Silver Producers Enter Profitable Phase, Part II: Reaping the Dividends
By: Sean Rakhimov | 28 June, 2011
|
| It's all great of course, that silver has finally broken out of the decades long resistance level in the $22-25 area and the race is on towards bigger and better numbers. As of this writing silver is still trading around $36/oz, which is about $20 over the price it was at when we penned the prequel to this piece. That's a lot of dough that should be landing on the bottom line of silver producers' balance sheets. So we thought an update was in order to provide a context to all the moaning out there that silver has "crashed" from $50 to mid $30ies presently. Full Story |
Silver Going Mainstream in 2011
By: The Gold Report and Sean Rakhimov | 15 January, 2011
|
| Never mind the correction in the price of silver, says Silver Strategies Editor Sean Rakhimov; better things are ahead. "It may be volatile; it may be steep; but it should be short-lived," he says, adding that he expects silver to rise well above its 2010 high at some point in 2011. Some of that price support could come from governments entering the silver market. Find out all the reasons for this in this exclusive interview with The Gold Report. Full Story |
Why Governments Will Buy Silver
By: Sean Rakhimov | 2 December, 2010
|
| Over the last several months we have been pondering if governments will come into the silver market. Before we get into that, it is important to note that governments are very different animals and there are over two hundred of them out there. Therefore, it is a very liberal generalization to lump them all together as if their needs, objectives and agendas were the same, thus expecting them all to act in the same fashion for the same reasons, is a big stretch. That said, it's the stigma, the psychological effect, the sentiment and the message it would send to markets that prompts us to group them together in investors' minds as a market force. Full Story |
Silver Producers Enter Profitable Phase
By: Sean Rakhimov | 30 August, 2010
|
| The latest quarterly (Q2, ended June 30, 2010) results from a number of silver producers confirm that they are now entering a phase of sustainable profits. We will look at several companies and try to make sense of the numbers as well as make an EPS projection for the calendar year 2010. Full Story |
The Fear Trade Is In
By: Sean Rakhimov, Silver Strategies | 1 July, 2010
|
| Gold has been the star performer compared to silver in last couple of years. Or so you would think based on the headlines and the amount of attention either gets. That is because gold is the big dog in the race - it is a bigger receptacle and logical place to go for the "big" money. However, the main reason we zeroed in on silver back around year 2000 was our conclusion that in the coming hard assets bull market silver would outperform gold comparative terms 3-to-1. The other metric we have cited in the same context is that gold-to-silver ratio would get below 20:1 before the end of this bull market and possibly below 10:1. For reference, as of this writing the ratio is around 70:1. Full Story |
Institutionalized Market
By: Sean Rakhimov | 19 November, 2009
|
| The new realities of the precious metal markets are inescapably obvious. In the classic - three legs up, two legs down - bull market pattern, we are undoubtedly in the second "institutional" or "big money" stage. For Elliott Wave fans this would be the 'C' wave, characterized as the longest with a potential break mid-way. Full Story |
Positioning For The Next Move In Silver
By: Sean Rakhimov | 15 October, 2009
|
| Despite our reservations in the short term, we are very bullish on silver longer term. More importantly, we believe that the next big move up in silver is about to begin. Not tomorrow, not next week, but in the medium term, say next couple of years, we should see silver at much higher prices, perhaps on the order of a double the current level. Full Story |
Sean Rakhimov: The Calm Before the Storm
By: The Gold Report and Sean Rakhimov | 17 April, 2009
|
| SilverStrategies.com editor Sean Rakhimov expects the economic crisis may go on for a generation even with (or because of) all the government intervention. In this exclusive interview with the Gold Report, he tells us he expects physical gold and silver to lead the parade. When picking stocks to buy now, he says investors have to decide for themselves whether a company will survive the washout; it may be tough going from here to there, but ignoring short-term market fluctuations and sticking with survivors should prove beneficial in the long run.

Three Pictures of Silver
By: SilverStratetgies.com team | 10 March, 2008
|
| So far so good - the pattern proves persistent rate of growth and almost identical time span for subsequent consolidations, each consolidation lasted two years. However, we expect increased volatility and ascent of silver price to accelerate. We're five years into this bull market and there is no cycle top in sight yet. Full Story |
Speaking Of Silver
By: Sean Rakhimov | 9 April, 2007
|
| We'll start with the bad news. The bad news is that there are very few people who know much about the silver market on both sides of the argument: bulls and bears. That is our unequivocal conclusion. It's also meant to be a warning. There are some very influential people with good track records and credentials in various aspects of investing and analysis who have spoken out on silver in the last year or two. Some of them were bullish, which of course, we tend to like. Then there were a few bearish ones. Full Story |

Mixed Bag of Chinese Cookies
By: Sean Rakhimov | 2 March, 2006
|
| We just returned from a nine day trip to China. Having spent a few days in Shanghai, a day in Guangzhou and the rest of time in places less traveled, including two silver projects, we had some ideas that we’d like to share. Normally we stick to silver in our writing, but this time we felt compelled to stray if just a little bit. Then again, as you will read below, silver is such a unique metal, such an integral part of our lives that in any type of development in modern society will have a “silver angle”. Full Story |
Silver Continues to Outperform Gold
By: Sean Rakhimov | 23 December, 2005
|
| It has been a very good year for silver and 2006 should be at least as good. We’ll skip the “nothing goes straight up” rhetoric and get right down to it. Looking in the rear-view mirror at the year past we reflect on what it has or has not done for you - the silver investor. We find a great deal of satisfaction in proving the nay-sayers were wrong yet again. Full Story |
A Layman’s Case For Silver
By: Sean Rakhimov | 23 November, 2005
|
| There have been quite a few articles on silver and its potential to appreciate in paper money terms lately. We agree. We don’t necessarily agree with all the reasons put forth to prove that theory by fellow writers or share all the views on the subject, but we agree with the underlying premise: silver price is set to go up in all paper currencies.

But we can’t expect the markets to be rational, can we? Trouble is, in the long run they are and that is exactly what we’re betting on. Full Story |
