Weekly closes:
Gold $1246.60 UP $8.70 or 0.007%
Silver $19.85 UP $0.79 or 4%
The daily chart of the Gold/Silver Ratio from stockcharts.com which is linked here http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=%24GOLD%3A%24SILVER clearly shows that the stage is set for silver to outperform gold in the months ahead on a percentage basis as the amount of silver required to purchase an ounce of gold declines.
The ratio is currently under the 50 and 200 day moving average lines which indiates that there is significant chart pressure for the ratio to continue lower thus making the conversion into silver from gold more expensive. Although gold will continue to advance, silver is just going to become more expensive relative to it.
Although silver is approaching the round number of $20 an ounce, some type of resistance should be anticipated. The recent weekly trading range for the ratio has been from the 68 to 70 area down to 62 which may indicate with a ratio last of 62.85 that the metal may be due to take a breather with the ratio ticking up.
If the recent buying pressure continues and silver smashes past the $20 level and below the 60 to 62 area on the ratio chart, the metal could easily catch fire. Beware of the price volatility in silver. It's safer to buy in down markets as daily trading is greatly influenced by the dark side who control daily swings for profit to a great extent.
In the event silver backs off, a scale down buying program would be prudent considering the probabilities are growing that silver will be seeking higher levels sooner or later.
Leaving money with the banks doesn't cut it for me as almost all of them are fundamentally insolvent, believe it, along with the interest they pay doesn't come close to keeping us even with rising food prices at the supermarket. So, the idea of silver and gold coins is a no brainer. Keeping them out of bank boxes is another step in the right direction.
In the very near future the IRS will be requiring purchases of $600 and more to be reported to them by the sellers of especially, the precious metal coins and bars.
With the price of gold being so expensive for most people, it is envisioned with the new requirement that there will be significant demand for silver coins in small lots for those who still conconsider their financial matters as being their own personal business and as a hedge against continuing currency debasement.
The most convenient conservative way to position yourself for the expected higher silver market is by purchasing the 90% silver/10% copper U.S. coins minted prior to 1965. These are easily aquired from coin dealers or on e-Bay but watch the premiums over silver content. After a little investigation, it will become apparent to you what percentage premium is the cheapest.
Disclosure: I have been acquiring silver since 2004 and plan to purchase it on a continuing monthly basis going forward. |

Thanks for scooping the letter and posting! Before anyone reads my words, please scroll down and read what I am responding to.
Two major things come to mind:
1) Diversification, if we can, putting our money/assets or hearts in the best places we KNOW are solid. Gold, and the Original Sixteen to One Mine, is a grand choice. I remember 1ozt gold-bars offered and wish I had purchased many form the Mine (I still hope to, and there is positive potential for this.)
2) RECOGNIZE, in the latter part of the article posted below...how the manipulation of things in Washington is an attempt to buy votes.
So, I implore everyone to read the entry below.
My personal feeling is that our GRAND USA is one made of strong self-determination and optimism of outcome! recognition of |

I rarely copy a newsletter to our FORUM. Marc Cuniberti is a local host of a weekly radio show on KVMR FM 89.5. It’s a quick read. MMM
Money Matters Newsletter: Market Rally reflects investor hope! We are not done says Wall St! Update Sept 1, 2010
Marc’s Notes:
The market shot up on today’s open because of hopeful news from China that counter acted the recent onslaught of dire news pieces that have pummeled the US markets. You have to admit this market is dying for good news and any hint of it sends the indexes soaring. Keeping that in mind we must realize investors are still very positive on the “recovery” and believe the spin coming from the Wall Street Cheerleaders, amazing as that may seem. I find it incredible that also out today was a bad hiring report showing more job losses yet the market ignores that and focuses on China. What this tells me is that we are nowhere near a bottom as contrarian economics says when most investors give up, a bottom is near. With all this “hope” and investors buying ANY good news, they are nowhere near capitulation. This means the markets still have buyers waiting so we are not done going down, but these rallies can be violent. Wow, up 230 as I write this.
Gold is looking great still and we are looking to close out our UNWPX when it doubles, but we are still a long way out from there. Meanwhile our dividend payers are holding up, those that didn’t get stopped out that is.
This thought made me mad yesterday. I was thinking about that Flash Crash a few months back and how many listeners, clients and investors got stopped out of their positions way below their stop prices. The markets rebounded immediately and good people lost positions and profits to Wall Street. This was a blatant fleecing of the American public. The SEC could have negated the whole day, or at least paid people what their stops said, but know, you got railed and Wall Street Brokers got great deals on shares sold to them way under market, then these shares immediately went to real value and the brokers got all these shares in the end. Is it possible these houses needed money and engineered this thing? Maybe. Or maybe they just saw a good thing come their way and said too bad. Do you think if the brokers and banks were on the burnt end, they would have had the trades reversed?
Of course.
This whole market, this whole bail out thing, this whole bank rescue, its all a disgraceful sham, sanctioned by Washington in exchange for campaign money. The system is rotten from stem to stern.
We as investors are stuck with it however. So we do the best we can. Realize this market is now one big casino, where you pay your money and take your chances. When even legitimate stops and protections are by-passed thru flash crashes, you have to wonder where can we go for protection, to keep what we earned.
The answer is TRUE DIVERSIFICATION.
That means:
Gold and Silver in possession. Overseas money. (Offshore).
FDIC SAVINGS ACCOUNTS where they have to guarantee your money. (Not money market funds by the way).
Dividend Paying stocks, not NON PAYING mutual fund or stocks.
Gold and Silver funds and stocks. Overseas stocks.
Your primary residence. Foreign Currencies. Energy.
A bit in gamblers plays if you are a sophisticated investor and can tolerate loss possibilities.
Gun, Garden, Dog, Jeep, Gas, Cash, Friends, Family, Local contacts, debt free, healthy and mobile.
Stay tuned for FALL market activity. Tis’ the season. Its about to get volatile.
Upcoming Show Tomorrow: THURSDAY Sept 2, 2010. Noon PST.
“You Print, I Print”.
I describe the relationships between countries and currencies when one entity prints massive amounts of money (debt) and how it affects other economies and currencies. Important topic to comprehend so listen in.
All for now,
