3 Reasons Why I Am Bullish on Silver

By Matt Smith

Global stock markets continued to be wracked by rising volatility because of a range of economic and geopolitical events that are fueling greater concern among investors. This is generating renewed interest in precious metals, including gold, silver, and platinum, as investors seek safe-haven investments to avoid this volatility.

1. Geopolitical and economic risk is rising

Economic and geopolitical crises are gripping the globe. Earlier this year, emerging markets plunged as the Argentine peso was sold off; now Argentina has defaulted yet again on its debt, and there is growing concern that Portugal’s banking system is nearing collapse.

Conflict is raging across the Middle East, with insurgents controlling swathes of Syria and Iraq, renewed open warfare between opposing parties in Libya, and Israel continuing to prosecute a war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. War in the Ukraine is also intensifying, with it fast becoming a proxy conflict between the West and Russia, fueling further concern about how far it will escalate.

These developments have thrown the spotlight firmly on safe-haven investments and will continue to push silver prices higher as investors seek a cost-effective alternative to global stock markets.

2. The gold-to-silver ratio widens further

Historically, there has been a close correlation between the prices of silver and gold. This is expressed in the form of the gold-to-silver-ratio, indicating how many ounces of silver are needed to buy one ounce of gold. Over the years this ratio has fluctuated wildly, falling as low as 20 ounces of silver to buy one ounce of gold in 1970 to a high of 89 ounces in 1991.

For the year to date, the ratio has widened, now requiring 66 ounces of silver to buy an ounce of gold. This is well in excess of the historical average of 47 ounces over the last century and well above the figure 43 ounces required at the height of the gold bull market.

If silver correlates to gold at the same level as at the peak of the gold bull market, then silver offers potential upside of 53%. Even if the ratio narrows to the average over the last century, there is potential upside of 40%.

This indicates that now is the time to buy silver as a hedge against both inflation and as a safe-haven investment in place of gold.http://www.fool.ca/2014/08/18/3-reasons-why-i-am-bullish-on-silver/

Why you should be Bullish on Silver

Reasons to Be Bullish on Silver . Silver is a MUST for a modern Hightech economy
Metals consultant Philip Klapwijk sees strong demand and a rally in prices ahead for silver. "common sense tells you silver is solid" this is why silver is most commonly known as the common man's gold .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.
