Episode notes
Sharp Reversal After Silver's Breakneck Rally
- Silver's December rally reversed sharply with spot silver down ~9% after massive gains this month.
- The move may be profit-taking or retail-driven froth and could follow large historical pullbacks.
Momentum And Retail Could Become Self-Fulfilling
- The rally has pushed silver to third by global asset market cap, behind gold and Nvidia, driven partly by CTAs and retail.
- If detached from fundamentals, momentum and retail narratives could create self-fulfilling price targets like $100 silver.
Dollar-Cost Out Of Silver Advised
- James Ford recommends dollar-cost averaging out of silver rather than timing a top.
- He warns of an unfavorable risk-reward and expects a substantial pullback, potentially up to 50%.
