 A Tiger. Financial News Network. News Update. Okay, folks, Larry Pesanento. Mid-afternoon update. Stocks are a little bit lower with the exception of the Russell. I ought to double check that because it was, well, actually the Russell is still down on the day. We've got up on the day. Got the Dow Jones down a couple hundred points. We got the NASDAQ down 150, 130 handles. Got the S&P down 30 handles, so it's a little bit of a sell-off. The Treasury bonds are still weak. They've broken down through some major support. We didn't quite get through 126, but it's probably just a matter of time until that happens. And the gold is actually trying to come back. We've got as low as 1953, and we've been as high as 1985. We rallied $30 off of the bottom there. Silver rallied about 50 cents. We're seeing a little bit of back-and-forth filling here in these metals to see whether they still have room to the upside. Personally, I am extremely bullish, both silver and gold. And it's just a matter of time, I believe, until this market clears 2100 on the upside. And the next stop will be somewhere between 3,000 and 3,200. That's down the road a year or two, but it certainly has that possibility in it because we've been at these high levels for a long time and people are acclimated to it. It's very difficult to buy silver rounds. I mean, it's just not impossible, but it's very difficult. The premium on them is 33 percent, folks. It used to be something around $10, 11 percent, sometimes even 4 or 5 percent. But now the premiums are a third. So if you buy something, you've got to pay 33 percent more just to get it. And believe me, silver is not a precious metal, but it's certainly not a rarer of any stretch of the imagination. It's just that they can't fulfill the need from what I understand from some of the coin dealers that I still talk to. So just keep in mind that if you can get crude oil to 120, you can get gold a lot higher and silver a lot higher. We'll be right back, folks, 877-927-6648.
