash the blackmarket economy will flourish because goods will be scarce and expensive. Silver and gold will be recognized as a barter medium that is stable.
Until Silver trades at some LOGICAL LEVEL to Gold it has a TON Of Catch to do.

I mean just look at the data from the world mines.The simple FACT is that we only pull 10 ounces of Silver out of the ground for every ounce of Gold.

So....at the least..Silver should trade at 1/10th the price of Gold. (that would be around $150 buck right now rather than $35)

Nevermind the FACT that we CONSUME FAR MORE SILVER Than we can mine every year and there is thus LESS SILVER ABOVE GROUND THAN GOLD
silver will always out perform gold in a bull metal market.
Silver is about to explode.

How about the fact there is 2 Billion Ounces of Gold worldwide compared to 1 Billion Ounces of Silver?

Even better than that is the Illegal 50% shorting of all Silver mined by JP Morgan and other banks that the CFTC Chairman will soon be ending.

This is 3 to 4 times more than the Hunts Brothers held long positions in the 70's that drove Silver to $80 an ounce.

The Silver Crash - caused by manipulation not The Market

Silver has declined significantly this week in response to equity requirement hikes in commodities margin accounts. This has triggered a massive margin call wave resulting in heavy liquidations. The tightening of trading credit will effectively quell inflation, even in the face of a rising debt limit and possible default on US bonds, and may revitalize the economy.They just raised the margin on silver...that tell me that they are afraid of silver. It tells me that silver is good, but physical. Asia do not buy the paper fraud they are accumulating physical, Westerners' do the same thing!!!!!! The CME was told by the Us Government to do what they did to break the back of the precious metals market , now you have to put up five times as much money as you did 9 days ago and that's not true for the short-side of the market , those shorting have to put two times ...what happened is unprecedented and illegal..

Daniel Fisher : this is so fast and so ridiculous, it's -- i can't even fathom these markets because when you watch silver move during the day, even if you're on the right side of the trade, the speed at which it's going on, it's unfathomable. i mean, the truth is these moves down, the corrections are all so overexaggerated by all the high frequency trading that ifru just slowed down we wouldn't see oil down 10 bucks today, wouldn't see brent trading down, you know, down below. Daniel, it's joe. when you talk about high frequently trading in the commodities space, people know about high frequency trading and stocks. how does it work in the futures mark? i mean, it's a similar deal. you have computers that are running each other in essentially. bidding and offering at the same time and they know when the large orders are coming so when you see a big sale in oil coming in, 100 lots, computers know they are coming and they essentially front run the order, and they front run each other and just run each other in. it's too fast and it's just unsustainable for the markets to even control.

The manipulation in the silver market right know this is crazy. The price dropped almost 4 dollars in under 7 hours I have been watching the price since I got home from work about 3. The price went from 44. 21 to 40.60 in under 7 hours, the made 4 heavy drops hitting the 40.60 mark. We had 44.21 down to 42.52 from there down to 41.38 another big drop to 40.76 bottoming out at 40.60. Now it bounced around a little in between but sank fast. After it hit 40.76 it struggled back up to 41.83 before it bottomed at the 40.60 mark an hour and a half later I HAVE TANGIBLE PYHSICAL SILVER. Just look outside the scenarios that have been laid out by the major news outlets and paper shoppers and see for yourself what is really going on with silver. Go on the major online dealers websites and which ones you go to I don't not care you will see the truth about silver it is extremely hard to obtain physical right now. The U.S. mint is not currently making silver eagles, the major dealers and local dealers all have delays on eagles and a lot of other bars and rounds have a wait or in a sense backorder on eagles and one oz.

The government is controlled by the owners of the FED , they want to get people back to the traditional paper market ....last week silver margins were increased by the CME twice by twenty percent today they raised them again by another thirty percent , which is a psychological factor in this market because most of the people in the market are big hitters , they don't buy three of five contracts they buy three hundreds or five hundreds or three thousands or five thousands that's the kind of market this is ....the CME owns the COMEX and so they are the ones who make the rules and these rules come from the treasury department and of course these people in the exchanges very well know that ..it's easy to identify what they are doing if you've been in the brokerage business for 29 years like I was says Bob Chapman of the International Forecaster , the FED is owned by banks Europeans as well as Americans the biggest share holder is JP Morgan Chase followed by City Group and Goldman Sachs and a host of others and some of them are foreigners , the government is controlled by the owners of the FED they control the treasury

Peter Schiff : now it's a good time to buy Silver



Peter Schiff :...I would say that the moves over the last couple of weeks have been largely driven by speculators but overall the entire bull market NO , i mean it's driven by the fundamentals , Silver is not rising because there are speculators it's because silver is rising that's why there are speculators they are attracted to the bull market but they are not causing it , but certainly at a certain point speculators will add a volatility , we had a huge move up before this correction , it's hardly crashing I mean silver is at $40 dollars an ounce it's right back to its trend line , I think it's a good buy right now not only for long term holders like me , if you are a short term trader if you are fast money guy I do not think there is a lot left to this correction i think there is more upside now just to re catch the fifty level .....

Peter Schiff : ...nothing goes up on a straight line silver had certainly gone ahead of itself the gold silver ratio was way in silver's favor in a very short period of time , so it makes sense that we have a pull back especially from a level like fifty ($50/oz) which was the record high going back to 1980 so it certainly makes sense that we got a pull back ..now the catalyst could have been Bin Laden but Peter Schiff doubts it that could be a coincidence a lot of time the markets look for any kind of catalyst to do what they want to do anyway and it's clear that a lot of speculators got into the market

Golden Opportunity to buy Physical Silver

The news of the killing of Osama Bin Laden has only temporarily slowed the price of gold. The yellow metal futures expiring in June ended today, rising 0.1% to $ 1,557.10 an ounce. The gold price has been supported by further weakening the dollar. The price of silver has held its exceptional rather abruptly to rise. The futures maturing in July has lost 5.2% to $ 46.08 an ounce. During the meeting, the silver price has come down by 13%, the biggest intraday drop since October 2008. The CME Group , the company that manages the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange), has decided to increase for the second time in a week the initial deposit required to secure transactions on the futures on silver. The measure has forced many small speculators to close their positions.this pullback in silver price is a Golden Opportunity to buy Physical Silver

Silver the Osama Effect

Silver gained 500% in two years

NOT ALL that glitters is gold, but silver is another matter Silver always shines despite today's correction . Paraphrasing one of the most abused proverbs, that could be the summary of what happened today in the markets and, in particular, on the commodities market. since the Announcement by the U.S. authorities of the killing of Osama Bin Laden, all commodities prices have started to decline . But the psychological effect on players did not last long, because analysts have noted that the death of Osama - as in the top of the wanted list - is not enough by itself to declare the end of the Muslim-inspired terrorism. Much more important, at this moment, it would not end of the war  in Libya. Thus, gold and crude oil have already rebounded late in the morning, coinciding with the decline of European stock exchanges, which is then accentuated after the start of Wall Street.

But not all commodities have followed the path of gold and oil. That was thew case of silver. Traders have sold futures on precious metals with both hands and in the early stages of the session options causing the silver price to plunge by 12%, the largest decline in its history! . There was then a recovery in the rest of the day, but prices have remained in negative territory.

But how to interpret the trend of the price of silver? The negative reaction is
explained by the fact that silver is one of the more sought after by industry and arms traders, in the early hours after the announcement of the death of Osama,The markets thought that there may be a slowdown in demand for military equipment. In fact, demand is already falling for some time because of the crisis of sovereign debt (states must cut the budget and do so even in the defense sector).

The answer, then, is, as often happens, in a speculative movement. From the lows of 2008 to $ 8.453 per ounce of silver has doubled its value ($ 17,960 / oz) last August, and then accelerate up to $ 49.831 (new top for the last 31 years) just last Monday, with an appreciation almost 500% in two and a half years. The precious metal, which in recent years has suffered a deterioration in demand for industrial use (especially in the field of photography with the advent of digital technology), now seems destined to have a new life. The silver industrial demand may increase due to new uses in the field of photovoltaic solar panels.

In addition, it should be noted that silver is a safe haven by excellence, given its chronic shortage: the world demand exceeded the annual production since 1990.

Silver crashed because Osama Died?!?!?!?

Silver prices tumbled on Monday, making their biggest loss since late 2008 by news that al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed in a U.S.-led operation in Pakistan .Osama Bin Laden is dead, President Obama announced Sunday night, in a televised address to the nation.Seems those of us in the PM camp are a little unimpressed with the Osama news, in fact, most seem a little skeptical given the huge, suspicious drop in silver prices ,price is what it was 7 days ago so I look the dip as nothing but a useless attempt to manipulate silver when most markets were offline. The have done nothing but won themselves back 7 days of hikes.This is a great opportunity to buy more silver as the price is not going to stay this low for long time I believe ....

Eric Sprott : the real story now is silver

In an interview with the Canadian newspaper The Glob and Mail Eric Sprott Chairman, CEO & Portfolio Manager of Sprott Asset Management said that he believed that Silver is the real story now and it will out perform Gold :     "I think gold is the reserve currency today. There is not a currency in the world that it hasn't appreciated against by at least 300 per cent. And it has beaten every stock market. You can't even rent a safety deposit box in Germany because they are all full of gold and silver ... I am pretty convinced that gold will go a lot higher because it is under-owned as only 1 per cent of people's money is in it. It could go to $2,000 an ounce. I could imagine it at $5,000. I am not giving a time frame on that, but I could certainly see that happening. But the real story now is silver. Gold has traded at a ratio of 16-to-1 to silver in terms of price, but today it trades in the range of 50 to 1. I think the gold-to-silver ratio is going to go back to 16 to 1 given the passage of time, say three to five years. And I bet you that silver overshoots. The gold-to-silver ratio may even get down to 10 to 1. I believe that the price of silver has been suppressed."

James Turk : the silver physical market is very tight

James Turk on Goldseek Radio 26 Apr 2011

the silver physical market is very tight says James Turk of goldmoney.com : I am anticipating a waterfall decline of the dollar in not a very distant future , as we are getting close to June when the FED have to decide whether to stop the Quantitative easing or stop it , but the reality is I do not see how they can stop Quantitative easing says James Turk ,and they are afraid to get off , giving that the politicians in Washington continue to spend like there is no tomorrow that debt got to be financed somewhere and it is going to be financed by the printing press that's very very inflationary , ...the market ios tight it has been tight for quite some time and silver remains in backwardation where the spot month is higher than the futures contracts in December 2015 and that's about a 65 cent backwardation which is very very rare event but it's an indication of how tight the physical market is , what's happening here is that the paper market is becoming less important as a price discovery mechanism , and people are putting more emphasis on the physical market , so when you look at valuing the physical metal you hold do not look at the paper market look at the physical market what thee deals are actually doing and you'll see that actually the market is very very tight ...and you have backwardation concessions in silver these are likely to continue....

Jim Rogers : Silver going to over $100 an ounce

Jim Rogers : ...the thing that caught people's attention is that gold was going up so much that's the wrong way to invest , Look I own gold I own silver but where were these guys five years ago ten years ago that's when they should have ben doing all of this (buying huge amounts of silver) unfortunately for all of us most investors do not notice something until there is nice bull market in place such as with gold and silver , after ten years of price rises in gold people are starting to notice ...and yes there will be more people buying gold eventually everybody is going to own gold and then we will have to sell our gold but that's a long way from now ....
If silver continues a parabolic move I have to worry , all parabolic bubbles pops at the end , unless there is a currency crash , if silver goes up to $150 without a currency collapse I would worry says Jim Rogers


Jim Rogers started trading the stock market with $600 in 1968.In 1973 he formed the Quantum Fund with the legendry investor George Soros before retiring, a multi millionaire at the age of 37. Rogers and Soros helped steer the fund to a miraculous 4,200% return over the 10 year span of the fund while the S&P 500 returned just 47%.

Peter Schiff : if you look at the amount of silver in the earth versus gold and I think the ratio there is about 17 to one , I think silver is going to continue to gain on gold as this bull market continues to unfold , I think we have many many years left to go , I ultimately think that you will see a gold / silver ratio below 20 ,right now is more like about 35 , but when this bull market started I think the ratio was about 60 , now I have been buying silver for about ten years when I started buying it it was 5 dollars an ounce at the time gold was about 250 , 260 dollars an ounce both the precious metals have gone up , but silver has gone up more and if i am right and this bull market continues I expect silver to keep outperforming at my metals company I have been recommending people would have two third gold one third silver for long time obviously people that did that right now they might have fifty fifty because silver has gained on gold even though both metals have risen , and the reason that's happening is because Ben Bernanke is debasing the value of the dollar , r i fact central banks all around the world are too loose they are creating too much money and so people all around the world are buying gold and silver as a store of value and I think that that will continue ....

The Hunt brothers, marked the history of the silver market

During the seventies in the U.S. the economy was characterized by a rising rate of inflation. The Hunt family, one of the richest families in Texas, decided to protect itself from the perspective of the dollar devaluation. Since U.S. laws prohibited the possession of gold, the brothers William Herbert and Nelson Bunker Hunt put all their bets of the silver and started accumulating all the silver that they can put their hands on. Back then In 1973 the silver price was $ 1.5 an ounce.
In 1979, the hoarding of metal accelerated thanks to interest from wealthy Arab traders. The prices began to rise, reaching $ 5. Thanks to the leveraging of significant quantities of futures contracts, the ascent became, in early 1980, unstoppable. The group headed by the Texans brothers now controlled 200 million ounces, an amount equal to about half of silver available in the world spot market.The prices soared to $ 52 an ounce. The huge bull run seemed successful.
But The Hunt brothers did not taken into account the reaction of the U.S. government which intervened dramatically raising margins on futures contracts on the 'COMEX' known as Commodity Exchange, Inc., a division of the NYMEX located in New York where contracts on aluminum, copper, silver and gold are treated. Thereby creating forced selling by fragile speculators who were in the bullish buying game through leverage. The same Hunt were overwhelmed.

In The COMEX traders still remember with concern the tragic day of 27 March 1980 which saw the incredible drop in the price of silver from 21.60 to $ 10.80. A drop of 50% in a few hours.

David Morgan on The Financial Sense Newshour 22 Apr 2011 :
Silver guru David Morgan explains what's may be driving the gold and silver market rally , the COMEX and the FED could conspire again in order to bring the silver price down ,Dave Morgan heavily promotes hold physical first and then to speculate in mining stock . Remember the hunt bros. 30 years ago they bought silver for $50 ,They will never see there money again. If silver rises too fast, their iron fisted rule will be over because gold will explode and the dollar will implode. So, they have absolutely every motivation and resource to artificially suppress the price of silver, yet it went up 70%+ last year. Confirmation of shortages, complete inversion (backwardation) of the futures market-Clearly, something is going on in the silver market.

Silver to outperform Gold in the coming years

The silver price is driven by inflation fears, the demands of industry and new forms of investment easier to negotiate.Pushing the silver price to exceeded $ 46 an ounce last week.The deflationary fears and the use of QE by the FED as a tool to stimulate exports devaluing the dollar, have pushed investors to diversify their assets, in activities to protect their wealth. The falling dollar has raised the price of silver to its maximum of the last 31 years.
While it is often called the gold of the poor, there are a number of factors that can raise the price of silver to outperform gold in the coming years. Unlike gold, silver is used in many industrial applications and in fact almost half of the silver mined goes for the industrial use. These applications include silver alloys used in batteries, electronic applications requiring a higher conductivity (such as televisions and microwave ovens) and as a catalyst for chemical reactions.
a lot of silver is still used in photography as well as jewelry and silverware. Silver also is becoming the metal used in solar panels because of its reflectivity of the light and its excellent conductivity.
With China at the forefront of solar technology, the demand for silver is growing while exports fell by 64%. China is the third largest producer of silver, with almost 13% of world production in 2009. China the third largest producer, preceded by Peru and Mexico have decided to reduce its silver export and it has instead become a net importer of silver . China's decision to reduce exports to meet growing domestic demand was one of the factors to push silver price higher
The report "World Silver Survey 2010, produced by the research company GFMS estimates that unless further developments in the cycle, supply / demand, the market will feature silver, worldwide, by an excess of supply, but this surplus of supply will be completely absorbed by the investment sector which remains the major driver to support the price of silver. The study of Gold-Silver ratio, the ratio between gold and silver price, suggests that silver in the future may make further progress and perform better. The relationship between gold and silver price is currently around 37, while in the past has averaged around 60.
The popularity of gold has brought the price of gold to rise to the highest of all time, investors begin to worry that the gold has become too expensive, so the price of silver began to be attractive as a Financial investment .

Stephen Leeb on Goldseek Radio 20 Apr 2011 : ...what I am more concerned about to be honest with you is what going on with Silver market and rare earth market says Stephen Leeb these markets are up more than 30 percent since the Japanese Earthquake and the nuclear accident , I do not think it is coincidental I really think it is recognition that silver and rare earth are going to be in tremendous demand because they are central to renewable energy , and if the nuclear is going to take a back seat even in China where they will still go forward pretty aggressively with nuclear they're really got to be more conscious of the risks that means a lot more solar a lot more wind a lot more rare earth a lot more silver , I would not be surprise that the Chinese are behind the Silver market move Stephen Leeb added ...or a major part of it , if that's the case I would guess the silver will go much more higher ....Silver price will go exponential

Jim Rogers we will see Triple digits Silver this year

Jim Rogers : ...the thing that caught people's attention is that gold was going up so much that's the wrong way to invest , Look I own gold I own silver but where were these guys five years ago ten years ago that's when they should have ben doing all of this (buying huge amounts of silver) unfortunately for all of us most investors do not notice something until there is nice bull market in place such as with gold and silver , after ten years of price rises in gold people are starting to notice ...and yes there will be more people buying gold eventually everybody is going to own gold and then we will have to sell our gold but that's a long way from now ....
If silver continues a parabolic move I have to worry , all parabolic bubbles pops at the end , unless there is a currency crash , if silver goes up to $150 without a currency collapse I would worry says Jim Rogers . All bubbles have poped'. Yes true, however I disagree with Jim Rogers on calling this a bubble , this is not a bubble, even with silver at 250$. What is the alternative to the dollar? Gold and Silver, there is nothing else. It's the dollar bubble that is poping, not silver exploding.Silver is MONEY not a commodity , when you buy silver you preserve your wealth , your wealth in form of silver did not change it is the dollar that is dropping like a rock day after day...

There is less than one once of silver per Chinese, and much less silver than gold. Silver can only go to the moon..please continue hoarding Silver ....



by 2019 Silver will be very rare if current mining is anything to go by then you'll be looking at astronomical levels of many thousands of dollars. Remember Palladium hit $10,000 an oz when that went through a rarity period. Silver is needed more than ever in industry but more importantly the new technologys and energy industry coming forth like Solar. Study Desertec and what they have planned for the Sahara when Gaddafi is bugged off thanks to KING JUAN CARLOS.

Silver Investment Demand Exploding in China

The Guangzhou Daily reported that a man went into a local bullion dealer in Guangzhou and bought 10 million RMB worth of physical silver. This amount converts to roughly $1.5 million USD. This Chinese investor and his assistants brought in eight suitcases full of cash to complete the transaction. I wanted to point out about physical silver is - market price - paper silver has a price determined by the banks, where as real silver has a price determined by the market. With physical silver you can refuse to sell for a particular price and try to find a different buyer whereas with bank silver there is a fixed price and all buyers are considered to be the same. They "make" the market.

Silver Will Outperform Gold by 400% in 2011 ?

So far silver is outperforming gold by a large margin , Silver has been the best-performing precious metal in 2011 so far  rising up 40 percent since January. The secret is Silver is not just a precious metal it is also an industrial metal , the best conductor of electricity amongst all metals , Industrial companies are buying silver by the tons , today about 40% of silver is used industrially - in solar batteries, water purification systems, computers ,cellphones, circuit boards, plasma TVs and also RFIDs  radio frequency identification devices .By 2015, it's estimated that global industrial demand for silver ,mostly  driven by China and India  will increase by 36%, from 487 million ounces in 2010, to 666 million ounces.  add this to the shortage in supply and you have an idea how high the silver prices will go . Eric Sprott is right in saying " Silver is The Investment of this decade " Eric Sprott runs one of the largest hedge funds in Canada his PSLV (silver) Sprott Physical Silver Trust since it was launched October 29th 2010 it has increased by over 75% in value , IPO at $10/Share now trading at $17/Share .Eric Sprott believes that it is the man in the street who is driving the demand for silver for example the US mint this year has sold as many dollars in silver coins as it has sold in silver coins but the prices are different by 38 to 1 which really means that the common guy is buying Silver the reason silver going up is because of savers Eric says people want to rather own a hard asset than a paper asset there is also the industrial demand and the fear factor related to QE1 , QE2 and a possible QE3 it is not just about the weakness of the dollar , a lot of people are losing confidence in the Euro the Yen and of course the dollar We are still far away from a bubble Eric explains the precious metal ownership is still less than 1 percent so there is no mania going on as of yet , Eric dos not believe that interest rates have anything to do with the silver rally so even if the FED raises its rates it won't affect the rally what's driving it is the lack of faith in the currency , Sprott believes that Silver will dramatically outperform Gold over the next 5 years he calls the next decade the Silver's decade while the last decade was Gold's decade

SILVER $44.02 GOLD $1496.80

Silver was quoted at $43.11 an ounce against $42.99, having earlier touched a new 31-year high at $44.02 an ounce. Silver has been the best-performing precious metal so far this year, up 40 percent since January.


Spot Gold prices rallied toward record highs approaching the $1,500 an ounce mark today amidst inflation concerns in China the dollar decline, rising crude oil prices unrest in the middle east , worries about sovereign debt problems in Europe and the Standard & Poor's downgrading its credit outlook for the United States Gold hits an all-time high of $1498.9 At the New York market.While In London, prices are stable at $1493.9 .Gold is still far below its all-time inflation-adjusted high, estimated at almost $2,500 an ounce, Many experts see Gold hitting the $2000 mark before the end of this year

Silver Storage Confirmed Scam

Physical Silver Storage Confirmed Scam so be careful and go get your physical silver now



Bill who purchased some 5000 ounces of silver in January 2003 paying $4.94 had it stored for him by his broker since then , but June last year  his coin dealer challenged him to call his broker up in New York and ask for delivery , which he did , his broker told him that's not possible despite he was paying storage fees since 2003 ! it's part of the poll account you do not take delivery you just participate in the appreciation his broker told him , so bill decided to do the wise thing which is sell all that silver paper and go get the real physical silver that he can have in his own hands and store for himself , Physical Silver Shortage Confirmed to be a scam , I think Paper silver will be worthless once the masses catch on there is not enough silver to deliver physical to everyone that holds a paper representation of Silver. The Silver ETF s like JP Morgans SLV will substitute rapidly devalued if not worthless dollars as per their "non deliverable" clause in their fine print. You need to get out of paper now and convert it to physical Silver at whatever the cost before its too late.

James Turk Silver to reach $50 by 2011

James Turk : "We're probably going to see $1,800 - $2,000 this year on the gold price and silver looks like it's going to go to at least $50, given the way the backwardation is forming right now... The demand for physical metal is just absolutely huge and the paper market is being more and more discredited as a price discovery mechanism. As a consequence you're going to see even greater demand for physical silver as we go forward." - in mineweb.com

John Embry Silver Above $50 in 2011 Gold Over $2,000

John Embryof Sprott Asset Management Silver Above $50 in 2011 Gold Over $2,000


I don't know how long the dollar will last for. But I rather jump out of a boat before it sinks than sit around to see how things turn out.Silver & Gold is your lifeboat. Diversify with Physical Gold and Silver - BIGGEST INVESTMENT EVER : Silver and gold do not go up. The value of the dollar goes down. Silver doesn't appreciate. It does not produce cash flows. Gold is money. It is not an investment. It is wealth preservation. You can trade an ounce of sliver for the same amount of goods as you could in 1913. The silver to oil or silver to bag of potatoes ratio should never change. Silver and gold are just money. There are arbitrage opportunities at times, but in the long run silver and gold are simply money.Silver is by far a better investment. Look at the numbers of silver over the years. It has outperformed gold and it is still a bargain even at $35.00. Imagine it going to $50.00. or $100.00 Bill gates has 30% of his assets in silver. Maybe he knew something that we did not.buying gold and having the ability to hold it in your hand is better than receiving a piece of paper stating how much you own. Because that piece of paper with that statement is no different than having the dollar bill in your wallet, paper may have a statement (IOU wise) but gold is GOLD.If you are going to buy gold you are better off buying actual gold that you can touch. Not a piece of paper or a certificate - thats just an iou in my opinion. If your going to keep an iou - you may as well hold dollars.There are gold dealers all over. look up the yellow pages

MASSIVE SILVER SHORTAGES AHEAD!

Now iss the time to purchase your silver coins and bullion. Supplies are razor thin and demand is soaring! In Europe silver is virtually impossible to purchase....the silver market is going up and up everyday , I think a huge shortage will be with us in less than 5 years.The dollar is done! The move into silver and gold will come shortly. Big things are starting to happen in the markets!! CRASH JP MORGAN, BUY SILVER!!

John Rubino : Short Squeeze In Silver ! Could Be The Big One

Silver is in a prolonged backwardation , basically silver was in a backwardation since January , a backwardation happens when the spot prices are higher than the Future prices it is a very rare very unusual very bullish situation , normally when a commodity goes into backwardation it lasts just for a short time but Silver was in backwardation since January , even if the price of silver has risen it remained in backwardation which is very very rare .People should own some physical silver around them but also store some in other countries. Better to diversify geographically. Confiscation risk is possible although not currently probable. A well diversified precious metals portfolio would be diversified geographically with physical metal though. Gold Money, Central Fund of Canada, Sprott, Perth Mint, etc.

Mike Maloney Silver is the next Gold

Mike Maloney for the first time in human history silver is more rare than Gold , the amount of silver that investors can buy , the amount of silver in the exchanges , the amount of silver in the dealers , there is more gold for investors to buy than there is silver so as this bull market progresses I do expect a rush into silver as people find out that silver is more rare ....

Mike Maloney about Gold and Silver Investments : "Silver And Gold Hit A New All-Time High Price" Thanks To Dollar . Collapse Gold hits new all time price and Silver hits a new 31 year
high price. The steady collapse of the U.S. dollar will continue to
make silver and gold rise as it will take more paper money to buy
them.

Bob Chapman : Silver Miners Shorted By US Government !

Bob Chapman : Silver Miners Naked Shorted By US Government !



Bob Chapman : what you have to look at here and it's not being much talked about it and that is the United States Government is using hedge funds to naked short all of the gold and silver stocks , that's part of what they are doing to gold and silver itself and that's why they haven't performed as well as they should , you see a very good company move up and then Bang it is back again and that's them doing that on behalf of the government and that's what's going on

Silver more rare than Gold

Silver more rare than Gold , and one day will become more expenssive than Gold



Silver will continue to close the gap from the actual 38/1 to the gold which means it takes 38 ounces of silver to buy one ounce of gold , historically that was 10 , 12 to one ratio so there is more for silver to go to catch up with the historic ratio to gold , but one day just like palladium used to be more woth platinum , silver will be more worthj than gold simply it is more rare ...right now we have less silver above ground far less than gold , silver is being used up faster than it is being mined matter of fact every year since 1991 we have been using (burning up) more silver than we have been mining out of the earth , today we have 7 billion ounces of gold above ground and yet we have only around 1 billion oiunces of Silver above ground some estimates as low as 600 million ounces of silver above ground ...so silver is more rare than gold and yet it takes 38 ounces of silver to buy 1 ounce of gold

Silver mine strike in Bolivia boosting silver spot prices

Bolivian miners have staged a major protest at the San Cristóbal mine, one of the world’s largest silver mines, San Cristobal Mine is the world’s third-largest producer of silver and the sixth-largest producer of zinc, it produced some 620,000 kilograms of fine silver in 2009, according to official data, and its output accounts for about half of the country's total mining exports.The Union decides to continue indefinite strike and they are blocking the entrance to the mine .There is neither production nor exports, because there's a blockade as part of the strike , this is all bullish for the silver price worldwide and it is probably what have caused the recent silver prices surge , experts are now expecting $50 an ounce for silver as early as next month . The price ratio gold / silver has moved in favor of silver in the last couple of months. A large number of investors have seen silver more affordable than gold. Because of this demand, dealers in precious metals in the United States and China have warned of a shortage of supply. Many investors are very worried about the continued devaluation of the currencies in the leading nations. The policies pursued by the U.S. central bank, the Federal Reserve (Fed) are eroding confidence in the dollar, leading many Americans to buy silver. Many Chinese are also buying silver as a hedge against rapidly rising inflation in China. The demand for silver in Traded Funds (ETFs) has increased dramatically in recent years

Peter Schiff ultra Bullish on Silver

Peter Schiff : “Silver Will Rise On Rising Inflation” "Silver has the best of both Worlds" says Peter Schiff who has always been spot on. bye silver now!! its going to explode to at least 100. bye it don't wait for hyperinflation!! I think he's right about the use of credit cards. If this is correct, the next wave is coming quickly.

Peter Schiff : I have been riding this bull (Silver Bull) since 1999/2000 ...Silver is kind of the best of both Worlds because it is an industrial metal and also a precious metal , so if you think the economy is growing you can buy silver and if you are afraid of inflation you can buy silver , it kind of has that element going for it ....the silver price is rising for the same reason that oil price is rising or agricultural commodities are rising , paper money is losing value , it is losing value because central banks are printing too much of it , that's not going to stop , look at the news you got today , you got higher than expected inflation coming out of Europe , you got the CEO of Walmart basically warning Americans to brace themselves for serious inflation he is looking for cross the board broad based increases starting in June

Silver price doubled in the last 12 months

Silver  prices at 31-year high , silver hit a new 31-year peak Tuesday as investors' desire for safe havens trumped news of a Chinese interest rate increase. the price of silver, which more than doubled in the last 12 months, climbing to its most expensive level versus gold since 1983.Owning both junk and bullion coins is a great idea. The junk is easily recognizable in a barter situation.. that will most likely be the money when the dollar collapses. If you are bartering small, a 100oz or 1000oz silver bar is not what you want. Smaller fractionals are essential.. dimes, quarters and halves.According to some experts like James Turk and Eric Sprott , the silver bull rally just started and we are going to see an explosion in the silver market in the coming months and years , this is the decade of the silver Eric Sprott calls it ,this is the biggest investment opportunity in human history says Mike Maloney
