February. A belated welcome. You're free to make your own comments on articles if you wish. I have a life outside of BB's and have limited time to comment on all that's going on.

“This Is the Real Thing” Is THIS Why Silver Prices Jumped Today?
Posted on January 27, 2017 by The Doc

25 year silver trader reveals why silver prices are up big today…

Silver Replaces Copper in Volkswagen Windshield De-Icer

As more and more applications are found for Silver, its industrial use will bolster and complement its status as a precious metal. We’re Silver Bulls relative to Gold for this reason.

Once upon a time, technology was the silver-killer through film elimination. Now technology is finding increasing applications for Silver. At this rate, we may yet see the 16 to 1 ratio for reasons not yet championed.

Self-heating windows have existed for decades. However, they’ve have always relied on near-invisible wires that can be a distraction when revealed by oncoming headlights. So instead of wires, the laminated glass used in Volkswagen’s new windshields includes an ultra-thin invisible layer of silver connected to the vehicle’s electrical system so that it heats up and melts away ice.- Gizmodo

February .. Thou thinks thee doth hit the nail on it's head

Juju, your defensive pessimism is interesting... I suspect it's a question of the lady doth protest too much, and that deep down you're one of the most bullish people on PMs on this board.

For Fifth straight weeks silver is closing higher than previous weeks, what does this indicate where are we heading?

[hectorp] 27/1/2017 19:00

Yes a good close and impressive silver move.. Some movement between gold and silver traders just possibly. A good close to the week! I nearly said phew.

Let's see if it attacks 17.20 again after this little retrace.

[onedayrodders] 27/1/2017 16:27

seems to have hit its head on 17.20 ..been a few of these over the last month.
one day of course it will just keep going !

[shakeypremis] 27/1/2017 16:23

Could be, we'll have to wait and see.

[onedayrodders] 27/1/2017 16:22

Yeah .. another head fake ?

interesting

[shakeypremis] 27/1/2017 16:17

Silver is exploding upwards!

[marvelman] 27/1/2017 12:52

Very strange that these sudden drops in the price of silver form almost an identical a pattern that is coming earlier each Nymex session or just before it opens

[shakeypremis] 27/1/2017 11:58

Hochschild? .... ;)

[stevea171] 27/1/2017 11:23

Lauders. No reason for HOC to be laggardly now that Pallancata is back to work with blue skies and sunny days here for the foreseeable future.

Of interest Polymetal (POLY), Ftse250, reported yesterday with flat production for the year and debt at US$ 1,329 million remained broadly unchanged year-on-year.
So they are making no attempt to pay down their massive debt but paying dividends and production is flat in complete contrast to HOC. No prizes for guessing who has the better management ....

Can you believe this ... effectively the US Government is backing a private hedge fund to build homes to the people that cannot afford houses let alone barely cover the rent, against a background of rising interest rates. This of course will mean with the Government backing it is actually the tax payer is now at risk should there be a serious downturn.



Now did something similar go wrong around 2008 ?


No sign of Trump draining the swamp here

[lauders] 27/1/2017 10:53

HOC ahead of the pack (NOT) as usual I see stevea171. Hopefully that WILL turn out to be the case sooner rather than later!

[stevea171] 27/1/2017 10:23

PM miners bouncing back today:

CEY +2.2%
FRES +2.3%
HGM +4.2%
HOC +0.7%
etc

The energy revolution may affect the gold price. The gold/oil ratio has been 10-20 for a long time. Now with $55 oil and $1180 gold the ratio is 21; a bit high but not too far of average.

Now, with electric cars, better batteries and massive desert solar arrays being built the price of oil is likely to drop to $20. Barring stupid wars there could be a megaboom.

Gold has never done well in booming economies and if the ratio stays the same the price of gold could drop to $400.

Glad to hear he has learned from experience. My experience of Embry and his like is that they are always wrong and have lost mucho loot for the mugs. PMs will go up when the mafia decide to rake them up .

[stevea171] 27/1/2017 10:02

John Embry continues: “In my lengthy career in the investment business I have never seen a disparity in price like the one that currently exists between the price of physical gold and silver, and the bloated valuations currently in effect for bonds, stocks, and real estate. I supposed it stands as testimony to the chicanery in the paper gold and silver markets, the resulting terrible price action in gold and silver, and the relentless propaganda attempting to validate that same price action.

This will all change violently, but the timing is difficult to predict. With the enormous increase in what I call ‘financial innovation’ — high frequency trading, algorithms, staggering quantities of derivatives, etc, the amount of leverage that has been introduced into the global financial system in the last couple of decades ensures a horrific ending. However, I have learned from experience that putting a price forecast and a specific date in the same sentence is a dangerous practice.

Topical - will he, if it exists of course.
He will need to get the dollar down by some 20% shortly, as its going to run away with itself due to the unavailablity of Dollar notes in the East. Its been like PM's in reverse, they only go up, PM's generally go down.

[majorpain2] 26/1/2017 18:00

You cant print physical PM's, digital PM's on the other hand...
