Below is a major gold and silver update after Friday’s crash in the silver market.

We All Knew It Was Coming
February 2 (King World News) – Tavi Costa:  Volatility.

We all knew it was coming — we just didn’t know exactly how it would play out.

A clear macro framework is absolutely critical to being disciplined, patient capital allocators.

With that in mind:

Gold as a percentage of global market capitalization remains around 20%.

That’s still far from the peak levels seen in prior cycles.

Very far.

KING WORLD NEWS NOTE: Gold As % Of Global Stock Market Remains A Small Fraction (20%) Of What Has Been Seen At Previous Peeks

I view this as a useful timing signal for where we are in the broader rebalancing from financial assets to real assets.

There are a lot of emotions in the market today.

Step back, look at the long-term chart, and plan accordingly.

These are just my views…

Gold & Silver Slam
James Turk:  Even though gold and silver were slammed on Friday, my Fear Index this month 5.7% ominously rose above its Great Financial Crisis high 5.0% signalling a brewing financial crisis.

Buying physical precious metals with dollar-cost averaging still makes sense because:

1) physical PMs offer safety in a fin’l crisis
2) gold & silver are undervalued as my long-term calculations show:

Friday Was Brutal
James Turk:  Friday began a normal correction after gold and silver record highs but made to look worse after physical metal trading closed in London with gold fix ending at 15.12. NY paper shorts piled on for month-end window-dressing. They didn’t end this precious metals bull market that began in 1913 with gold $20.67 silver $1.29 ratio 16:1 & the newly created Federal Reserve began debasing the dollar.
