Silver Prices in the Near and Long Term

In spite of the economic uncertainties, silver has continued to hold strong so far this year, and going forward silver prices should do really well. And even though gold has been somewhat slow this year, we'll begin to see that start to increase in the latter part of the year, but even so, silver should continue to outperform it.

None of the underlying fundamentals have changed, and so even though a period of forced liquidation caused funds and companies to divest of their commodity holdings, which put downward pressure on the prices, silver has continued to keep its value.

It's interesting to see the different directions gold and silver prices have taken recently, and silver should continue to do better than gold, at least as far as percentages go.

Current silver prices have been better than gold, and silver futures have obviously moved upwards.

More than ever we need to look at the silver market objectively, and forget about the pervasive fear that keeps us from seeing things as they really are.

Silver prices are where they should be, and there's nothing about the fear of the market that has changed that, so that is good news for the next several years, which should see current silver prices even go significantly higher.

Anyone investing in commodities should seriously consider silver as a part of their portfolio. More than likely it'll be one of the better performers as demand surges when the global recession turns around.

Silver prices will move up with that increased demand, along with a number of other commodities.
