BrotherJohnF examines silver's technicals and whether the metal has finally placed a significant bottom in his latest Silver Update: Silver Miners

You’ve been reading the news and watching the economy. You know things are bad, and likely to get worse as central banks around the world continue to print money for irresponsible governments to squander. You know this means the purchasing power of the dollar is deteriorating, and that holding savings in dollar-denominated assets is probably a bad idea in the long term. So you’ve come to the logical conclusion that it’d be a really good idea to buy some gold and silver as part of your personal savings plan.
And yet you hesitate. There are so many people selling precious metals, and each vendor or broker or advisor you turn to seems to have their own opinion of how best to invest in gold and silver. Should you buy physically backed ETF’s, or perhaps shares in a mining company? Or maybe you worry about confiscation and start to consider numismatics. It can start to get overwhelming, and might paralyze you from buying anything at all.
