An Extremely Important Note On The Silver Market. Plus A Look At The US Dollar, Oil, And Stocks

The secular low for silver in the current (bull) cycle was $13.83/oz. on December 31, 2015.  The all-time high of approximately $50/oz. occurred in 1980 and 2011.  Keep these inflection points in mind.  When silver does breach $50, the sky is the limit.

James Turk – Oil Plunges 6 Percent To New Lows But What About Gold And Silver?

http://kingworldnews.com/james-turk-oil-plunges-another-6-percent-to-new-lows-but-what-about-gold-and-silver/

...the precious metals continue to trade within a 2-tiered market. The two markets are interrelated because they intersect at the spot price of gold, but they are fundamentally different.
One tier is the physical market, and the second tier is of course the paper market. In the former, people own physical gold. In contrast, in the paper market, people only own exposure to the gold price. They don’t own gold.
When you own a futures contract, option or gold ETF, you don’t own physical gold. Similarly if you own a forward contract for which someone like a bullion bank is obligated to deliver metal to you at some future date, you own paper-gold. All paper-gold comes with is counterparty risk, which changes gold from a safe-haven to just another financial instrument.

Documents: Leaked Industry E-Mails and Reports

This is more evidence from geologists who are dampening expectations for shale.  Yes, I do believe we should pursue this and other alternative energy resources--including renewables, but due to more efficient extraction (i.e., horizontal drilling), the life cycles of oil and natural gas fields are much shorter in duration than what the hopium describes.  Peak oil subscribes to the theory that we will not run out of oil--rather, we will run out of easy-to-reach, and cheap oil.

While this "bubble" in shale will end in tears, it is the investments in the technology that will be end up being a disaster.  Prices will remain elevated as long as these forecasts for production remain overly optimistic.

Dollar no longer primary oil currency as China begins to sell oil using Yuan

I've warned of this day coming many times, and despite complete neglect by the US media, this is probably THE biggest event in decades affecting the welfare and standard of living for all Americans. The USDollar is about to lose its global reserve currency status, as the "petrodollar" is no longer the international trade settlement currency.  Countries will no longer need USDollars in cross-border (oil) transactions.  This will have negative ramifications for the strength of the dollar--as well as reduced demand for US Treasury bonds.  Sinking bond prices = rising bond yields = rising interest rates = US government bankruptcy.

Expect our purchasing power to plummet, i.e. rising consumer prices despite stagnant and declining incomes.  A sinking economy will also mean social unrest.  See southern Europe.
