RE: Copper, the new gold!9 Jun 2021 12:29
Thats a very interesting article Gorillaman...I read most Kitco articles every day. As a former holder of ATYM I use the copper price graph on their ADVFN Board as the link through both live copper prices and Witco articles.
But here's a different spin...
While of course if there was speculative interest in SOLG, copper would be a major factor, I'm willing to bet that, RNSs aside, the gold price has a much tighter correlation with SOLGs SP than copper (whereas ATYM is of course highly correlated to the copper price).
So here's the thing...
The article makes a very good case for copper and that should put SOLG right in the headlights for market attention, but...
It makes just as good a case for gold...especially as copper had risen 143.5% from March 2020 to May 10 2021, while gold only rose 22% in the same period...
(More relevant perhaps) is that since March 2020, copper is now up 125% and gold 26%.
And that IMHO is one of the key reasons why SOLG has not performed as well as, especially ATYM, a pure copper play, up 256% in the same period...
But to turn it round the other way...and this could ultimately benefit SOLG, perversely...
The Chinese have been gold like there's no tomorrow...now own more than 1/4 of the gold ever produced; and are rumoured to be contemplating a gold backed renminbi to destroy the dollar for once and for all as a global currency...
But much more relevant...since June 2017, Gold is up 49%, silver 61%, Copper 79%, but...SOLG is DOWN 28% and, more to the point, FRES has HALVED in value (despite making more m money from gold than silver)...
There is no logic except...
Copper will be the new gold...
God is overdue a big rise (and associated miners a much bigger leveraged gain)
Silver is ludicrously cheap (it was $44 ten years ago; now only $27.6
SOLG is ludicrously cheap and FRES even more so...
