Gold and Silver Trade - silver was the most overextended of all the precious metals

Silver backing off a bit. is that going to keep going on? i suspect so. the silver i think was the most overextended of all the precious metals. we're likely to see it weaken relative to gold and i think that's what's important is the gold/silver ratio is likely to go back up again. everybody taking grandma's old tea set and selling it at the pawnshop. how long can that go on? that's a good point. what helped to kill the rally way back in '79 and '80 was an enormous amount of scrap coming into the market. we haven't detected anything like those levels back then. i do think you're going to see a change in the attitude of industry and consumers about handing in old silver items with the prices almost getting to $50 at one point



Jim Steel, chief commodities analyst, HSBC; Peter Beutel, president and author, Cameron Hanover; and Michael Woolfolk, BNY Mellon offer a roundup of commodities and what's likely to happen over the next few months.

Gold price down, 3%

Gold down, 3% - the gold loses appeal in Asian markets, due to the recovery of the US dollar. The yellow metal for immediate delivery slips in Singapore, by 1, 3% to $ 1,525.45 an ounce.

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 ?
