I have been keeping an eye on #silver and am waiting on a breakout. I think as inflation starts to creep up we could see investors start shifting into precious metals.

"Even though #silver prices soared (and definitely not just because of the Hunts' buying, either) they came back down swiftly."

So why did they soar and then come down? Sometimes I find it difficult to find the rhyme and reason for these moves. And even harder to try to predict them.

I have been waiting for a break out in silver and gold for months. I expect the added Federal stimulus to dramatically increase inflation and with that in mind I agree that #silver could potentially be a great opportunity.

Yes definitely bouncing but it has done that plenty. We'll see what happens! Likely making another full market update tomorrow. #gold #SILVER #bitcoin #DowJones

The bank was ABN AMRO - A Dutch bank in Amsterdam. Honestly, I thought they made an interesting point in that article simply just noting the recent profit taking and USDX strength. Though with seeing what is happening in the market right now, and seeing gold hold these maintenance levels I don't know that we'll see it. I'm surprised with silver's current level though, a perfect time to buy in my opinion. I see gold maintaining for now and seeing what this market is going to do. NEW VIDEO tomorrow! #GOLD #SILVER

I think #gold and #silver will suffer as long as the #bitcoin and #crypcurrency craze continues. $GLD $SLV $BITCOMP

I have been wondering which metal would provide the most upside in a down turn. Been debating between #silver and #gold.

Personally I disagree with the assessment that silver is not "real money" but I do think some of the cases made by silver bulls seem implausible. With that being said I do not think silver is falling to $8 an ounce, last time it did that the economy was booming and I do not think we are entering into another 90's growth period. #silver

Why is #gold a better investment than say #silver, or other #PreciousMetals? $gld $slv

I agree, #inflation is the evil of the masses, benefits the spenders and borrowers at the expense of the frugal and savers. But how does one protect their investment from the ravages of inflation? #Gold and #silver are not proven to be a source of wealth in inflationary times and also do not provide any income?

#Silver chose the path to a breakout and a new high! Very interesting. $SLV

It is true that I#ndia has a parallel economy of gold as it is economically and culturally rich. However it would be false to say that silver might replace gold because most of the household's who have gold as savings have it in form of jewelry that can be wore during special cultural occasions. #Gold would never loose his cultural importance so individuals would never sell gold to buy silver. However, as we know India is a growing economy individual citizens and family see a growth of income and are looking for investment opportunities. For example: real estate. #Silver can be the next boom as India economically grows under the new Prime Minister. One has to look at how Indian citizens are accepting of gold as social currency and that would determine its future in the markets.

Depends on whether the Fed is perceived as behind the curve or not. But I agree, it is best to have balance in this atmosphere where the economy is stable and the Fed is in hike stance. I am however, long US Treasury #bonds as a contrary (to the rate hike story) play while being long stocks (and cash) as well. #Gold is a long-term portfolio balance to me. #Silver more spec.

I agree that #silver has long been overshadowed by #gold. But 2017 is looking up for silver investors! $SLV

Safe to say #Gold and #Silver will take your money a long way. Nice article!
