"Gold and silver are clearly on the rise again. Both metals are approaching their May highs, but this really shouldn't come as a surprise. These markets have been strong for years and they've consistently outperformed nearly every other investment market.
As the record shows, gold has risen 21% on average each year in four out of the past five years. Silver has done even better. It's risen an average of 37% each year in three out of the past four years. And if we put them together, gold and silver have gained 41% on average each year over the past five years. There are few if any investments that can top that, year after year.
While gold's gains have been pretty consistent at around 20% per year, silver is gaining momentum. This year, for instance, silver is up 55% but last year it was "only" up 34% Remember, the gold to silver ratio is still very high at 45 and over the centuries it's historically been near 16. This ratio was way out of whack and at extremely high levels in the 1990s, but it's been coming down in recent years and as it continues to normalize we believe silver will continue to outperform gold."
"The World has changed. If you had to pin point one reason that is the driving force behind the bull markets in gold, silver, the other metals and commodities, this is the answer in a nutshell. And the ongoing changes in the world will continue to push this sector higher in the years, and probably decade ahead."
"The world began to change in the 1980s but it has become more evident since 2000. The emerging economies have grown faster than the G7 countries since the 1980s, which means the G7 portion of global GDP is declining.
We've mentioned in prior issues that a world power shift is underway. It's subtle, it's gradual but it's happening and as each year passes, it's becoming more obvious. This has happened throughout history but today's shift could end up becoming as important as the Industrial Revolution.
What's basically happening is a shifting balance of power and wealth to new areas of the world, as it gradually diminishes in the industrialized countries.
