Silver’s Role in the New Energy Era Part 3 of 3

More Than Precious: Silver’s Role in the New Energy Era

January 15, 2021 By Nicholas LePan

Silver is one of the first metals that humans discovered and used. Its extensive use throughout history has linked its name to its monetary value. However, as we have advanced technologically, so have our uses for silver. In the future, silver will see a surge in demand from solar and electric vehicle (EV) technologies.

Part 1 and Part 2 of the Silver Series showcased its monetary legacy as a safe haven asset as a precious metal and why now is its time to shine.

Part 3 of the Silver Series comes to us from Endeavour Silver, and it outlines silver’s role in the new energy era and how it is more than just a precious metal.

A Sterling Reputation: Silver’s History in Technologies

Silver along with gold, copper, lead and iron, was one of the first metals known to humankind. Archaeologists have uncovered silver coins and objects dating from before 4,000 BC in Greece and Turkey. Since then, governments and jewelers embraced its properties to mint currency and craft jewelry.

This historical association between silver and money is recorded across multiple languages. The word silver itself comes from the Anglo-Saxon language, seolfor, which itself comes from ancient Germanic silabar.

Silver’s chemical symbol, “Ag”, is an abbreviation of the Latin word for silver, argentum. The Latin word originates from argunas, a Sanskrit word which means shining. The French use argent as the word for money and silver. Romans bankers and silver traders carried the name argentarius.

While silver’s monetary meanings still stand today, there have been hints of its use beyond money throughout history. For centuries, many cultures used silver containers and wares to store wine, water, and food to prevent spoilage.

During bouts of bubonic plague in Europe, children of wealthy families sucked on silver spoons to preserve their health, which gave birth to the phrase “born with a silver spoon in your mouth.”

Medieval doctors invented silver nitrate used to treat ulcers and burns, a practice that continues to this day. In the 1900s, silver found further application in healthcare. Doctors used to administer eye drops containing silver to newborns in the United States. During World War I, combat medics, doctors, and nurses would apply silver sutures to cover deep wounds.

Silver’s shimmer also made an important material in photography up until the 1970s. Silver’s reflectivity of light made it popular in mirror and building windows.

Now, a new era is rediscovering silver’s properties for the next generation of technology, making the metal more than precious.

Silver in the New Energy Era: Solar and EVs

Silver’s shimmering qualities foreshadowed its use in renewable technologies. Among all metals, silver has the highest electrical conductivity, making it an ideal metal for use in solar cells and the electronic components of electric vehicles.

Silver in Solar Photovoltaics

Conductive layers of silver paste within the cells of a solar photovoltaic (PV) cell help to conduct the electricity within the cell. When light strikes a PV, the conductors absorb the energy and electrons are set free.

Silver’s conductivity carries and stores the free electrons efficiently, maximizing the energy output of a solar cell. According to one study from the University of Kent, a typical solar panel can contain as much as 20 grams of silver.

As the world adopts solar photovoltaics, silver could see dramatic demand coming from this form of renewable energy.

Silver in Electric Vehicles

Silver’s conductivity and corrosion resistance makes its use in electronics critical, and electric vehicles are no exception. Virtually every electrical connection in a vehicle uses silver.

Silver is a critical material in the automotive sector, which uses over 55 million ounces of the metal annually. Auto manufacturers apply silver to the electrical contacts in powered seats and windows and other automotive electronics to improve conductivity.

A Silver Intensive Future

A green future will require metals and will redefine the role for many of them. Silver is no exception. Long known as a precious metal, silver also has industrial applications metal for an eco-friendly future.

Perfect Storm for Silver Part 2 of 3

Silver Series: Perfect Storm for Silver Part 2 of 3

The Silver Series: A Perfect Storm for Silver (Part 2 of 3)

In Part 1 of the Silver Series we showed how precious metals can be a safe haven during times of volatility in a debt-laden era.

Today’s infographic is Part Two of the Silver Series, and it comes to us from Endeavour Silver, outlining some of the key supply and demand indicators that precede a coming gold-silver cycle in which the price of silver could move upwards.

Silver Fundamentals

Silver is produced primarily as a by-product in the mining of non-precious metals, and there is currently a dwindling supply of silver as a result of low base metal prices.

However, silver is more than just a precious metal and a safe haven investment. Its industrial uses also create a significant demand on silver stocks.

As the production of green technologies such as solar cells and EVs quickly escalates, upward pressure is being placed on the price of silver, indicating the potential start of a new gold-silver cycle in the market.

Investment Demand

Just like gold, silver has functioned as a form of money for centuries, and its role as a store of value and hedge against monetary inflation endures.

Currency debasement is not new. Governments throughout history have “printed” money while silver’s value has held more constant over time.

In today’s age, the average investor does not own physical silver. Rather, they invest in financial instruments that track the performance of the physical commodity itself, such as silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Until recently, ETF investment in precious metals has been relatively flat, but there has been a surge in the price of silver. Meanwhile, demand for silver-backed financial products have increased the demand for physical silver and could continue to do so.

Industrial Demand

Silver is also helping to power the green revolution.

The precious metal is the best natural conductor of electricity and heat, and it plays an important role in the production of solar-powered energy. A silver paste is used in photovoltaic solar cells which collects electrons and creates electricity. Silver then helps conduct the electricity out of the cell. Without silver, solar cells would not be as efficient.

As investments and the green revolution demand more and more silver, where is the metal coming from?

A Perfect Storm for Silver: Supply Crunch

The bulk of silver production comes as a by-product of other metal mines, such as zinc, copper, or gold mines.

Since silver is not the primary metal emerging from some of these mines, it faces supply crunches when other metal prices are low.

Silver supply is falling for three reasons:

Declining mine production due to low base metal prices

Declining silver mine capacity

Declining reserves of silver

The demand for silver is rising and the few companies that produce silver could shine.

Don961:  Mazhar Saleh explains through the obelisk the opportunities available for printing the Iraqi currency and its consequences for the standard of living

 1/22/2021 6:04:42 PM  

Baghdad / Al-Masalla: The Financial Adviser to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, responded to the black-eyed expectations regarding the disastrous results of the option to print the Iraqi currency - according to the description of analysts and economists - by saying that such a scenario presents a very pessimistic economic prospect, and reminds the people of a stage Dangerous stages of the Iraqi economy during the international siege on Iraq during the dark period 1990-2003.

Saleh told Al-Masalla that public finances relied at the time on the cheap monetary policy and inflation financing at a rate of 95% of its revenues to finance expenditures at that time, that is, by using the mechanism of the monetary authority’s submission to the financial authority and its dominance in accepting government treasury transfers that the public finances consistently issue by the Central Bank. As he considers this government debt instrument as a financial asset matched by liabilities or liabilities, which is the currency issued to finance the absolute budget deficit (and convince the public that it is foreign money or (temporary) monetary wealth, but it is highly eroded in its purchasing power due to what it generates from inflation expectations that the citizen seeks every hour. ) ..

He added: That financial policy dominating the monetary issuance in the levers of its financing at that time led to the creation of a huge monetary mass that generated surplus demand or spending within the overall economy that was not matched by sufficient commodity supply, which reflects the case over the course of twelve years to create continuous inflationary expectations. Caused by the continued strength of demand, it is said.

And he went on: This financial policy, which was founded on the principle of government financing with an inflationary tool based on the super cash issuance, led to sharp and continuous rises in the general level of prices, and the inflation increased in it to become unruly and three decimal places, and the commodity that was equal to 20 dinars in 1990 became equal to 2000 dinars or more. During the 1990s, cash incomes declined and the standard of living declined.

Dr. Mazhar Muhammad Saleh believes that the aforementioned warning is nothing but a very dark scenario to remind the people of a dark period of time that the people lived and their livelihoods were uprooted during the siege of the 1990s and the few years after.

Dr. Saleh expects that the state of Iraq will not reach that, but in spite of that remains the policy of relying on monetary policy to finance the deficit by issuing cash (or monetizing debt) easy government financial leverage and is known (in the event of its continuation) in the knowledge of public finance as one of the constraints of the fragile budget ( The dangerous) because it neglects the inflation indicators and its potential projections as a result of financing the budget deficit by issuing cash without realizing the risks of its repercussions on the level of individuals ’cash income and its deterioration.

The economic advisor to the Prime Minister spoke to the obelisk earlier, about what the Iraqi public finances faced in the years 2020-2021, as the draft federal budget for the year 2021 indicates that the total deficit planned in it will rise to nearly 71 trillion dinars, and the aforementioned deficit will be no less than About 42% of total spending there, and a percentage of not less than 28% of the current GDP.

Saleh told Al-Masalla that the contractionary financial conditions in Iraq have led to dangerous economic manifestations, as the contraction of demand or government spending in the year 2020 has led to a widening of the national income gap, and a drop in growth by about 11% from its rates.

He added that the contraction was accompanied by an increase in unemployment levels that were not less than 25% of the Iraqi workforce, as well as an increase in poverty rates among the population that exceeded 30% of the country's families.    LINK

The Start of A New Gold-Silver Cycle Part 1 of 3

The Start of A New Gold-Silver Cycle Part 1 of 3

The Silver Series: The Start of A New Gold-Silver Cycle Part 1 of 3

September 11, 2019 By Nicholas LePan

The world has experienced a decade of growth fueled by record-low interest rates, a burgeoning money supply, and historic debt levels – but the good times only last so long.  As the global economy slows and eventually begins to retract, can precious metals offer a useful store of value to investors?

Part 1: The Start of a New Cycle

Today’s infographic comes to us from Endeavour Silver, and it outlines some key indicators that precede a coming gold-silver cycle in which exposure to hard assets may help to protect wealth.

Bankers Blowing Bubbles

Since 2008, central bankers around the world launched a historic market intervention by printing money and bailing out major banks. With cheap and abundant money, this strategy worked so well that it created a bull market in every sector — except for precious metals.

Stock markets, consumer lending, and property values surged. Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s assets ballooned, and so did corporate, government, and household debt. By 2018, total debt reached almost $250 trillion worldwide.

Currency vs. Precious Metals

The world awash in unprecedented amounts of currency, and these dollars chase a limited supply of goods. Historically speaking, it’s only a matter of time before the price of goods increases or inflates – eroding the purchasing power of every dollar.

Gold and silver are some of the only assets unaffected by inflation, retaining their value.

Gold and silver are money… everything else is credit.  – J.P. Morgan

The Perfect Story for a Gold-Silver Cycle?

Investors can use several indicators to gauge the beginning of the gold-silver cycle:

Gold/Silver Futures

Most traders do not trade physical gold and silver, but paper contracts with the promise to buy at a future price. Every week, U.S. commodity exchanges publish the Commitment of Traders “COT” report. This report summarizes the positions (long/short) of traders for a particular commodity.

Typically, speculators are long and commercial traders are short the price of gold and silver. However, when speculators and commercial traders positions reach near zero, there is usually a big upswing in the price of silver.

Gold-to-Silver Ratio Compression

As the difference between gold and silver prices decreases (i.e. the compression of the ratio), history suggests silver prices can make big moves upwards in price. The gold-to-silver ratio compression is now at high levels and may eventually revert to its long-term average, which implies a strong movement in prices is imminent for silver.

Scarcity: Declining Silver Production

Silver production has been declining despite its growing importance as a safe haven hedge, as well as its use in industrial applications and renewable technologies.

The Silver Exception

Silver is not just for coins, bars, jewelry and the family silverware. It stands out from gold with its practical industrial uses which account for 56.1% of its annual consumption. Silver will continue to be a critical material in solar technology. While photovoltaics currently account for 8% of annual silver consumption, this is set to change with the dramatic increase in the use of solar technologies.

The Price of Gold and Silver

Forecasting the exact price of gold and silver is not a science, but there are clear signs that point to the direction their prices will head. The prices of gold and silver do not accurately reflect a world awash with cheap and easy money, but now may be their time to shine.

Country sits on billions worth of gold deposits

HIGHLIGHTS

Does the Philippines actually sit on "mountains of gold"?

All the gold in the world is worth about $8 trillion

Local communities must deal with mine tailings laden with cyanide, a highly toxic chemical, and a key ingredient in extracting gold and silver

The country reportedly holds the world’s second-largest gold deposits

Income from mining is finite; consumed by the present generation

Dubai: Gold is one of the rarest and priciest metals. The Philippines, it's been said, sits on "mountains of gold". This epithet needs a closer look.

Figures from the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB), a government agency, show that the country produced  (MT) of 20.765 metric tonnes (MT) of gold in 2018, valued at $866.72 million (Php44.8 billion, Dh3.14 billion).

It was slightly down from the previous year (2017), when the Asian country produced 22.749 MT of gold, valued at Php46.79 billion ($894.64 million, Dh3.2 billion), MGB data show.

The yellow metal is a hugely important part of the global economy, with total output from the world's gold mines at 3,150 MT in 2017, valued at $146.58 billion.

20.765 metric tonnes of gold produced by the Philippines in 2018

About half of the world's gold production ends up as jewellery, some 10% for industrial use, while one-third goes into bars and coins held by monetary authorities and central banks around the world.

Gold is traded daily, bought and sold by individuals, funds and banks. Price is dictated by supply and demand. Currently, all the gold in the world is worth about $8 trillion.

The New Economic System Is Already All Around You, Unemployment Surges Into NYC's Lost Decade

Silver Report Uncut:  Jan 17, 2021

There will be some major changes soon to just about everything yet I anticipate the economy may encounter some turbulence should the United States continue to have disruptions to regular business.

There's also the fact that behind the scenes there are significant structural changes to our economic system underway and it's likely there won't be a recovery at this moment as unemployment has been on the rise in several state economies that are critical to the overall US GDP. NYC's economy has been crush and its unemployment rate is far behind the national average.

The interesting part about NYC is the huge dependence on tourism and there are many restaurants that couldn't endure this recession even with the drop in tourism and foot traffic regardless of any policies.

Taxes will become a major part of the conversation soon as states continue to struggle to manage their budgets and the keyword would be dependence.

The system is already being set up and it seems inevitable that our economic system is already conforming to the global changes and it seems they will begin to buy the way forward with periodic stimulus checks every month, just like an allowance or universal basic income.

1. I own quite a few properties, no mortgages, no debt. These are not rental properties. We are living off the dividends from mutual funds, money markets, annuities. We are concerned about the state of the economy, the purchasing power of the dollar. The Stock Market doesn't make sense. What would you recommend?

2. Would someone with little income have enough chance to save their future or set themselves up to struggle less? Thank you for your time.

3. Is what’s happening in the Capitol a great distraction for the great reset?

4. I noted you made mention of a universal payment for the people after the rest. That means a fixed about, correct? Have you explained what that truly means on your YouTube? Thank you for extending your knowledge.

5. What a cyber attack (grid down) means to digital dollar?

With millions of people out of work, multiple months of rioting in the streets, and 4 people dead after a Whitehouse riot yesterday...you may be asking yourself how Main Street can be doing so poorly, while Wall Street continues to look "successful".

And aside from that illusion of success being trillions of fake dollars simply printed into existence with no inherent value, the real picture is now revealing itself with historic and repeatable patterns you need to be aware of immediately.

 In this video I will show you those patters, along with the continued clues of the Global Reset Transition, so you can properly protect yourself and your assets while there's still time.

Fleming, Currency365, Craig Hemke and more Sunday 1-17-2021

Sunday Fleming RV Update

Our military intel contact is confirming Mr. Fleming's sources and other sources that POTUS & RV security teams in the Fri evening 15 Jan RV team meeting, after reviewing 2 days of successful tests, decided again at about 11:15pm EST to continue pushing forward with the RV shotgun start roll out to get it fully out and started in the next 3-4 days;

He confirmed that POTUS met with the UST and that POTUS, DoD, and the RV teams have current short term plans to get the RV liquidity out and released over the next 72-96 hours, to get the money out and our T4B exchanges started, before or by the Wed 20 Jan inauguration date;

He confirmed that POTUS and the DoD white hats are MAKING SURE that the moneys are released & exchanges started, so that the main (upper) levels globally are made liquid starting Sun 17 Jan;

He confirmed that the exchange centers went through special training Fri 15 Jan on the latest updates and protocols to get ready for T4B exchanges this coming week.

He is confirming that if all the WF & HSBC test releases go well over this weekend, involving them checking email addresses, pinging WF email databases now to make sure that they are still active, then they will lock down rates overnight Sun-Mon 17-18 Jan for the liquidity shotgun start and T4B start before or by the Wed 20 Jan inauguration date.

He is confirming that POTUS did finalize agreements with the security teams, because there are security hotspots in about 400 cities across the country, but DoD security teams are confident that Special Force (SOF) teams and regular military troops can contain the threats;

POTUS said that he and his teams ARE NOW ON TOP OF the tenacity of the Deep State opposition to the RV release and the NESARA / GESARA introduction of the restored Republic and the constitutional freedoms and financial freedoms Post-RV that POTUS has been working hard to ensure for We-The-People in this country and for those in all 209 countries; as Dr. Charlie Ward said in the past, it has been ONE HELL OF FIGHT but POTUS and the white hats have WON THE FIGHT AGAINST THE DEEP STATE for us and for the RV / GCR / NESARA / GESARA!

Our guy is confirming that POTUS created a finalized master plan on Fri 15 Jan to get the RV / GCR out NOW and a long-term plan to get out the full implementation of NESARA / GESARA under the restored Republic in a way that the Deep State could never undo again, if they ever gain power again in coming decades or centuries.

He is confirming that part of that plan of POTUS and the white hats is to GET THE RV / GCR MONEY MOVED NOW, because POTUS and the RV teams NEED THE MONEY TO MOVE NOW in order to ACTUALIZE SOME OF THOSE PLANS; so they are working on FINAL TESTS RIGHT NOW this weekend PRIOR TO THE START; confirming the top Chinese Elders were also very busy Fri 15 Jan getting some last minute tasks fulfilled that they needed to fulfill for the start;

Confirming that all of the major teams are going through their final processing and settlement for closings and liquidity between now and Mon 18 Jan; the security codes, authorization codes, and the release codes are being checked now along with the audits and the reviews and the other procedures for verification and validation of who should get what in T1-4A/4B, in what way, and in what sequence; he confirmed that if all goes well this weekend as expected then a value day will be declared Mon or Tue 18-19 Jan to start liquidity release and to start us in T4B just before or on the inauguration date;

The GOOD NEWS here, our guy said, is that POTUS and the decision makers have finally determined that (1) the Deep State is defeated enough to release the RV moneys and to start the RV exchanges and (2) POTUS & the white hats need the RV moneys to move NOW to fulfill their NESARA / GESARA roll out plans going forward.

The other GOOD NEWS here, our guy said, is that THEY ARE FIRM on GETTING THE RV / GCR MONEY MOVING OUT FULLY NOW; this is the plan unless something unexpected gets in the way, and they are not expecting anything to get in the way, not even the political drama surrounding the inauguration, BECAUSE THESE MONEYS ARE NEEDED NOW; the USA and the countries of the world NEED THIS MONEY ASAP; it does not matter what political drama works itself out in the USA, all involved realize that the RV / GCR MONEYS MUST BE PUSHED OUT NOW;

He confirmed that POTUS is working on putting out NESARA / GESARA implementation in a way that the Deep State cannot undo easily in the long term, long after Trump is no longer president after his second term 2021-24; in other words, POTUS is organizing things in such a way that our constitutional freedoms and financial freedoms are protected from Deep State calculated removal of those freedoms long after his second term.(edited)

Our guy confirmed that the USA is still under low profile limited martial law now (we have been under a form of martial law legally since 9/11/2001 under the Patriot Act he said), military deployed across the country, and many Deep State CCP compromised politicians and bureaucrats are already being arrested now;

he confirmed that Mon-Tue 18-19 Jan could see significant actions by POTUS and military units against Deep State players

Our guy is confirming that by Tue 19 Jan, POTUS will reveal what he will do with the govt transition to the restored Republic, with the inauguration date, and with the RV release that will be underway by next Wed 20 Jan; he is confirming that the RV security teams have identified, planned for, and said they can contain threats in the hot spots in DC, in 50 state capitols, and in 400 urban potential hot spots across the nation so that T4B exchanges can be started securely.

Liquidity is expected to be released Tue 19 Jan and T4B should be starting about the same time.

He advised that as soon as you get out of your initial redemption / exchange appointment, that you ask your assigned WM and trust company team to work with you to put the money in your accounts under asset-protection irrevocable trusts and ALSO (very important) INTO ASSET PROTECTION INVESTMENT VEHICLES such as hard assets, real estate, gold, silver, including gold and silver coins, rare artwork, and other non-paper investment vehicles, etc, etc, so that the NDA CLAW BACK provisions, that MAY be a part of the NDAs we will be signing, WOULD NOT MAKE IT EASY FOR ANY GOVERNMENT (federal, state, or local government) taxing authority, law enforcement authority, or judicial authority to tax, seize, or confiscate your funds on false charges or through any other means to take the money from you and your accounts;

As always, he said use your discernment and pray over all as we all keep stepping forward toward and over the finish line.

Craig Hemke – By Year End Gold $2,300 & Silver $45

Greg Hunter:  Jan 12, 2021

Financial writer, market analyst and precious metals expert Craig Hemke says, “As inflation picks up from all this money printing, the Fed can’t allow the 10 Year Treasury to go to 3% . . . the Fed will, at some point, institute yield curve control.”

Hemke says yield curve control by the Fed will cap interest rates, but the money printing and inflation will have to rise dramatically. This is why Hemke is predicting, “By the end of 2021, gold will be $2,300 per ounce and silver will be around $45 per ounce.”

 In short, printing money to cap interest rates will result in much higher prices for gold and silver, and Hemke predicts this is the trend into the future.

Hemke also warns, “The gold and silver bull market will be a bucking bronco, and it will try to throw investors off.” In other words, investors will have to hang on tight and expect volatility to be high–especially in silver.

Hemke also says there is “permanent damage from Covid 19 . . . and the economy will not be bouncing back in any sort of “V” shaped recovery.”
