this is from christopher barker. he mentions silver standard and the preliminary assessment for snowfield/bluejack, but he likes other silver companies better:
"Mission control, we have ignition!"
Following Tuesday's convincing breakout to fresh highs by both gold and silver, a strongly supportive technical environment provided the spark to ignite the fuel for gold and silver.
Everything that is required to lift gold and silver prices into the parabolic rise that I've predicted is already in place. All systems are "go," including:
- Overdue recognition of the fact that gold is a currency: check.
- Heavily impaired and deteriorating condition of major reserve currencies: check.
- Expanding Western sovereign debt amid stagnant economic conditions: check.
- Unwaveringly accommodative fiscal policy for an extended period of time: check.
- Explicit, official support for gold from China: check.
- Seasonal strength in demand from India: check.
- Robust and increasing global demand, including that from central banks: check.
- Growing public scrutiny of oddities within the global bullion markets: check.
After striking a new all-time high of $1,271.25 intraday, gold managed to close above its previous record in a glittering show of force. Not to be outdone, silver continued to gleam with a long-awaited push beyond its prior 21st-century high to finish near $20.50 per ounce.
