  • With that description of smart money, the next logical question to ask is, what are they looking at now? To answer that question, understand the time horizon they have in mind. They’re not looking at next week or next month like a trader would, nor so far out that it will take the rest of their life to realize a profit. The smart money is looking at the likely trends over the next few years.

  • Stick with the guys that know whats going on. Look at it this way; those that know whats up will be praying for a selloff to buy more physical, NOT waiting for it to go up to buy more. This is clearly NOT a bubble or anything anywhere near it. The only bubble remaining to be pooped is the $US as, that, in my humble opinion is still overvalued by 100% of its current value.

  • This is even more interesting when you consider that it’s the ETFs where most of the public – especially those that are new to the market – first invest in silver. So while the metal has doubled in the past seven months, total investment in the funds is still far beneath many popular blue-chip stocks.

  • We believe much of it stems from a widely held misconception that gold is forming a financial bubble. It’s a fairly straightforward view – that gold buyers are merely foolhardy speculators buying on a whim with no rationale other than to sell to the ‘greater fool’ at higher prices in the future. It’s a view that assumes that gold has no intrinsic value and is simply a speculative asset that has captured investors’ imaginations.

  • Now here’s the fun part. Let’s say fund managers as a group realize that bonds, equities, and real estate have become poor or risky investments and so decide to increase their allocation to the gold market. If they doubled their exposure to gold and gold stocks – which would still represent only 0.6% of their total assets – it would amount to $93.3 billion in new purchases.

  • Less than 30 months ago, silver was $8.80 an ounce. As of today, it’s nearly quadrupled in value — up 385%. It has more than doubled in the last 12 months alone. While these are wonderful gains for those who already own the metal, every other investor is left wondering if it’s too late to get in.

  • Another ‘top indicator’ that I look for is the occupancy rates for safety deposit box facilities like The Storage in Hong Kong or Commonwealth Vault right here in Auckland. When these firms have a long waiting lists, or new facilities are sprouting up, it suggests that public awareness for gold is increasing... and the more that happens, the closer we get to the top.

  • Stocks might increase in value, but they also might decrease. Bonds have a fixed maturity value that will be watered down over time. A business or a farm that produces a product where the price may be increased to overcome the loss of wealth of payment will do. And precious metals. Gold is the best as it has never lost its’ true wealth in all of history.
