Will Silver Steal the Spotlight?
by Mike Maharrey, Silver Seek:
Gold has garnered a lot of attention in the last few weeks with its record-setting run. Since the end of February, gold is up nearly 7 percent and set an all-time record of $2,195 an ounce along the way.
This is really good news for silver.
That wasn’t a typo. I meant silver.
I’ve been arguing that silver is drastically underpriced given the supply and demand dynamics for quite a while. With gold setting up for an extended rally, silver could be poised for a record-setting launch of its own, and it just might steal gold’s spotlight.
Silver Poised to Play Catch Up to Gold
by Clint Siegner, Silver Seek:
Gold’s breakout to new all-time nominal highs is making headlines. On Friday, the price settled at just under $2,200/oz, after gaining almost $100/oz for the week.
Silver actually outperformed gold on a percentage basis. The white metal gained $1.17/oz, or 5%, as compared to gold’s 4.5% gain.
The difference is that silver is stuck in the middle of the range where it has traded for the past four years. It is roughly $5/oz below its 2020 high and $25 below its all-time high.

Guest Post: “Costco Selling Gold and Silver”, by AGXIIK and Renozep
by Turd Ferguson, TF Metals Report:
Costco is selling gold and silver on line. Are they anticipating future consumer trends? Or are they getting Sound and Real money into their customer’s hands due to issues with the dollar and CBDCs?
Which one is it?
Something totally new? A marketing test run? A means to bring in new customers? Satisfying a survey that said some people want to buy precious metals? Or is it something else?

LOUISIANA’S BULLION BILL AND SOME NECESSARY CLARIFICATIONS
by Joseph P. Farrell, Giza Death Star:
After last week’s blog about the South Dakota bullion and unit-of-account bill, I received an email from Catherine Austin Fitts that the movement to state bullion depositories might be the latest gimik and squeeze play from the banksters. We’ll get to why that possibility should never be ignored in a moment, because the Louisiana bill, as written, contains some telltale signs that her misgivings are well-founded. But I also want to use this opportunity to clarify my thinking for the record, and to remind readers here that if you read my individual blogs and do not contextualize them within the wider body of my thinking about financial and physical systems, that you will be bound to misinterpret and forget what I’ve stated on previous occasions. Absent any repudiation by me, those earlier statements still form part of my thinking.
Two Types of Price Rally
by Craig Hemke, Sprott Money:
COMEX gold and COMEX silver have both seen terrific price rallies over the past two weeks. However, not all rallies are the same, so let’s take time today to dissect both types.
Over the past seven trading days, precious metal prices have soared, led by COMEX gold. What set off these rallies? Primarily, two things:
- Fed Governor Christopher Waller gave a speech on Friday, March 1, where he outlined his thoughts on the future of monetary policy and quantitative easing.

Gold’s Got the Midas Touch Back
by Jim Rickards, Daily Reckoning:
After two years of trading in a 20% range between $1,600 and $2,000 per ounce, gold finally broke out to the upside, closing at a new all-time high of $2,126 per ounce on March 4.
Better yet, if you’re a gold investor, gold has held its ground around $2,100 per ounce since breaking that ceiling (gold’s trading at around $2,187 today).
Gold Hits NEW All-Time High – And “Experts” Aren’t Sure Why

How Close Should Your Wealth Be?
by Jeff Thomas, International Man:
Recently, an eminent gold advisor, whom I know and have a high regard for, stated that holders of precious metals would be well served by keeping their metals in a remote location, saying, “Distance equals security.” (He lives in the US and recommends storage in New Zealand, as it’s as far away from him as possible.)
Another prominent metals advisor, whom I also know well and respect, contacted me after the release of this statement to say that he doesn’t necessarily agree with the idea, even though he himself stores gold in a country outside his own.
Yet More Silver Departs $SLV on Friday
by Ted Butler, Silver Seek:
Gold’s quiet rally that began at the start of Globex trading in New York on Thursday evening was turned lower around 8:40 a.m. China Standard Time on their Friday morning — and its low tick was set at exactly 11 a.m. CST. It then wandered quietly higher until at or minutes before the 10:30 a.m. morning gold fix in London — and was sold a tiny bit lower from there until the jobs number hit the tape. The gold price went ‘no ask’ — and ‘da boyz’ appeared in seconds — and had the price back to its pre-8:30 a.m. price by 9:15 a.m. It crawled quietly higher from there until it took off anew starting a few minutes before 12 o’clock noon — and the commercial traders of whatever stripe reappeared — engineering it brutally lower until around 2:15 p.m. in after-hours trading in New York. Its ensuing rally ran into ‘something’ about fifteen minutes later– and from that juncture it crept very quietly higher until the market closed at 5:00 p.m. EST.
