In case you missed the earlier announcements, we want to make you aware of an exciting new opportunity for our clients. For nearly fifteen years, our quest has been to disrupt how precious metals are made available in the market. We believe everyone, regardless of how much metal they are able to purchase, should be able to easily buy it at the lowest possible cost. With the new OWNx EDGE membership, you can now purchase all your stored metal at wholesale cost. That means…
- 0% premiums!
- You get your metal at nearly the same price as those who buy millions of dollars of metal.
Whether it is innovation in Precious Metal’s IRAs or buying metal at cost, we continue to level the playing field for our clients.
Now… On to the markets. It is an understatement to say a great deal has happened over the last couple of months in the gold markets. Rarely has it moved like it has within the last few weeks. With the peace/war drums beating in Europe and unpredictable outcomes from tariffs and a global trade realignment, your geopolitical and financial insurance – gold – is doing its job.
We do not expect this uncertainty to resolve itself soon. Thus, now we will enter a period of high volatility. The charts demonstrate that reality. Now, more than ever, you need an Edge in how you manage your holdings. That’s why we continue to innovate.
As always, we are here for you…

Gold and Silver
What Do the Charts Say?
After breaking out of a year long consolidation pattern around the $2,000 price level, gold created a nice sustainable uptrend channel (lower green line). As global geopolitical instability increased early this year, a new uptrend line was formed. However, with the Trump administration’s trade policies and tariffs, a third trend line has emerged. This line is unsustainable over any significant period of time, and frankly, we don’t want to live in a world where the price of gold continues to rise that quickly.
Depending on what happens on the trade war and Ukraine/Russia war over the next few months, we could see the line hold for a ride to prices well over $4,000 per ounce as we move into this summer. Or, we could see another consolidation phase in the $3,000 per ounce level. What is likely is that the bars on the chart that indicate the trading range for each week will continue to be tall – in other words, price volatility will continue.
Now, let’s take a look at silver. Last newsletter we skipped it because its price action was rather uninspiring. Over the past few months, that really hasn’t changed much. For those holding silver, it has been frustrating to watch it move modestly against gold’s dramatic rise. From our point of view, silver has entered a period of confusion. “Should I act like I’m an industrial metal in an era of economic uncertainty (price falls), or should I act like an instability insurance and monetary metal (price rises)?” Thus, what we have is silver trading in a channel. The good news is, the channel is above that pesky multi-year resistance around the $29 to $30 level. When it convincingly breaches the $35 mark, there is little to stop it from pushing above the $40/ounce mark rather quickly. We do believe that will happen, but of course it’s difficult to tell when. As we’ve said before, silver has always had a mind of its own. So we wait and accumulate.
