I’ve written before about how gold can help protect you from the coming Super Crash, but I haven’t written so much about silver.
The main reason for that is that silver really is “poor man’s gold.” The major difference is that gold is a currency while silver remains a metal.
Silver prices are also more volatile, more dependent on the state of the industrial economy (which isn’t very good), and very beaten down right now.

Today we're looking at how behavior leading up to and right after the Sept. 17 Fed decision has shaped our new silver price forecast.
Silver tends to mirror gold's price movements, both up and down - but with leverage. However, there's another factor most are underestimating in relation to silver prices.
It's like "rocket fuel" for precious metals - and especially silver. Take a look...

While gold is down 37% since peaking at $1,900 in 2011, silver has shed 67% since topping at $49 that same year. This makes our 2015 silver price forecast even more critical.
Let's look at all the factors that will drive silver prices in the new year...

The price of silver this week has been difficult to pinpoint.

Silver prices this week have fallen slightly, but there are encouraging signs for the white metal moving forward.
After almost three months of freefall, during which time silver prices fell 21.4% and touched off four-year lows, prices finally reversed direction and traded up last week. It had fallen 11 of the 12 weeks prior and had been down for five consecutive weeks.
So what's fueling this reversal? And why is it flat this week?

Silver prices this month were falling to what can only be described as ridiculously low prices.
That's why silver exchange-traded funds bulked up their holdings, and prices are slowly beginning to reverse their slump.

Silver Price Forecast this Week: Silver speculators are mounting their short positions, meaning that silver prices are likely to continue to struggle in the near term.
Silver is currently in a cycle of growing short positions, and the more they build, the longer the rally will be to follow once those positions go through a period of liquidation.

Silver's 3% drop in July was to be expected, given it was coming off an unsustainable and unprecedented June rally.
But now that the traders have taken their profits and the white metal is moving into a month that has in recent history produced impressive gains for silver, we could be on the cusp of a bull run to $24.
