The Commodity Sector's Most Undervalued Resource Just Got a Bullish Outlook
Many investors will tell you gold is the ultimate safe haven, but here's the thing – silver is poised to deliver extreme outperformance over the next several years.
Let me explain how I know this.
You see, I spend countless hours researching silver, gold, and a plethora of commodities and related investment opportunities.
So I know silver is, without a doubt, the most undervalued resource right now, based on a number of metrics.
In fact, some of the best research to be gleaned on this very topic comes from the Silver Institute's World Silver Survey 2018, the 28th annual edition of this global analysis.
For anyone studying the sector as I do, it's an indispensable tool providing an in-depth view of the state of the silver markets.
And for those who don't study it, I'm going to show you my condensed review of this year's survey, as well as a suggestion for how you can leverage silver's bullish outlook.
Price of Silver Is Poised to Rally Thanks to These 3 Indicators
With the Fed's rate hike now behind us, the price of silver could well be embarking on a fresh rally.
In fact, the precious metal is starting to act well in the face of both market weakness and market strength.
The 3 Best Silver Junior Mining Stocks to Buy in 2018
Today, we're bringing readers the three best junior mining silver stocks to buy in 2018, which all have massive upside.
During the last precious metals rally, starting in early 2016 through mid-year, silver gained 46%. However, the Global X Silver Miners ETF gained 231%. And the ETFMG Prime Junior Silver ETF gained a whopping 344%.
Here are the three picks and the huge upside they are all presenting...
80% Gains Are Just the Start for This Silver "Triple Play"
Silver is a wonder material – for sheer versatility, there's no competition in the precious metals.
They may call it the "poor man's gold," but it's critical to industry and beyond.
As the metal with the highest conductivity, silver has become indispensable to electronics and high-tech energy. Silver paste is used in 90% of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, the most common type of solar panels.
Everyday applications need more and more of the precious white metal, as it's now commonly found in water purification, solar panel production, and anti-bacterial applications, to name but a few.
Constant innovation is providing an unending source of ways to use silver, meaning its potential demand is immense.
Meanwhile, silver supply may have just peaked while all of this was happening.
"Peak Silver" Is About to Rock Markets and Bring Huge Profits to Smart Buyers
It's Economics 101. Price works to balance supply and demand. Limited supply causes higher prices; higher prices help curb demand.
Well, a potentially very profitable twist on that equation is playing out right now in the silver market. Mined silver supplies have been drying up over the past few years, while silver prices have climbed 20% in the same time frame.
But the exciting opportunity for investors is that precious metals, like silver, are among the only assets that can see higher demand when prices rise. It's just not what normally happens in "regular" markets.
But, to be fair, silver (and gold) are anything but normal markets.
Silver supplies risk falling short of demand for some time to come. In mid-December 2017, I said silver would likely tack on steady double-digit gains before entering a "Tulip Mania"-style profit frenzy.
Why We Could See $250 Silver Before It's All Said and Done
Last week, I showed you several charts that prove a powerful gold bull market is back.
Today, I'm here to show you that it's got good company.
You see, silver and gold usually travel in a pair. So the silver bull is also back.
And given silver's volatility and leverage to gold, I think every investor should be positioned in this precious metal right now.
As you'll see from the charts I'm going to show you in a moment, silver is going to head dramatically higher.
The unprepared risk being left behind...
How Bitcoin and the Fed Brought Us a Gold and Silver Bottom
The biggest question on every precious metals investor's mind, probably without exception, has to be: "Have gold and silver bottomed?"
It's the key to making smart – and profitable – buying decisions.
Of course, nothing in the markets or investing is ever that simple.
But today, we're going to look at some recent clues that strongly support a likely interim bottom for precious metals – and precious metal stocks, of course.
The Silver Price Just Jumped 2.5% and Could Soar Another 50% in 2018
Last week, before the unsurprising Fed interest rate hike, Peter said the end of the silver price pullback could be close. He also said the "insurance" offered by precious metals was cheap.
It was time to buy.
Silver: Double-Digit Gains This Year, Then "Tulip Mania"
If you want the upside potential of Bitcoin with minimal downside risk, then silver may well be your answer.
The precious metal has offered not just centuries, but millennia of intrinsic monetary and industrial value.
And despite that inherent worth, silver sometimes goes through frenzied buying manias, not unlike Bitcoin's 2017 run-up.
In my view, that same kind of "Tulip Mania" lies ahead for silver investors, only bigger. And while that may not happen in 2018, it almost surely will in the next few years.
