Debt

A world in financial chaos

For years we've had one financial crisis after another sweeping through the global economy. Central banks seem to have lost control, keeping their zero interest-rate policies intact in a world awashed in so much debt it can never be paid off. Eroding currencies and unprecedented global financial instability are just two of the by-products. It's hard to find a safe haven in today's world with traditional investments offering extremely low yields while inflated stock markets keep hitting all-time highs.

So how do keep your hard earned money safe in a time of so much uncertainty? The answer's quite simple really: two precious metals that have stood the test of time with a 5000 year history.

Gold - the ultimate safe haven

It's not just the solid track record of its usage as money and keeping its value over millenia that makes gold such an amazing insurance against financial calamity. To this day, central banks hold a lot of gold on their balance sheets and as of a few years ago they have even become net buyers of gold for the first time in over 30 years.

Two other important factors supporting the outlook for gold are increasing jewelry and investment demand. The two most populus countries in the world - China and India - have a middle class growing at an astonishing pace and they all have an ingrained cultural love for gold. More people than ever in history can now afford to put their savings into this beautiful metal. And this may only be the beginning of a new gold era driven by Eastern demand...

Silver coins

Silver - the indispensable metal

Silver is called gold's "little brother" for good reason. Just like gold, silver has been used as money in every part of the world at one time or another. In French, Spanish and multiple other languages the word for silver and money are identical. That should tell you something about the historical importance of silver as a monetary metal. Also as gold has gotten more expensive over the past decade or so, some have turned to silver as a cheaper substitute.

The white metal has another aspect to it that makes it quite interesting from an investment perspective, even for the investor who is looking at the world through a positive lense. It is the best known conductor of electricity and therefore used in most new high-tech appliances, be it smartphones, TVs, solar panels or computers. This makes silver one of the most important industrial metals, and as technology evolves at a rapid rate the demand will just continue to grow.

Silver miners

Despite the stock market seeming overvalued in general, there is one sector that is unusually cheap at the moment. The stocks of miners exploring for and ultimately producing gold and silver are on average more than 70% off their highs, while also being very undervalued compared to the price of the precious metals themselves.

The whole sector has been performing very poorly since gold and silver started their downhill rides in 2011. Higher production costs have also crippled the industry, but the recent collapse in oil prices should reverse that trend and make way for lower cash costs going forward. These stocks tend to do extremely well and severely outperform silver itself during bull markets, and with both precious metals looking ready to once again march higher we might see the perfect opportunity for investors to pick up cheap stocks before they explode higher.

There are a lot of miners to choose from, so which ones will shoot higher and which ones should you stay away from?
