The Silver Bull Is Alive and Well

Jeff Clark, Senior Precious Metals Analyst for Casey Research, published an excellent article about the undiminished investment demand for silver this year. Gold has taken a beating from unjustly bearish investors, but the appetite for silver around the world does not seem to be fading at all. In a recent interview, Peter Schiff noted that silver is one of his most important safe haven investments thanks to its amazing upside potential.

“As of last Friday, silver is down 26.6% on the year, and down a whopping 55% since its $48.70 high on April 28, 2011. The bear market cycle is now two and a half years old—and no one can say with absolute certainty that the bottom is in.

Sounds like an investment to avoid.

For now, let’s ignore the fundamental argument for silver—an alternative currency that, like gold, will sooner or later respond to the historic levels of currency dilution throughout much of the developed world—and consider the behavior of investors. In response to the price drubbing, have they abandoned the silver market? If that were so, it might be a warning sign that we’ve overstayed our welcome.”
