In Depth Silver Analysis

Gold and silver have remained in a long consolidation phase with no indication at this time when that may change. Meanwhile, Ahead of the Herd published this in depth look at the long term prospects for silver which remain solid. Below is an extract from the conclusion of the report.

====================================================================

Conclusion

"As stated at the top, the correlation between gold and silver since 1975 has been 0.8876. The 10-year correlation coefficient is 0.7511. However this year, the correlation has dropped significantly to 0.1959.

Despite the weaker correlation between silver and gold prices this year, only 0.19 compared to the normal 0.88, silver followed gold downward in June, after a US Federal Reserve meeting suggested that the Fed could reduce its $120 billion monthly bond-buying program. Silver mining stocks, particularly producers whose fortunes are closely aligned with the silver price, saw a correction.

They remain deeply undervalued. How undervalued?

Precious metals commentator Adam Hamilton recently crunched the numbers. Analyzing second-quarter earnings from the top 15 silver miners in the leading SIL Global X Silver Miners ETF, Hamilton found that production surged 16.9% year on year, pushing Q2 earnings up by an astounding 472.9%! He writes:

Such incredibly strong earnings in the face of sentiment-battered stock prices have fueled extraordinarily-cheap valuations in some of these silver miners. Out of the 12 companies in the SIL top 15 that have cumulative earnings over this past year, 5 now have trailing-twelve-month price-to-earnings ratios way down in the teens or even single-digits! High-flying silver stocks almost never get this undervalued, it is amazing."

Battery Free Wearables Using Silver?

It seems that more and more creative ways to use silver are being explored. One determined poster in the Wall Street Silver forum actually came up with a list of 100 uses for silver . One interesting new potential use is described in a recent publication released by the Silver Institute . They ask if battery free wearables might be part of our future. Below is an excerpt from the publication explaining how silver factors in to the equation. Are Battery-Free Wearables Possible?  "What if wearables could be powered by electricity generated by the body’s own heat?  Researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) are studying whether an ordinary thermocouple -- two different pieces of metal that generate electricity when sandwiched together in the presence of heat -- could generate enough electrical energy to operate a wearable device like heart rate or blood pressure monitors without the need for batteries.  Thermocouples are common in devices like fire a...

                                                            Ivan on Kitco News (Youtube image) The Wall Street Silver subgroup on Reddit burst on the scene in late January 2021. Wallstreetbets on Reddit had made media headlines with its short squeeze play on Gamestop. Seemingly, out of that effort emerged the idea that the silver market was also set up for a potential short squeeze. Ivan Bayouhki, a member of the Wallstreetbets group, emerged as a leader for the new r/Wallstreetsilver sub group on Reddit. Ivan kindly agreed to take time to do a Q&A style interview to discuss the mission and goals for Wall Street Silver over the long term. While the Wallstreetbets group tends to focus on shorter term investment goals related to specific stocks like Gamestop, Ivan sees Wall Street Silver as a potential long term movement for him now.
