- The Silver Lining of Gold Fever
- Jeff Nielson submits: As strongly as I believe in the future for gold as a commodity, and also for those commodity-producers, I cannot avoid reaching the conclusion that the future is brighter still for gold's under-appreciated “little brother”.

- A Novice's Guide to Precious Metals (Part I)
- Jeff Nielson submits: For all the sophisticated “gold bugs” out there, there are not a lot of “revelations” in this commentary – so you might want to move along in search of something deeper. However, as retail investing in precious metals increases (it rose by nearly 400% in 2008), there...

- Jeff Nielson submits: Global statistics were recently released by the “precious metals research and consultancy” firm GFMS Limited, based in London.

- Will a 'Silver Bullet' Finally Kill the Metal Manipulators?
- Jeff Nielson submits: In my previous commentary, “Silver market fundamentals DISTORTED by bullion-ETFs", I pointed out how (so-called) “bullion-ETFs" were with rare exceptions merely a tool of the manipulators – with two primary purposes. First of all, bullion-ETFs soak-up billions of investor-dollars each year, which would otherwise...

- History of Silver, Part III: Inventories Are Gone
- Jeff Nielson submits: Read Part I and Part II For nearly 5,000 years, the price ratio between gold and silver has averaged approximately 15:1. This number is very close to the 17:1 ratio which represents the natural occurrence of the two elements in the Earth's crust. It is interesting to...

- Silver Is the Future of Jewelry

- Want to Own Silver? Forget About SLV
- Jeff Nielson submits: As a writer, it's always a disappointment when something which you see as being among the best or most important examples of your work receives less attention than other pieces.

- Silver Wheaton: The Safe Alternative to SLV
- Jeff Nielson submits: I recently received a request in my mail to spend more time talking about precious metals mining companies. I had just finished writing about the extremely dubious business models of most (so-called) “bullion-ETF's”, such as SLV (see “Your ETF-silver is For Sale”). So, it seemed a good...
