Silver continues to be a singularly neglected and unloved investment, and has been for years now, but as we will proceed to see, this is not a situation that is likely to continue for much longer. On its 10-year chart we can see that silver has basically been moving sideways marking out a low base pattern since late 2014 - late 2015, following a severe bearmarket from its 2011 highs. For a while...Read More

Yes, it may be hard to believe, but physical silver investment has grown the most since the 2008 financial crisis compared to the other sectors. And while industrial users consume the highest amount of silver in the overall market annual...Read More

McClellan Financial Publications, IncPosted Feb 28, 2019February 21, 2019Gold prices recently swooped up to a rather spiky looking top, and on Feb. 21 a big drop started the work of unwinding that blowoff.It was a good looking spike upward as far as gold itself was concerned.But it did not come with confirmation from other prices which tend to move in sympathy with gold. This week’s chart co...Read More

While the demand for precious metals is certainly off its highs from prior years, investors would be quite surprised by the astonishing amount of physical gold and silver investment since the 2008 financial crisis. Only by comparing the gold and silver investment demand in the prior decade, can we truly understand how the precious metals market has changed, and probably forever.Now, before I...Read More

You're nobody else's liability, so I know when I buy you, I'm not relying on anyone else to live up to their end of...Read More
McClellan Financial Publications, IncPosted May 6, 2019May 3, 2019A little bit of fear over the old saying about “Sell in May and go away” has led the VIX Index to pop up through its 50-day moving average (50MA), but stopping right at its upper 50-1 Bollinger Band.The VIX’s pattern of higher lows is not confirming of the higher price highs, and for now that is a problem for the b...Read More
