Is it possible silver will hit this jaw-dropping price?

January 8 (King World News) – Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at SaxoBank:  Gold and crude on the move tonight as Iran unrest attracts increase attention.

A Silver Price Of $1,377?
Jesse Colombo:  Another novel yardstick I have been experimenting with lately for comparing precious metals and commodity prices is the U.S. national debt. The chart, indexed to 100, shows that this ratio was $1,377 at the 1980 peak, $87 at the 2011 peak, and only [$76] today.

This confirms that silver has substantial room to catch up to the soaring national debt. In that context, $72 silver is not expensive at all, and a move to $100 and beyond is far from inconceivable.

One reason why this ratio is so important is that the higher the federal debt rises relative to GDP, the closer we move to the inevitable breaking point where the government and the Federal Reserve will be forced to support the U.S. Treasury market and fund government operations by running the printing presses on overdrive. This will send inflation through the roof and ultimately destroy the dollar, causing gold and silver to reach prices that are difficult to even comprehend.

This will not be ordinary inflation, but full-blown hyperinflation like what my great-grandparents suffered through in Weimar Germany during the 1920s. It devastated the wealth and economy of Germany and was the reason they emigrated to the United States. Unfortunately, it also led to mass radicalization, which directly paved the way for the rise of Hitler.

Unfortunately, this debt problem is truly a worldwide phenomenon, as global debt has surged more than tenfold since the mid-1990s, reaching an estimated $250 trillion. This towering debt burden is a ticking time bomb that will ultimately bring fiat currencies to their knees. That is why it is of the utmost importance for everyone to acquire at least some physical gold and silver to protect themselves against what lies ahead. This fact alone guarantees that precious metals still have much further to rise.
