Silver- The Choice Metal

One of the strongest ETFs out there right now has been SLV (silver). This ETF has been moving higher since last November but has really accelerated to the upside over the past 4 weeks. Gold has also rallied nicely but silver has outperformed gold and is the choice metal in my opinion.

Part of the reason for silver's strength over gold is due to the long-term chart below. What we have here is a ratio chart of Silver vs. Gold over the past decade. As you can see, this ratio has held major support and is now moving higher. What this chart is telling us is that silver is undervalued compared to gold and that silver should now continue to gain over gold in the month's to come.

If we look at the chart above you will see that silver is now testing a resistance area which means this is NOT a good place to get long especially since silver is overbought. What I'm looking to do is buy a pullback to the 50 day moving average followed by some kind of buy trigger such a stochastic buy signal or a bullish candlestick formation etc.

Whether the metals continue to rally remains to be seen but if they do maintain their uptrends I think silver will be the metal to buy.
