Silver Short Positions Fallacies
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
This buying frenzy will drive the price far higher than most people imagine at this point, since there are far more “poor” people than rich people and since there is far less silver than gold available in investment form. The percentage gain in silver and silver related investments will be noted in financial history, just as the silver “corner” by the Hunt Brothers was in 1980!

Silver and Gold Allocation
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
One question I often receive is how much money an investor should put into the precious metals. There is no simple answer, yet I want to remain consistent. When I wrote The Ten Rules of Silver Investing, it was stated that 10% was enough of a diversification. Since that book was published nearly a decade ago, I have told my readers that perhaps an allocation of up to 20% might be considered, due to the current economic environment on a worldwide basis.

Silver—Two Sides of the Story
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
What drives the price of silver? Certainly it is a function of buying and selling pressure, and primarily, this price setting mechanism takes place on the COMEX. However, so much has been written recently about short selling, price management, and naked sales, and on and on, that I wanted to take a more basic look at demand.

Silver - Still No Respect
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
I fully expect the summer months to be less than magnificently bullish for the precious metals. On the other hand, I fully expect the overall financial system to provide such huge indications of the complete instability of a monetary system without a rudder, that many astute investors will ponder the merits of anchoring their portfolios with the top-tier commodities of human existence—gold and silver.

Precious Signs
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
One of the clearest signs that the bottom is complete will be the precious metal mining equities refusing to move down further in spite of the fact the metals themselves may continue to find lower prices. In other words, I fully expect to see the mining stocks form a bottom before the metals themselves.

Silver -- Is It Yours?
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
In 2001 I was asked to write the “Ten Rules of Silver Investing” for the investing rules book published in Great Britain in 2001.

Silver Price Manipulation
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
This week I must address the latest Commodity and Futures Trading Commission (CTFC) findings that, “The U.S. commodities regulatory body found no evidence that silver prices had been manipulated downward by short sellers after re-examining long-term and recent allegations of misconduct.”

Short Silver
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
I have forecast that at some point the physical silver market will dominate the paper silver market. The question I ask now is, “Are we there yet?”

Significance of Silver as an Investment
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
In days gone by silver was not an investment it was money, in fact silver passed through more hands in everyday commerce than any other real money including gold. I state real money to distinguish silver money from modern paper money, which has flooded the world “money” supply the past three decades.

The Ultimate Gold Trade
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
What a week for the precious metals! Gold blasts past $1000 per ounce, and silver trades above $21, and then suddenly the floor drops out from under both metals. In fact, the financial markets in general seem to be reeling from the announcements of further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and Morgan buying Bear Stearns for $2 per share when this company was trading for $170 about a year ago.

Importance of Silver and Gold
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
Simply, gold and silver in physical form, bullion or coins, are on one side of the economic fence and everything else is on the other side. This means that all other financial assets owned outright or otherwise are dependent upon the “system” for settlement. This is what the current strength in physical gold and silver is shouting at us right now.

Is Silver the Sleeper?
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
Naturally, putting your neck out for a gold price leads to the next logical question and that is, “What price will silver reach at its high point?” This question is much more difficult to answer, because silver is not considered to be money in any government’s monetary base, either officially or unofficially.

How High Is High?
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
A question I often receive is, "How high do you expect the price of silver and gold to reach?" The simple answer is that no one really knows for sure, but it will most likely be far higher than the average investor expects.

Good Things Come in Small Packages
By: David Morgan
Pure and simple, many people in and outside of the precious metals area have come to the conclusion that “SILVER IS TOO BULKY.” Before going off on a rant about this general (mis)perception, it becomes a challenge for this writer to lead you to draw your own conclusions.

Taking “the Skinny” to Deutschland
By: David Morgan
The market is misunderstood and participation is much better than two to three years ago, still mild relative to almost every other asset class. This of course presents opportunities for those wise enough to see them and take action. Both gold and to a lesser degree silver have held up well this year and continue to show strength.

Rich Investor, Poor Investor
By: David Morgan
With the real estate market having a surplus in some of the major boom areas, and aboveground silver supplies dwindling dangerously low, having lost approximately 1.5 billion ounces of the 2-billion-ounce inventory since 1980, don’t you think chance favors taking profits on some of the more marginal real estate holdings and moving some of your assets into the precious metals sector?

The Silver Millionaire
By: David Morgan
If the inflationary pressures continue to build as the U.S. “dollar” continues to be printed to service the outstanding debt obligations, it is quite possible that the number of paper millionaires will increase over time. However, the ability to become a real millionaire—a “silver millionaire”—will become more and more difficult.

A Frightening Worldwide Currency Crisis
By: David Morgan, Silver Investor
I was asked to reenact a dramatic scene from the movie Rollover (1981), which is a rather frightening worldwide currency crisis, depicted when oil money is withdrawn from the banking system. Although a total hypothetical scenario, it brings into crystal clear focus what systemic risk is all about.
