Silver Linings Playbook

The premise behind the movie (and book) Silver Linings Playbook is certainly a noble one, but not as profound as that of silver itself, which will have quite a playbook of its own in the not too distant future. In the story, the heroes, Pat and Tiffany, overcome adversity by maintaining a positive attitude in attempting to see a ‘silver lining’ in their uncertain circumstances, ironically, much like silver investors today. And in the end the two lovers find themselves in a ‘happy ending’, which in the full measure of time, will undoubtedly be the fate for silver (and gold) bulls as well.

Why silver? Two reasons: First, it’s affordable for the public, still in the $20 area. As the price of gold continues higher with sovereigns and institutions finally panicking (once knocked out of their own denial), silver, the poor man’s gold, will become the ‘safe haven’ of choice for the common man. And second, people are greedy, especially today, which is largely why they remain in overvalued stocks, and is why increasing numbers will eventually switch to both gold (for those who can afford it) and silver as they see the money made.

Here’s the lesson: Make silver bullion is the silver lining of your portfolio.
