Silver
January 23 2026: Silver is Gold on steroids...and costs 18.0% more in China!
"This is the price evolution of FIAT PAPER SILVER! - Physical Silver sells at a 40% premium!
The physical price of silver is the REAL PRICE of silver."
The silver market is tiny. About 700 million oz. of silver is mined each year worldwide, about 200 million oz. is recycled, and about 100 million oz. is from "other" sources, like governments. That's the supply side. At $20/oz., this is a $20 billion annual market.
There is a shortage of 250,000,000 ounces of Silver!
Silver BREAKS OUT of a HUGE, MATURE CUP & HANDLE formation with a calculated target of $248!
Important: this is the price evolution of FIAT-PAPER-SILVER, not of PHYSICAL SILVER.

| SLV is a Ponzi scheme and a form of theft, as it has a structural shortage of physical silver. | ||||
Breakout of halfway bottom consolidation - the medium-term target is $48, and the long-term target is $ 145!
This action explains the HUGE FLAG formation: "The Chinese are divesting out of paper right now. We have observed a significant increase in both euro-denominated and dollar-denominated physical silver purchases. When Silver took out $33, many physical orders were filled. The Chinese are doing the same thing in the silver market as in the gold market, with massive accumulation on dips. It is also important to note that the local silver traders are short and nervous. Everyone is short silver, so the market can move violently higher when it turns. When silver reverses, it will be the one that leads the market higher."

| The Bearish Triangle is now a Bullish Flag. The formation at this time will propel Silver to about $88. That is after the $48 has been broken to the upside and tested. |

A perfect technical picture we had. See the 2004 breakout out of a vast bullish triangle. Over the 20 years (1985/2004), the resistance line has become a significant support level. The first bull run ended in 2008, when Lehman Brothers collapsed, and we experienced substantial deleveraging. [Whether Lehman is to be blamed or not is another chapter.]
During the deleveraging action, the BREAKOUT level was tested positively (indicating a confirmed BULL TREND). After the test, silver geysers again reached the top of their long-term trend channel. Silver goes parabolic, or it consolidates sideways (I think the latter will happen).
For this reason, I expect Gold to outperform Silver this year. Silver is the poor man's gold. Silver will be strong if people are insecure and we continue to rely on fiat paper money. We are experiencing a paradigm shift: what we are living through today is not the ordinary recession we have seen in previous cycles. By now, this should have become clear to most. The crisis calls for extraordinary measures and exceptional protection.
Silver is one way to ensure your savings. It is a REAL ASSET, REAL MONEY. (The alternative is to buy Government bonds that yield nothing, keep your money in Bank accounts that produce nothing, or stack it under your mattress where it will be inflated away). At this time, Silver is in a congestion zone. The larger the zone, the larger the subsequent run.

$-Silver objective for Wave II is $ 42,50 - €-Silver objective for Wave II is € 35: Silver has finished the 1st Wave cycle 1,2,3,4,5, and the subsequent ABC correction. Logically, it will reverse and start its Wave II cycle in the wake of the Gold Price. The objective is $ 42,50, or 5 times the low.
- April story: Silver and Gold usually put in a bottom in March and a top in April. On March 18th, we had a bottom for Gold. If one misses the March bottom, one usually has to wait until summer to see a fresh buying opportunity.
- Silver moving averages have now also confirmed their Golden Cross.
- Gold and Silver mines are strong, indicating higher prices for Gold and Silver are ahead. Several Gold and Silver stocks have broken above their 200-day moving average.

Meanwhile, the “paper” silver price was recently nominally taken down from just above $20/oz. At around $13/oz, it is increasingly complex to find physical Silver at any price. If one can find it, one must pay approximately $4 over the spot price, i.e., around $17/oz, on average. Such is the ludicrous result of living in an Interventional Universe.
Manipulation?... At the very least, one can say that this is a peculiar occurrence.
Last week, widely regarded silver analyst Ted Butler reported on recent developments during the July 1 1-August 5, 2008, period in the precious metals complex [specifically, open interest data in COMEX futures].
Butler’s work shows that as of July 1, 2008, two U.S. banks were short 6,199 contracts of COMEX silver (30,995,000 ounces). As of August 5, 2008, two U.S. banks were short 33,805 contracts of COMEX silver (169,025,000 ounces), an increase of more than fivefold. This is the most significant position held by U.S. banks in the data I have found. Between July 14 and August 15, the price of COMEX silver declined from a peak high of $19.55 (basis September) to a low of $12.22 for a decline of 38%.
For gold, three U.S. banks held a short position of 7,787 contracts (778,700 ounces) in July and 86,398 contracts (8,639,800 ounces) in August, an eleven-fold increase that coincided with a decline of more than $150 per ounce. As with silver, this represents the largest short position ever held by U.S. banks, according to CFTC data. Click here for more.
Updated November 20, 2008 - Time to buy silver!
€ Silver bar monthly & daily charts-Will the Central banks really convince the Herd that it is better to keep Paper Fiat Money and Government bonds instead of Real Money? Do the markets erroneously think we are entering a cycle of deflation? Or is this a bear trap and an abnormal shakeout of the Bulls? Again, based on the fundamentals, I cannot imagine we have entered a bear market. The daily bar chart shows a nice reversal. Time to buy!
