Silver: 3 Reasons The Little Brother Has Massive Potential

When we think of gold, we think of the solid, safe-haven, value-holding, inflation-hedging, shiny, yellow metal that lets us sleep at night knowing the governments of the world cannot print it out of existence. Gold is the big cheese in the precious-metals investing community. There’s no doubt that gold should be a part of everyone’s investment portfolio, but it’s important not to forget gold’s little brother: silver.

Silver holds all of the same characteristics that make gold a great monetary metal. Silver is durable, malleable, easily recognizable, portable, divisible, and uniform (one silver coin is basically the same as the next). It is also scarce enough to make it valuable for smaller transactions. Most important of all, as with gold, no amount of money printing will reduce your physical holdings of silver by one bit.

What makes silver even more attractive than gold is its potential upside. There are several reasons why silver may outperform gold in the coming years. They are outlined below. After examining these reasons, we’ll explore the recent shortage of Silver Eagles at the US Mint and what this all means for the price of silver in the long run.

Can Silver Shine Brighter Than Gold?

When we think of gold, we think of the solid, safe-haven, value-holding, inflation-hedging, shiny, yellow metal that lets us sleep at night knowing the governments of the world cannot print it out of existence. Gold is the big cheese in the precious-metals investing community. There’s no doubt that gold should be a part of everyone’s investment portfolio, but it’s important not to forget gold’s little brother: silver.

Silver holds all of the same characteristics that make gold a great monetary metal. Silver is durable, malleable, easily recognizable, portable, divisible, and uniform (one silver coin is basically the same as the next). It is also scarce enough to make it valuable for smaller transactions. Most important of all, as with gold, no amount of money printing will reduce your physical holdings of silver by one bit.

What makes silver even more attractive than gold is its potential upside. There are several reasons why silver may outperform gold in the coming years. They are outlined below. After examining these reasons, we’ll explore the recent shortage of Silver Eagles at the U.S. Mint and what this all means for the price of silver in the long run.

Reason #1: The 16:1 Rule

Historically, silver has traded at about a 16:1 ratio to gold. At today’s current spot prices, silver is trading at closer to 55:1. If we assume that silver will eventually return to its historic ratio, the current deviation could imply one of three scenarios:

1) Gold will drop off a cliff

2) Gold will fall significantly, while silver simultaneously rises

3) Silver will skyrocket to all-time highs

For the first scenario, let’s assume that silver’s price remains at current levels, and gold falls to assume the historic 16:1 ratio. At $30 per ounce of silver, gold would need to fall to $480 per ounce — a level not seen in almost nine years. For the second scenario, let’s assume that gold takes a significant hit. The most recent bearish estimates for the gold price have been around $1,200 per ounce. At a 16:1 ratio, silver would have to climb to $75 per ounce — more than double its current price. For the third scenario, let’s assume that gold maintains its current price, even though we at the Hard Assets Alliance think it is destined to move much higher. With gold at $1,600 per ounce, silver should be $100 — over three times its current price.

Of course, anything is possible, but if you believe that gold will rise as the dollar falls, what does that say about silver? Perhaps $100 per ounce does not seem so unreasonable.

Reason #2: The Metal of All Trades

Many of us think of silver as an investment metal, but silver’s main source of demand comes from industrial uses. In 2011, coin demand only made up about 10 percent of total demand for silver. The rest was applied, in everything from photography to jewelry and electronics. There are even some instances of silver replacing platinum in catalytic converters.

The Silver Scandal - The Long War On Silver

I have remade this video due to audio issues with the first one.

Gold & Silver...Plot to Collapse the Precious Metals Mining Industry?

..Banks and global governments are acquiring physical gold and silver at alarming rates. Are they attempting acquisition of the Gold & Silver mining industries? Is their goal to completely control production and distribution of precious metals? The UN's NWO agenda is to enslave the global population....slaves have no ownership rights to ANYTHING of VALUE! The PTB's never fail to disappoint coming up with schemes undreamed of.

Will Gold & Silver continue to fall or have they bottomed?

By Alasdair Macleod

This week has seen somewhat reduced volatility in precious metals, with gold ranging between $1,442 and $1,480 and silver between $23.20 and $24.60. The question we would all like an answer to is having consolidated after the massive knock-down last month, will prices continue to fall, or have they bottomed?

To help answer this question, let’s look at the position of the bullion banks on Comex, in the form of the four largest traders. The two charts below are for gold and silver, and represent the balance between the gross long and gross short positions of the banks deemed to control the market.

Miners mine based on industrial demand which is way down and there is a surplus that salesmen are trying to push off on investors. Even if investment demand doubled it would not put a dent in what has dropped out of industrial demand. Miners pay bloggers and dealers to push their product. Silver was a great investment in the 90s and early 2000s but countries dont buy silver. These guys have to repeat the same crap every day, smells fishy.

Physical gold-silver shortage could benefit undervalued miners

by Jeb Handwerger

We may see a very powerful rebound

When it looks as though things couldn't get worse for precious metal mining equities (GDX), that may be just the time to buy for contrarians. Not only are the junior miners (GDXJ) sloping to historic decade lows but gold (GLD) bullion, which has held up considerably well in comparison, has been hit hard recently by short selling, bearish bank reports and margin calls.

Now after this recent decline there is a palpable sense of panic and fear throughout the resource markets. This is the biggest decline since 2008 and 2003 when all the bad weather bears sold and missed out on 200% reversal moves in the mining indices.

Don't make a similar mistake now. As I stated before,

we should see a bounce. Hold on and add as we may be approaching a major bottom. I wrote recently that we may see a very powerful rebound as short covering and record investment demand returns to the precious metal sector.
All of the summer soldiers have left the battlefield. Only the long term value investors remain and they couldn't be happier as there are bargain basement discounts galore throughout the resource industry.

Mining is a difficult business that requires capital and meticulous operation management. Investors have been burned by the majors where we have witnessed a major decline in earnings and profits as costs soar.

Barrick (ABX) came out with better than expected earnings recently and rallied the entire gold mining sector on increasing volume. Interesting this comes right after panic selling and capitulation. Long term value investors are able to get a dividend paying stock with cash flow at $2 below book value.

Barrick announced incredible, better than expected numbers from its Cortez Trend properties in Nevada where cash costs are incredibly low. At the same time the Pascua Lama mine has become a disaster, which they should probably just shelve and take a write down.

The major miners are facing challenges with rising production costs from projects that are extremely capital intensive. In the past, they have done a poor job in their acquisitions into high cost mines in questionable jurisdictions.

Silver Shortage of April, 2013

(In Rounds and Eagles!)

Silver Stock Report

We at www.jhmint.com have investor silver available, 10 oz. bars, and 100 oz. bars, and we can order more.
Rounds and Silver Eagles are sold out, and occasionally it has been difficult to source them, on and off, so far this year.
Prices over spot are changing up to 5% per day, and silver eagles are selling for up to 30-40% over spot on ebay.com.
Investor buying probably remains about where it has been for the past 4 years, at about 100 million oz. of silver per year, but maybe a tiny bit more in recent weeks of course.
Silver Eagles are about half of the silver sold to investors, nationwide.
There is nothing extraordinary about sales figures from the US Mint. They are pace to make about 40 million oz. of Silver Eagles this year, which is a bit more than last year, and about the same as the year before that.
