By Bob Stokes

The run-ups in silver and gold since 2008 have many precious metals bulls believing that the pullback in recent months is just temporary. What do we see ahead for these two precious metals? I can say that the charts suggest...

A Way to Confidently Trade Metals? Keep Talking
EWI’s Metals Specialty Service presents a 30-minute "how-to" video on using the triangle Elliott wave pattern to anticipate major turns.

Countless people trade in precious and industrial metals markets. But very few of those people trade gold, silver, aluminum and copper with confidence. As a sector prone to double-digit intraday drops and advances retraced entirely only hours later, the fact is this: those who invest in metal markets are often about as relaxed as a bomb diffuser -- never knowing if cutting the green wire will lead to... Kablamo!

Silver: "It Doesn’t Get Any More Important Than This"

“Tank.” “Suffer.” “Battered to a pulp.” -- these are just a few of the colorful media phrases used to describe the recent performance of silver. As of April 23, silver prices were clinging to the rafters of a three-month low. Here’s another word: “Surprise.” Fact is, for many mainstream experts, silver’s downtrend was not in the "fundamental" cards.

February 29, 2012 was a calendar Leap Day. But for the world's biggest precious metal markets, it was Take-A-Flying-Leap-Off-the-Edge-Of-A-Cliff-Day. Gold prices ended the session $77 per ounce lower in their steepest single-day drop in six months. AND silver joined the rout with a near 7% nose-dive.

September 2011 was like a Wile E. Coyote cartoon for gold and silver. Both metals spent the first part of the month bouncing gradually down a hill. But in the last week, they stepped right over a cliff edge, hung in mid-air for a split second, and then "poof!" a straight freefall to the ground below. Splat!

Stocks Rebound After the August Crash. Are We Out of the Woods?
Prechter's detailed look at the market's pattern, momentum, sentiment and other important technical evidence helps you navigate stocks from here.

Reality check: Few investors realize that in just 2 weeks in August, the stock market erased all the gains of 2010 and 2011.

But after those 2 rough weeks in August, stocks rallied for more than 6 weeks -- a rally three times longer than the decline. Does it mean that stocks are out of the woods?

Gold has skyrocketed to all-time highs -- while silver has been heading lower. With these two precious metals usually "joined at the hip," it begs the question: Is one leading the way for the other to follow? And if so, which one is leading?

Was Silver's Early May Crash Really a Result of "Market Manipulation"?
EWI's analysts reveal the true cause of silver's 30% slide: a completed Elliott wave pattern

By Nico Isaac
6/22/2011 1:00:00 PM

More than a month has passed since silver prices endured a 30% crash from their April 26 peak to their early May low. Yet, the mainstream financial "investigation" as to what caused the metal's abrupt drop is no closer to being closed. According to the latest theory, silver's rout was the result of some UFO-like conspiracy; as in, Unintended Falling Object.
