If you spend much time listening to the political pundits, you'd think that our monetary inflation over the past few years was a "transitory" phenomenon, one caused exclusively by COVID, and a problem no longer worth worrying about as it fades into our rearview mirror. Unfortunately, I'm here to...

It appears that the run in the Dow Jones is out of steam and it is now time to rotate into commodities - namely, gold and silver.

As gold makes yet another All Time High this week and now sets its sights on $3,000, silver remains in the low-$30s with investors left wondering just if and when the metal will start to move. This week, we'll take a look at a couple of ratio charts that will renew your enthusiasm for silver.

This week, we'll look at medium-term charts of Silver/Euro and Silver/FTSE.

This week, we'll change things up from our usual analysis on longer term charts and instead focus on the short term to see if there are any clues about where gold and silver are headed next.

The Dow/Gold ratio is currently trading near an historically significant level near the 1929 high. We can see that price has fallen through that level 3 times in history, and when it has, the drop has been dramatic with an 87% decline after 1929, a 92% decline from 1972-1980 and a 59% decline fro...

As 2024 draws to a close, we'll take a look this week at long term annual and quarterly silver charts that look incredibly optimistic for 2025 and beyond.

This week we'll look at long term charts of gold vs both the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI). If you've ever wondered whether rising gold prices will be enough to keep up with inflation, these charts should put you at ease. Not only will gold keep up, it looks to rise mu...

This week, we'll look at a couple of interesting long term charts of both gold and the dow to see how technical analysis suggests they MIGHT play out in the decades ahead.

This week, we'll look at a few ratio charts of silver vs. some major US stock indexes to see just how inexpensive silver remains against equities.

The Silver/Euro price is breaking out of a 15-year descending trading channel, signaling a potential sharp rise to €70. Similarly, gold is nearing a breakout that could lead to a significant price increase, possibly reaching $10,000.

This week, we'll look at gold and silver and see that each are at some very interesting inflection points. Silver closed the quarter at $31.14, its highest in 12 years, while gold hit historic resistance at $2,665, both showing bullish patterns with potential for significant future gains.

This week, we'll look at a long-term chart of Silver/Euro with reasonable optimism that a very large move higher is in its future.

It has been more than a year since we last looked at the Dow/Gold ratio, which at the time was threatening to break down from a very large bear flag. This week, we'll update those charts and see that the expected breakdown has indeed occurred as anticipated.

This week, we'll look at both the long and short term relative performance of Bitcoin and gold to see if we can find any clues about which asset will perform better going forward.

This week, we'll look at several interesting ratio charts that plot gold against some of the world's best known consumer brands (McDonald's, Nike, Verizon, Target).

This week, we will look at an index of major gold mining stocks, HUI, and see that while the index does a nice job of identifying gold peaks and bottoms, mining stocks generally have not provided the positive leverage to the metals that precious metals investors sometimes claim.

There continues to be a heavy amount of pessimism toward silver on social media these days, but if you've noticed, most of these analysts are speculators trading on very short term charts. We're coming up on both the quarterly and 6-month close, so this week we'll look at those charts.

Few analysts chart the Dollar Index, DXY, as a means of predicting the future direction of the gold price. Their assumption is that if DXY is trending down, then gold will be trending up and vice versa. But this is a mistake.

This week, we'll look at charts of both gold and silver vs. the United States Consumer Price Index, which essentially uses a basket of goods and services to measure the cost of living in the United States over time. Another way to look at these charts is that they are measuring the metals against...
