Embrace Silver's Volatility All the Way to the Bank

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Most precious-metals investors know that silver is more volatile than gold. But do they know just how big that difference really is?

We thought it would be interesting to measure how much greater silver's daily moves are – both in gains and declines – than gold.

We documented the daily price movements for both metals, and then calculated the difference using absolute values. To interpret the charts below, you need to know that: Continue reading "Embrace Silver's Volatility All the Way to the Bank" →

Forget Apple, This Rival Is a Much Better Bargain

Posted on by admin

When assessing any stock, you need to weigh the risk against reward. Yet for Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) shareholders, it's a challenging task. To be sure, it's really hard to see how much risk there is when Apple's net cash balance stands at $137 billion -- and is on its way to $200 billion in a few years. Management has started dropping hints that shareholder-friendly moves are coming, which usually means stock buybacks or big dividend boosts.

Still, even as Apple carries relatively minor risk, it's not clear what kind of upside investors should expect either.

And despite the fact that it has been a long time since a G20 Summit has caused any waves, traders were holding their breath and waiting on news that might have a significant impact on Currencies. The market sprinkled in a few reports in the US and in Europe, but nothing really stuck for a directional move. Continue reading "Gold Chart of The Week" →

David Baker's Three Must-Haves for the New Generation of Gold Companies: Accountability, Accountability and Accountability

Posted on by admin

The Gold Report: The major gold producers have ceded market share to gold exchange-traded funds and royalty companies and are vastly underperforming those investment vehicles. If you were running a major gold producer, how would you go about restoring the appeal of your company's shares?

David Baker: Mining companies need to restore trust and give more clarity. They are confusing investors because on the one hand they tell us they have so many ounces of gold in reserves and are producing so many ounces of gold, and then they confuse us by benchmarking all this to dollarsa depreciating asset. We believe the mining companies should be consistent and report in gold; this would then give investors a clearer picture on how much gold it is costing to mine the resource and how many ounces of gold are added to the shareholder vault.
