From Chris Weber's Global Opportunities Report:

...if the Chinese economy falters, then it is very possible that commodities will fall as well, since China has been a huge market for them.

I think gold will do better than silver under this scenario, because gold is viewed as a monetary commodity by all the major players, whereas silver is viewed as an industrial metal as well as a monetary one. In a contracting economy, silver may fall.

That doesn't mean I'm going to rush to sell my silver, it means that I am prepared to see silver fall.

Crux Note: Chris has an incredible story – starting at age 16, with money he saved from his paper route, he made over $1 million from his precious metals investments alone. Quite simply, Chris is the best investor we know. We have never seen him wrong about a major market call. If you're interested in learning where Chris is putting his money today, click here.
