This year the price of a silver ounce has fallen to less than 1/82 of a gold ounce. While gold pulled back by about 30% from $1,011 to around $704, siver has plummeted by 58% from $20.92 to $8.79.

With the money supply on the rise again, and the Federal Reserve policy obviously out of control, coupled with a very cheap ratio in terms of gold, it is certainly reasonable to start being bullish on silver again. Silver is, after gold, the best monetary metal. True, it derives a lot of its demand from industrial uses, but it has already taken its beating for it.

Has a floor formed? I do think so. Has the trendline been broken? Not quite yet, but it looks like we’re close to a trend reversal.
