  • Short-Run and Long-Run Determinants of the Price of Silver Master Thesis
    Short-run and long-run determinants of the price of silver Master Thesis Student name: Henri van Winkoop Administration number: 824406 Supervisor: R.A.J. Pownall Second reader: M.R.R. van Bremen Date: 2012–11–30 Introduction Silver is a material that is largely used for industrial purposes (sterling ware, photographic and electrical industries). Furthermore investors view this material as hedge against inflation. The price of silver has been showing a remarkable uptrend over the past years as well. Since the price of silver was no longer determined by the US Treasury the price has been determined by market forces. The most volatile event in the development of the silver price took place in 1979-1980, when several factors contributed to large volatility in the price of silver. This study will research the short-term and long-term determinants of the price of silver. This is done using the Vector Error Correction model after testing for cointegration and stationarity for the 1986-2012 period. Short-term factors are determined by performing a Vector Autoregressive Model, which treats all variables as endogenous. Main research question The analysis in this paper will focus on the determinants of the price of silver for the long and short run, which is done by using a Vector Error Correction model and testing for cointegration between the price of silver and several macroeconomic variables. In the presence of a long-term equilibrium relationship between two or more variables, the Vector Error Correction model allows for deviations in the short run. The Vector Autoregressive model is used for variables which are not cointegrated and likely to have a relation with silver in the short run.

  • 2020- H1 2021
    MKS Update: Precious Metals Forecast H2 2020- H1 2021 Outlook Precious Metals Key Drivers Extraordinary situation: When we published our yearly Precious Metals Forecast in January of this year, like many, we did not anticipate the widespread effect of the Covid-19 pandemic. For several weeks, the world came to a near standstill and the impact on the world economies globally will be considerable. Although we do not usually adjust our yearly forecast, we believe it is justifiable as it will better reflect the current extraordinary situation and its impact on the coming year. Our updated forecast is for the period from the second half of 2020 till the end of the first half of 2021. Economics: In January we predicted the global GDP real growth to remain under pressure till the end of 2020 and a possible gentle recovery in 2021. The IMF in its World Economic Outlook Publication on April 2020 projected the global growth in 2020 at -3.0 percent, compared to the January 2020 WEO updated projections representing a 6% mark down in global growth. The global stimulus package amount as of June the 9th 2020 stood at a colossal 15 trillion USD. This is unprecedented and will have a long-term impact on the world economies. Over the medium term, this massive influx of capital could result in inflationary pressure and a loss of purchasing power, in a negative global growth and negative interest rates context. Stock markets have performed well lately, but we believe that this is as a result of the liquidity injection into the world markets and the low or negative interest rates.

It began solely as a medium of exchange, then was obtained Abstract for the production of jewelry and silverware, and now is used in a myriad of in- dustrial applications and new technologies. Silver, and silver miners, can thus be considered for investment because it is useful both in periods of market volatility as well as periods of economic growth where industrial demand for the metal increases worldwide. Silver is often compared to gold for valuation purposes, and for decades, inves- tors have used traditional measures to determine whether one metal is under- valued or overvalued. One such measure of historical interest and importance is the gold-silver ratio. This paper explores potential reasons for dislocations in that ratio, as well as the current record level of the gold-silver ratio. Silver, also known as the white metal, has historically been associated with jew- elry, coins, and most importantly, as a store of value. But today, among the many different uses, silver's primary use is industrial. Whether in cell phones or solar Introduction panels, new innovations are constantly emerging to take advantage of silver's unique properties.

  • An Economic and Financial Deconstruction of the Commodity
    AN ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL DECONSTRUCTION OF THE COMMODITY STREAMING BUSINESS MODEL by Daniel Victor DiFilippo A thesis submitted to the Robert M. Buchan Department of Mining In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada January 2015 Copyright © Daniel Victor DiFilippo, 2015 Abstract The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the viability of the commodity streaming business model, both as a standalone enterprise and as a financing service for exploration and mining companies. A silver streaming company, Silver Wheaton, was chosen as the subject of a case study to accomplish this and nine silver streams that it acquired in its first eight years from 2004-2012 were analysed and evaluated. Using publicly available technical data, cash flow models were developed for all of the mines and development projects with which Silver Wheaton made agreements during this time period. Subsets of these cash flows were isolated to represent the positions of both Silver Wheaton and its operating partners in each transaction. The Capital Asset Pricing Model and its associated economic metrics were employed and calculated for all of the isolated stream cash flow models to evaluate the expected financial gain or loss to each party for every deal. Cash flow models were developed using two silver price series; one conservative and one bullish price series. These were compiled through the aggregation of price forecasting data from mining equity research reports published in the months leading up to each transaction. It was found that the business model resulted in poor financial outcomes for Silver Wheaton and excellent financial outcomes for its operating partners in over 50% of the transactions it concluded, when evaluated at conservative silver prices.

The SEC published notice of the rule filing (the “Notice”) on June 27, 20121 and received one comment letter.2 The Commission subsequently instituted proceeedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”) to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule change. 3 BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) strongly believes that the proposed rule change i s consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the Acct and all other provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The introduction of the Trust will provide numerous benefits to investors, including a relatively liquid, low cost, transparent means to transact in physical copper.

    To: House Tax Committee From: Josh McCleary, Co-Founder and COO, OWNx Date: January 29, 2018 Re: Support for HB 2421 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee, Thank you for the opportunity to voice our support for House Bill 2421. OWNx was founded a decade ago in Lawrence by lifelong Kansas residents with the vision of connecting the world with proven stores of value. The company has grown to serve more than 20,000 clients across all 50 states and Canada with an innovative financial technology platform. Financial Technology Recent innovations have made it possible to connect financial assets like never before. OWNx offers a unique connection to precious metals, giving them utility value and integrating them with the rest of the financial world. The OWNx platform is currently utilized by 1) Individual Investors 2) Self-Directed IRAs and 3) as an Employee Benefit. Gold and Silver as an Investment For more than 5,000 years, gold and silver have been core assets. They provide financial insurance and stability for individual and institutional investor portfolios. It is important to note that no other core ​ investment vehicles (stocks, bonds, etc.) have sales tax applied to them. So, investors who are ​ ​ ​ subject to sales tax on precious metals do not consider it a viable option for their portfolio. This eliminates an entire asset class from the diversification and risk-management tools available to today’s investors. Future Considerations at OWNx Under the current conditions, sales tax on precious metals in Kansas becomes a barrier to remaining in Kansas. Currently, all storage and logistics for our clients’ investments are outsourced to third parties in Delaware and Texas.

  • What Does Dave Have to Say About Investing in Gold and Precious Metals?
    What Does Dave Have to Say About Investing in Gold and Precious Metals? *Go to www.daveramsey.com, click on Tools, click on Ask Dave, and then separately type in the following key words in the search box to locate these and other related articles: 1. gold, 2. silver, 3. precious metals Gold is Good? QUESTION: A listener says a lot of people are asking about gold investments. Is this a good idea? ANSWER: It’s a bad idea to invest in gold. Everyone’s talking about it right now because gold is really high. In the book, Stocks for the Long Run, Jeremy Segall has a graph that shows what would have happened to a single dollar invested in gold, bonds and stocks since 1801. One dollar invested in bonds in 1801 would yield $13,975 today. One dollar invested in stocks in 1801 would be worth $8.8 million today. One dollar invested in gold in 1801 would be worth $14 today. Does Gold = Good? QUESTION: Kevin asks if gold stocks are a good investment. ANSWER: Gold is never a good investment. You need to do all your investing based on the long term – five, 10 and twenty year track records. Gold – any way you analyze it – has a horrible twenty-year track record. It is a high-risk investment and it’s a risk you should not take with your money. Investing in Gold QUESTION: Listener asks if it's good to have gold bullion as part of your investment portfolio. Dave doesn’t recommend it. ANSWER: It’s got a horrible track record.
