TOP PICK
Jun 20, 2019
Silver is a quasi precious metal and quasi base metal. It lagged gold but it has room to go. make a buck or two in the position and out. Not for the faint of heart.
He just legged into silver buying bullion. He thinks $16.10 would act as good support. He usually targets three legs to get into the full position, so he is just getting going. Gold broke out above $1350 resistance around mid-year and looked for a pullback once it breached $1500. He sees gold now being constructive again. He is into 2% of his total position that will reach 10% of his portfolio eventually between bullion and producers.
We're on a descending triangle here. He likes silver and gold. Silver could test August highs, so there's a lot of upside here. Meanwhile, gold will retest its own highs, higher than the current price. Also, there's strong seasonality in precious metals into February.
Relative to gold's price, silver is now cheap. Late-December to late-February is seasonality. We're seeing a slight uptick. Silver had a strong run in summer 2019. This looks quite positive.
(A Top Pick Jan 07/20, Up 0.3%) Silver has been going down. But now we are seeing a bump positive. Unfortunately Silver is finished its seasonal strength.
Silver does better later and will catch up to the gold rally. He owns both minerals. This is a pure play on the silver commodity, so no worries about jurisdiction risk in individual silver stocks.
(A Top Pick Jul 13/20, Up 36%) Would be inclined to go into silver than gold for new money. Has been a disappointment relative to what he thought it should do. Economically sensitive. Used in solar panels and 5G technologies. Lots of applications driving demand. If the USD weakens, then silver would be even more attractive.
Under weighted on S&P 500. Commodity demand with electrification. Acts as a hedge on inflation. Geopolitical pressures also increase value of silver (hard assets). Upside for patient investors.
