Jeb Handwerger and Jordan Roy-Byrne join us for an examination of why the miners and metals are languishing. While there’s been a lot of upside in the metals over the past 11 years, the past six months have been trying many investors’ patience. Precious metals slam-downs seem to be the rule of the day, and the stocks have not kept up with the metals’ price increases. While there are certainly external reasons dealing with metals price suppression schemes by governments around the globe, there are also a number of technical reasons why these conditions have arisen. Rather than examine the well known gold/silver manipulations, Jeb and Jordan focused on the technical reasons, which always weigh on the markets. We always need to be aware of the many factors that affect metal prices.
