From the market peak in May 2008 to the market low in March 2009, the S&P 500 lost a whopping 52.8% of its value. More than eight million jobs were lost. The unemployment rate nearly doubled from 5.4% in May 2008 to 10% by October 2009.
But believe it or not, that wasn't a real financial collapse.
Just ask any Argentinean.

We can make a great argument that platinum is a great investment with soaring industrial demand. We can argue that gold is a great investment with soaring monetary demand. However, silver is the only metal in the world where both arguments can be made, silver is an industrial metal, jewelery, and a monetary safe haven just like gold.

“Bigger is better” is a bit of boastful bravado that proud Texans are renowned for proclaiming, often with a genteel southern smile. After all, the ever-industrious citizens of this sprawling, oil-rich southern state like to do things on a grand scale.
David Morgan, founder of the Morgan Report, is often considered an authority on silver, but he considers himself a precious metals aficionado. More than that, he identifies himself as a teacher. Early on, Mr. Morgan put the brakes on our interview to make something clear. “Silver and gold are not my mission statements,” he said. “My mission is to teach and empower people to understand the benefits of an honest financial system. What we really need is a system where it is fair, honest, and transparent for everyone involved, from the poorest to the richest, and everyone between.”

Modern industrial demand uses of silver will become more important in determining silver’s price in the coming years, eventually outweighing investment demand, said an official with a major mining firm.

Precious metals have been one of the best-performing asset classes of 2012 – with silver being the star performer.In the year to date, platinum prices have risen 22pc, gold prices are 13pc ahead, with palladium bringing up the rear with a gain of 8.5pc. Precious metals have put the 6.5pc rally in the FTSE 100 this year in the shade, but can the gains continue, particular in silver?

Were you cursing at your computer screen when silver nearly tripled during the short 9 months from September 2010 to May 2011? Silver at $20 seemed like an insurmountable threshold for quite some time. This caused many silver investors to give up just prior to the ascent, completely missing the ride towards $50.
Ted Butler is one of the better-known silver analysts (and longtime silver bulls) in the world. The founder of Butler Research, a monthly publication focused on precious metals, Butler has been pounding the table on silver since way back when it was trading for $4/ounce.

The debt-based monetary system creates an illusion of wealth. It allows for claims on real goods to significantly exceed the actual amount of real goods. You then have a number of people believing they have wealth, since they have claims (pieces of paper or tokens) showing that they have these real assets, whereas, in reality, if everyone was to claim the real goods, there would not be enough to go around.

Psychologists tell us that there are five stages of grief over loss of whatever kind, usually death, or breaking up with a loved one, which are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. I’ve applied these to the loss of the dollar, as I see most people today are still stuck in denial, and here’s how to deal with that.

We are at the beginning of a major shift out of paper assets into real assets [and] those that are starting to come to this revelation have no real understanding what they are doing when they are buying gold…[they just want] to get out of paper assets. I bought gold as a gut reaction [but] the more I learned about silver, [however,] the more I realized that silver was the smart decision.

Silver Price Forecast:
We are at the edge of a major economic crisis. Our monetary system is the underlying cause of this major crisis. The massive debt bubble created by our monetary system is about to burst. The demonetization of gold and silver, has over the years diverted value from these metals, to all paper assets (such as bonds) linked to the debt-based monetary system.

China has cut exports of silver by 283 tonnes from the 5,670 tonnes exported in 2011, traders suggest that less exports mean tighter markets that could eventually bolster prices.

In my writing a couple of themes occur with regularity: how "fractional-reserve banking" (with purely fiat currencies) is nothing less than serial stealing from the general population; and how gold and silver can protect people from this cycle of theft.

Oftentimes perception, and not reality, rules the day with the thousands or millions of speculators placing short term bets with assets like silver. These perceptions are particularly strong given that paper players in the silver market often control the price in the short term (6-8 months), since there is so much more paper silver than physical metal out there.

Silver has been on fire over the last three years — substantially outperforming its spotlight-grabbing cousin, gold. Because we believe this bull run is far from over, we advise investors to always maintain exposure to the precious metals markets. Even if you haven’t yet participated in the run-up of both gold and silver, I’m glad you’re ready to take a look at the investment potential of silver.

China has turned from a net exporter of silver to a big net importer with both industrial and investment demand soaring. Middle Eastern demand also appears to be picking up strongly.
Silver is the volatile precious metal. For example, a few weeks before the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, it took 51 ounces of silver to buy one ounce of gold. At the height of the market turmoil one month later, it took 84 ounces of silver to buy that same ounce. What makes silver so volatile?

Inflation is in the Pipeline
Interest Rates Must go up with Inflation
Mid East chaos will affect the oil price
Austerity measures could take hold but slowly in EU, the U.K. and maybe the U.S.
