UBS Sees Silver Hitting $35 On "Physical Interest In The Metal"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/11/2011 08:29 -0500- It took just three months (and a 50% spike in price) for UBS to do a 180 on silver. In the firm's most recent Silver update from Dominic Schnider of Wealth Management Research, the author now says "Silver prices remain well supported and have been able to trade repeatedly above USD 30/oz." More importantly for those who are concerned that the recent all time high just north of $31 was a one time fluke, fear not: "Temporarily, prices could even hit USD 35/oz on physical interest in the metal due to firm economic activity." Bottom line: "Investors should make use of silver volatility for yield enhancement strategies At levels close to USD 25/oz, we are willing to pick up the metal." Then again, none of this should come as a surprise or even lead one to make investment decisions: after all it was just in September that the same person, in a report titled: "Price strength not on firm ground" said "We expect industrial demand to show some weakness and advise investors to avoid the metal" and concluded "We therefore prefer to be sellers at present levels and would reopen a position at or below 17.5/oz." Merely another confirmation that virtually every sellsider on Wall Street is merely a momentum riding, backward looking, chart monkey, and all those who seek original, contrarian thought are advised to stay very, very far from Wall Street "analysis."
