The price of silver managed to hold onto recent gains this week, despite renewed dollar strength.
Volatility has been soaring as the market's been thrashing around, with the S&P 500 down another 5% in the last five trading days.
Now, here are the factors that will drive silver in the last two weeks of 2018...
The Dow Jones Industrial Average may be coming out of its slide. The Dow Jones projected an 136-point gain in premarket hours as the stock market freefall stops.
At least for now.
Investors continue to eye three potential catalyst that could send stocks even lower.
I hope you had the chance to catch my recent interview with legendary investor Frank Holmes. We talked about the need for investors to look beyond struggling cryptocurrencies to understand the enormous potential of the blockchain – the technology "underneath" that makes crypto work.
What kind of potential? Well, I believe – conservatively – that the technology could impact some $8 trillion in global transactions
See, the world's total GDP runs at around $80 trillion a year. And blockchain tech could eventually underpin all of that buying and selling.
But I'm only assuming blockchain grabs a 10% market share of systems that have been archaic and outdated for years now.
Here's the thing. As amazing as it sounds, trillions of dollars in trade each year still relies on rickety, less-than-totally-secure computer networks and, in some cases, even paper contracts!
Thanks in part to blockchain technology, that's all about to change. In a big way.
That's why today, I want to show you four industries where blockchain technology could add security and transparency – and greatly reduce business costs.
To be clear: I think this could boost bottom lines to the tune of $21 billion in 2019 alone – another conservative estimate – for the innovative firms using this technology.
This is the kind of "strategic info" that could make you look smart at your office Christmas party or next family gathering.
Better yet, put it to use wisely, and it could help you pinpoint your next few triple-digit winners – and that'll be even more fun to share with friends and family.

We've found a chart that all but proves that the next stock market crash now is inevitable – and could strike at any time.
You see, the primary strategies used to bring the economy back from the 2009 financial crisis are about to backfire. And the indicator we're talking about predicted each of the three previous recessions as well as the two most recent stock market crashes.

The price of gold is rising as we approach the December FOMC meeting and another possible rate hike.
In fact, the metal closed at a five-month high earlier this month.
But this week will be pivotal for the price of gold, and here's why...

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slide more than 2% on Friday alone, and today isn't shaping up to be much better.
Dow futures are already down 74 points ahead of trading today and the index is now on the verge of falling below the 24,000 level.
Here's everything you need to know about the stock market today...

At the National Institute for Cannabis Investors, we talk a lot about how the rapidly expanding legal cannabis market will disrupt many long-established industries.
It's already underway – like the Big Pharma player I mentioned the other day, where they're terrified of a simple hemp extract.
Tobacco companies know their traditional market is declining rapidly and they must find aggressive sources of growth.
We saw this play out when Altria Group Inc. announced its intent to invest $1.8 billion in Canadian cannabis company Cronos Group Inc. And that $1.8 billion was just a start.
Altria stands prepared to toss in another $1.1 billion if everything goes as planned. (Given the excellent leadership at Cronos, it will.)
Elsewhere, alcoholic beverage companies Molson Coors Canada and giant Constellation Brands Inc. have also both committed to cannabis – the latter making a $4 billion commitment to cannabis cultivation behemoth Canopy Growth Corp. Sales growth for alcohol is way down, and these companies are all too cognizant of the fact that cannabis legalization threatens their sales even more.
And based on some brand-new data that my team at the Institute just reviewed, these industry players have even more reason to pour truckloads of cash into cannabis companies.
Here's what's causing the panic...
