The Silver rises more than 8 percent this week

The Silver trade. It's driven by investment demand CNBC 5/10/2011

The Fast Money traders weigh in on whether you should buy silver now and which trades you should put down today.Silver looks like it has bottomed and it has started rising back up again after it fell last week on fund exits CME margin hikes in fact silver prices rises 8% this week .
B.K. " I'm still long silver, both options and the SLV. I do think you can probably get in, at least on a third position here.you can you use 33 on the SLV as your stop. that way you have a defined risk, or can you just go with some upside calls maybe the 40 calls on the SLV, something like that, but I still believe in the silver trade. one, it's driven by investment demand which certainly came off with the margin increases, but there's a new mutual fund that's coming out that's going to be holding physical silver and inflation is not done both China and Brazil are raising wages, and that will lead to more inflation.

Silver has still a long way to go

Silver has still a long way to go , this is a great opportunity to buy , I bought a week ago at $46 and I am buying now at $41 I trust experts like James Turk Mike Maloney and Bob Chapman , all agree that the price of silver will shoot up and up once it crosses that psychological barrier of $50 , how could silver be in a bubble when not even 1% of the population owns silver ??? I live in a huge north American mega city and the whole City has hardly 3 to 4 coin shops selling gold and silver to a population of around 6 millions when we count the suburbs most people have never heard of gold and silver coins so i wonder how come some dare to talk about a bubble when roughly 1 percent of the population only owns some kind of silver ?

Why did Silver price Slip today ?

Michael McCarthy, chief market strategist at CMC Markets, believes silver has entered the "blow-off" phase of the bubble market and prices will stay volatile.I beg to disagree with McCarthy , what we saw this morning was a healthy correction the price of silver is what it was just a week ago , the fundamentals are still fantastic and I expect the silver to end at $50 by the end of the month...today's dipp is a great opportunity for buyers to go and get more physical silver...

Silver and rare earth are going to be in tremendous demand : Stephen Leeb

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 in the hands of the people

Silver in the hands of the people Silver as Money : Summary of the lecture given by Hugo



Salinas-Price President of the Mexican Civic Association for Silver in January 2011," How to monetize silver so that it can circulate permanently in parallel with paper and digital money" the last bubble is world's currencies , all currencies in the world are fiat currencies and they are all derivatives of the dollar , which is itself nothing but a piece of paper ,The silver coins will outlast any central bank

The first conditions to menetize one ounce coin silver are :
The coin shall not bear an engraved monetary value.
The Treasury will attribute a quote, a monetary value in pounds to the ounce.
The quote will serve the same function as an engraved value.
when the coin has an engraved value it's condemned to go out of circulation
The last monetary quote given to the ounce by the issuer must not be reducible.
Just as is the condition of present British pound coins and bank notes.
If the quote is allowed to fluctuate in value downward, according to the price of silver, then the ounce will not be currency: it will continue existing as a commodity
Silver money will remain permanently in circulation and will never be at risk of disappearing due to a collapse of the banking system.

Silver Scarcer Than Gold But More Useful - Mike Maloney & David Morgan In Las Vegas

Silver Scarcer Than Gold But More Useful - Mike Maloney & David Morgan In Las Vegas (Ep 6) The world as we know it would cease to exist without silver.


I love you guys! You pint such a rosy picture for "the" metal!

With Silver looking fine above $34, of course the USA market will try to pull it down, but I do not think they will manage today...$38 here we come?

PS Hey Dan I thought you might be in the UK around this time?

PS II I should get my daughters little order of Silver Eagles right about now :0)

You speak, I listened and took action....but It would be worth to give gold _some_ credibility :) There is a lot of uses for gold in the electronics industry. Not to the same degree as silver, but it exists. Part of recycling of fine electronics is to get some of the gold back. It's also much used as a chemical catalyst, or at least experimented much as such.

So if gold suddenly disappeared, you'd certainly see signs of this in specific industries. It's not like no one would care or notice. But life would probably go on

Gold and silver are set to be less sensitive to dollar appreciation

Speculative length for metals and crude oil increased last week. Despite this increase, speculative length remains well below that of the past few months. Gold has seen net speculative length on COMEX rise from 29.8% of open interest (OI) to 31.7% — still well below the 42% of OI seen in Sep 2009. The net speculative long position now stands at 622 tonnes — 300 tonnes lower than the highs reached in October 2009.

For silver, the picture is similar — speculative length is only marginally higher, at 17.3% of OI (16.1% the previous week). For gold and silver, the relatively low level of speculative interest
indicates that both metals are set to be less sensitive to dollar appreciation than dollar depreciation. We expect more strength in the dollar in the next few weeks (initial target at $1.30 against the euro). Because speculative length is low and we expect more dollar strength, I still favour gold and silver in Malaysia. Likely would look for a large rally in gold and silver ( in dollar terms) once the dollar starts to depreciate again.

WTI crude saw speculative interest rise from 3.2% of OI to 5.3% last week. The speculative length in WTI does not look overextended yet, but we may be getting closer to this level. Speculative length reached 10.4% of OI in January before prices declined from $84 to $70. Average speculative length as a percent of OI over the past 12 months was 3.7%.

Gold chart & update

The climate: Continued stress of banks and other financial institutions. In my opinion the source of this stress is illiquidity of non trade able (unlisted at a public exchange) financial “products”.Outlook: High volatility is present in all markets, extreme events in which investment banks remove huge amounts of liquidity while central banks creates huge amount of liquidity to fill the “holes”
