Silver is getting very close to a mania phase based on signals from the Dow/gold ratio previously presented. Furthermore, since it is normal for silver to lag gold’s performance, and given that gold has performed so well over the last couple of years, it is expected that we would likely see an even better performance by silver over the coming years.

This is great, but it can lead to some issues with their skills in the field. The…

Most of these shows featured sprawling midwestern ag fields, big bucks, even bigger tower blinds, and, of course, the whispered…
