It must be Monday, because the price of silver skyrocketed. From $26.10, it shot up to $27.50, or +5.4%. The last time we wrote about silver was after its crash to $25. Silver is now priced 10% above that low point. But First: The Sage Does a 180 The big news in the monetary metals […]
On Monday, the price of silver continued its epic skyrocket. We say this without hyperbole, this kind of price action does not happen every day. Or every year. It occurs perhaps once a decade. And the same can be said for Monetary Metals writing so many articles about silver in the span of a week! […]
And, *bam!* Just like that, silver sells for $29. It seems so simple, so obvious, so black-and-white. Seeing the price chart in recent weeks, you wouldn’t know that silver speculators have been waiting for this moment since March, 2013 (when silver crossed the $29 line to the downside, and has not looked back until now).

“The price of gold is rising, but that’s not the most important thing.” That’s the start of a compelling article our CEO, Keith Weiner, wrote this week about our current environment.

Last spring, CEO Keith Weiner appeared in Executive Global Magazine, with the article, Why Gold, And Why Now? In it, he walks us through the growing US debt numbers and the dwindling yields of Treasury bonds – as well as their increasing risk. And explains gold as an investment.
