Jeff Clark of Casey Research has just released a new commentary laying out his reasoning for buying silver right now. From the rising cost of production to Asian demand, Clark goes into detail about the latest silver fundamentals that serious precious metals investors need to be aware of.

The drugs of choice for governments—money printing, deficit spending, and nonstop debt increases—have proved too addictive for world leaders to break their habits. At this point, the US and other governments around the world have toked, snorted, and mainlined their way into an addictive corner; they are completely hooked. The Fed and their international central-bank peers are the drug pushers, providing the easy money to keep the high going. And despite the Fed’s latest taper of bond purchases, past actions will not be consequence-free.

At first, drug-induced highs feel euphoric, but eventually the body breaks down from the abuse. Similarly, artificial stimuli and sub-rosa manipulations by central banks have delivered their special effects—but addiction always leads to a systemic breakdown.

When government financial heroin addicts are finally forced into cold-turkey withdrawal, the ensuing crisis will spark a rush into precious metals. The situation will be exacerbated when assets perceived as “safe” today—like bonds and the almighty greenback—enter bear markets or crash entirely.

As a result, the rise in silver prices from current levels won’t be 10% or 20%—but a double, triple, or more.”

According to a new report released by the Silver Institute, the demand for silver is expected to exceed projected global GDP growth. Silver demand should grow by 5% per year from 2014 to 2016. Demand for industrial silver, which accounts for over 50% of global demand, will rise due to its use in three key areas: flexible electronics displays, LEDs, and semiconductor computer chips.

With the introduction of these advanced uses of silver in the electrical and electronics category, which last year provided over 40% of total silver industrial demand, along with growth in established uses, we should see silver industrial demand develop even further, especially as economies grow globally.” – Michael DiRienzo, Executive Director of the Silver Institute.

If you’ve been following the mainstream media, you might be under the false impression that the largest consumer of gold in the world – China – is no longer so enamored with the yellow metal. The financial media could not be more wrong, and it should come as no surprise to our readers that they are cherry-picking their facts. To clear up just how strong Chinese gold demand really is, Jeff Clark of Casey Research has published this in-depth analysis of the Chinese gold hoard. He clears up all sorts of common misconceptions that have been in the news lately.

More and more mainstream investors are waking up to the economic problems stemming from the Federal Reserve’s unprecedented amount of money-printing in the last six years. This new opinion piece from Investor’s Business Daily takes a look at Janet Yellen’s congressional testimony and explains why the economy will be reeling for years from the damage done by QE. If you agree with people like Peter Schiff and believe that the “Real Crash” is approaching, make sure you’ve protected your savings with physical gold and silver.

The recovery is not yet ‘complete,’ Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen suggested Tuesday, but the central bank plans to let interest rates rise anyway. We’ll soon learn just how solid this so-called recovery is.

‘The economy is continuing to make progress toward the Fed’s objectives of maximum employment and price stability,’ Yellen told Congress, predicting ‘a moderate pace’ of growth for the economy ‘over the next several years.’

Sadly, we don’t fully share her rosy outlook. Indeed, we think the Fed’s extraordinary interventions over the past 5-1/2 years have distorted markets and prices, and have held the economy back.”

In a new commentary published by The Gold Republic Journal, renowned author and economist Jim Rickards explains why the Federal Reserve cannot safely exit its quantitative easing program. Rickards argues that the supposed strength of the US markets is a complete mirage created by the Fed’s policies.

The Federal Reserve, the central bank of the US, is nearing the end of its ability to manipulate the US economy without producing consequences worse that those it set out to avoid in 2008. The Fed has no good exits from seven years of market manipulation. If it continues its current policy of reducing purchases of assets, the so-called ‘tapering,’ it risks throwing the U.S. into a recession. If it reverses course and pauses the taper and later increases asset purchases, it risks destroying confidence in the dollar among foreign creditors of the U.S. Both outcomes are potentially disastrous, but there are no good outcomes on the horizon. This is the result of manipulating markets to the point where they no longer function as markets providing useful price signals and guiding the efficient allocation of capital. Today markets are a mirage, created by the Federal Reserve, which is caught in a prison of its own device.”

In its latest Investment Commentary, the World Gold Council explains why gold outperformed most assets in the first half of 2014, contrary to many analysts’ predictions. The report also shares the latest research on why gold is an essential asset for protecting your portfolio from high-risk debt and potential market volatility. The big takeaway – when it comes to risk protection in the second half of 2014, gold is one of your cheapest and most reliable options.

Gold is up by 9.2% so far this year. This surprised many market participants as most analysts predicted lower prices. Some investors took advantage of last year’s price correction to buy gold but investment demand has remained tepid. We consider that the current environment of high bond issuance, tight credit spreads and record low volatility continues to offer a prime opportunity for investors to add gold. In our view, gold can reduce overall portfolio risk and it is cheaper to implement than many volatility-based strategies.”

By Jeff Clark of Casey Research

We’ve all heard of the inflationary horrors so many countries have lived through in the past. Developing nations and advanced economies alike – no country in history has escaped the debilitating fallout of unrepentant currency abuse. And we expect the same fallout to impact the US, the EU, Japan – all of today’s countries that have turned to the printing press as a solution to their economic woes.

Now, it seems obvious to us that the way to protect oneself against high inflation is to

Politicians and the Federal Reserve are spinning tales of a slow but steady economic recovery in the United States. But economists and financial advisors like Peter Schiff are not fooled by the double speak. The Economic Collapse Blog published a good summary of recent major economic data and news that indicate the picture is not nearly as rosy as Washington would like us to believe.

A MarketWatch commentary has analyzed the Federal Reserve’s transcripts from the 2008 recession and found that it is grossly incompetent at predicting and understanding recessions. There doesn’t seem to be any good reasons to expect that the Fed has improved its market diagnostic skills. What does that mean for investors today? Don’t trust the official hype – the economy is doing a lot worse than Yellen’s Fed claims.
