Silver: 4 Analysts See $100+ By End of 2015; $150+ By 2016

Lorimer Wilson / Munknee.com

Over the years only 14 pundits have been bold enough to provide a specific date as to when their forecast for the future price of silver would be realized. This article provides that information along with the criteria & rationale for their determinations.

The information below, compiled by Lorimer Wilson, editor of www.munKNEE.com(Your Key to Making Money!), consists of edited excerpts from a host of articles containing additional and updated forecasts by various pundits.

1. Jason Hommel: $500 – $5,000; Silver: To over $500/oz. by 2020…and to $5,000 by 2035.
2. Jeff Nielson: $1,000; I offer 4 key dynamics to make my case that the first digit of the (three-digit) price for silver will be closer to a “9” than a “1” – most likely by 2020, and we cannot discount the possibility of silver rising to the $1,000/0z level.
3. James Turk and John Rubino: $400;  The price of gold is about to soar to $10-12,000/ozt. – and silver to $500/ozt. [No specific date as to when is provided.] If the gold:silver ratio reverts to the norm of 20:1 as I think it will, silver will reach $400 by 2015.
4. GE Christenson: $100 – $250; I am making a projection based on rational analysis that indicates a likely time period for silver to trade at $100 per troy ounce by 2015. Past bubbles have had an ending price 4 – 8 times higher than the phase 2 beginning price and, if we assume that phase 1 for silver was a move from $4 to $50 and that represents 19% of the total move, the high for silver could be around $250 by 2017. The ratio of phase 2 ending price to beginning price would be 5:1 – reasonable.
5. Rob McEwen: $200; Silver is headed to $200 in the next 4 years [1.e. by 2016]
6. Ian Williams: $165; Silver prices are set to embark on “a sustained bull market” that will see prices rocket…to $165/oz by the end of October 2015.
7. Ron Rosen: $150; I expect the gold price to hit $4,300 in early 2016 and the silver price at over $148 sometime in early 2016. It’s as clear to me as the sun rising and setting.
8. Larry Edelson: $125+; Gold will  likely fetch well over $5,000 an ounce a few years from now [i.e. by 2017] and silver better than $125 a troy ounce.
9. George Maniere: $125; The prices of gold and silver based on the debasement of currencies are in my opinion very cheap. I will go on record right now and say that by 2015 gold will be $5,000 an ounce and silver will be $125 an ounce, and I have had some very smart people tell me that my projections are too low.
10. Jason Hamlin: $100; We are looking at a minimum price target of $3,600 for gold…[by] around thestart of 2017. Silver forecasts a minimum price target of $100 in the same time frame.
11. Peter Krauth: $95; By the time the next election rolls around in 2016 we could be looking at $3,700 gold and silver may be trading at $95. Frankly, I could see both of these levels easily surpassed.
12. Juan Eduardo Morales Veas: $90; Gold will drop to $900 in Jan/Feb. 2015 and then go parabolic to $3,500 in Nov./Dec., 2016 or in Jan./Feb. 2017. Silver will drop to $15 in Jan./Feb. 2015 and then rise to $90 approx., in Nov./Dec., 2016 or in Jan./Feb. 2017
13. Michael Berry: $75; I don’t do point estimates very well, but it’s possible you could see $3,000 gold in the next five years [i.e. 2015] . I think that’s very possible. I also believe it’s possible that you could also see $50 to $75 silver [by 2015].
14. Dr. Doolittle: $66 – $215; Based on Fed continuing to increase its Monetary Base and Money Supply by a CAGR yield of 16.5% gold will rise to $3,648 per ounce by 2018 (and silver to $66 per ounce based on a CAGR yield of 17.1% or possibly to $215 per ounce should the gold/silver ratio reach 17:1 as it was at its peak in January, 1980).

Conclusion

There you have it. Now you know the best guess of all the analysts who are on record as to how high – and how soon – silver is expected to go before the bubble bursts. Such information should prove invaluable in determining your investment approach, choices and time horizon.
