I saw something about a 14-year high. Is this true?

Flirted with 48 earlier. China is on holiday for a week and I was hoping for a dip sale this weekend, but with the US govt shutdown, it looks like the metals are catching some demand in the West. Timing is everything I guess.

When silver breaks $50, it is likely going to really rip.

Seems like just yesterday that I gave my nieces some silver coins and they were worth only a little north of $20 spot.
I guess it has been a few years.

With the huge jump in Gold, I was thinking of switching a little into Silver

Any ETF recommendations?

General thoughts?

What is the rationale? I think Ad O used to pay attention to the silver:gold ratio.
Silver has moved up along with gold.
Or is it because you expect silver to behave like a hypercharged version of gold? (which it sometimes has done).

Code: Select all

(The above is not an etf recommendation; I hold both in physical coin form only. It's just to show the 52-week highs)

In case it zigs in a direction I like when gold zags in a direction I don't

Both have had crazy recent runs

Guess it's time for it all to come crashing down

I'm an investment genius -- silver zagged in the appropriate (up) direction when gold zigged (down)

I've got a track record of close to 24 hours

Worship me!
