New Junior Silver Miners/Explorers ETF Hanging Tough – Check It Out

One of the downsides of introducing an ETF in an out-of-favor sector is that it won’t have much initial trading volume [an average of 600/day over the past month on the 9 days it did trade] and, as such, SILJ is not an ETF to…buy “at the market,” since “the market” might be 30% higher than the next trade. Instead, choose a reasonable price and put in a good-until-cancelled bid — and then watch it to make sure nothing crazy happens in the meantime.

[Since its launch on November 29th, 2012 at $20.36 SILJ (CUSIP#: 30304R308)has fared quite well in the face of a volatile silver market down just 1.5%. By comparison, Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PHS.U) is down 7.2% and iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV) is down 8.1%. Incidentally, in the gold dominated sector BMO Junior Gold Index ETF (ZJG) is down 12.8%, Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) is down 12.2% and  Global X Pure Gold Miners ETF (GGGG) is down 10.7%.]

Don’t expect results right away as trends have a habit of continuing, so the silver miners could easily have another crappy year. [That being said,]…at some point both silver and its derivatives (including mining shares) will start moving in the right direction….

5. Gold:Silver Ratio Suggests MUCH Higher Price of Silver in Next Few Years

The majority of analysts are now of the opinion that gold will reach a parabolic peak price somewhere in excess of $5,000 per troy ounce in the next few years. Given the fact that the historical movement of silver is 90 – 95% correlated with that of gold suggests that a much higher price for silver can also be anticipated. Couple that with the fact that silver is currently greatly undervalued relative to its average long-term historical relationship with gold, silver could escalate dramatically in price over the next few years. How much? This article takes a look at historical gold:silver ratios and what attaining certain relationships would mean for the price of silver should specific price levels for gold be realized.

6. Goldrunner: Silver to Rocket to $60 – $68 and Then Much Higher

Personally, based on the fundamentals at hand and the fact that Gold doubled its log channel around this point in the cycle; I expect Silver to bust up out of its log channel in 2013.  Initially, I look for Silver to reach the $60 to $68 level, first and hold open the possibility for Silver to do much more on the upside as the 70’s Silver Chart reflects.
