Metals Complex…a Rebound Underway

I follow and have the ability to trade 5 different metals…in no particular order gold, silver, palladium, platinum and copper. For the most part I am most active in gold and silver with clients, use copper to help navigate other trades interpreting the overall breadth of the economy and rarely do clients trade palladium and […]

Silver – A 7% Reversal as of this Post…Today

In the last 9 months one could have born a child and within that same time frame silver prices are lower by 44%.

Gold & Silver, Not as Precious as Last Week

Silver, $26 is the Line in the Sand

The $26 level has acted as silver’s support for over two years now. And after a 10% slide over the past three weeks, including today’s 6% drop, we’re once again challenging this all-important line in the sand. Will $26 hold this time? Maybe not… yet I remain a long-term silver bull and see lower prices […]
