Gary Savage: $10,000 Gold and $250 Silver are Easy Targets

In this podcast discussion, Gary Savage provides a comprehensive analysis of current market dynamics, focusing primarily on gold, silver, and potential economic cycles. He suggests that the stock market is potentially forming a "megaphone topping pattern" and may be approaching a cyclical bear market, with potential geopolitical tensions in Ukraine serving as a potential catalyst for market corrections. Regarding gold, Savage emphasizes a long-term bullish perspective, highlighting a 13-year cup and handle pattern that suggests significant upside potential. He believes gold could easily reach $10,000 and potentially even $15,000 during its final parabolic phase, which he anticipates occurring around 2027-2028. The extended base formation supports his optimistic outlook. For silver, Savage sees similar potential, predicting prices could reach $100, $200, and potentially $250. He recommends selling in stages during the final bubble phase, with the gold-to-silver ratio (potentially reaching 20-30 to 1) serving as a key indicator for market tops. The discussion also explores the dollar's role, with Savage believing the currency is in a secular bear market and currently experiencing a countertrend rally. He expects the dollar will make a lower high and then decline, which could support precious metals' performance. Savage warns that potential market movements could be significantly influenced by geopolitical events, particularly escalating tensions in Ukraine. He suggests the "war cycle" might last until 2027-2028 and could be a driving factor in gold's bull market. His investment strategy focuses on patience, avoiding over-trading, and strategically positioning for metals' anticipated bull run. He recommends using vehicles like leveraged ETFs and long-dated call options when identifying potential intermediate cycle lows. Ultimately, Savage remains cautiously optimistic, believing we are in the early stages of a significant metals bull market with substantial upside potential, contingent on geopolitical and economic developments.
