Silver Is The New AI Play
Please click here for a chart of silver ETF (SLV).
Note the following:
- The chart is a monthly chart to give you the long term perspective.
- In The Arora Report analysis, silver has the potential to become an AI play.
- Silver is extensively used in electronics that go into AI data centers.
- AI data centers are power hungry. Some data centers are being built next to huge solar farms. Silver is used in solar cells. First Solar (FSLR) is the leader in utility scale solar farms. First Solar is in the ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio.
- Silver also moves with gold. We have previously shared with you that gold has hit a new high.
- The chart shows that silver is far from a new high.
- The chart shows the resistance zone. If the resistance zone is broken, silver can go much higher.
- The chart shows the trader magnet for silver.
- RSI on the chart shows that silver is overbought. Overbought commodities tend to pullback.
- In The Arora Report analysis, Wall Street positioning in silver is very low. This can lead to an explosive up move once the move starts going. Positioning is an important Wall Street mechanic. Investors who learn Wall Street mechanics gain important edges. It is difficult to learn the nuances of Wall Street mechanics because Wall Street professionals keep these nuances close to the chest due to their very high value. The best way to learn Wall Street mechanics is to listen to the podcasts in Arora Ambassador Club. To join the waitlist, please click here to fill out the form.
- The move in silver will come down to three factors:
- If the Fed lowers rates by 25 bps or 50 bps
- How gold reacts to the Fed
- Does a short squeeze start in silver? In The Arora Report analysis, silver is prone to short squeezes.
- The move in silver in 2021 was the result of silver becoming a meme crowd favorite and the resulting short squeeze.
- The Arora Report record on silver is unrivaled.
- The chart shows that The Arora Report gave a back up the truck and buy silver signal when silver was in the $17 range. The Arora Report gave a sell signal on silver hours before silver peaked. The chart shows that was one of the most remarkable calls ever made.
- Not only that, right at the peak around $50, The Arora Report gave a signal to short sell signal and gave a target for silver to fall to $34 in a matter of weeks. The chart shows that was another highly remarkable, spot on call.
- The Arora Report gold and silver ratings are used across the globe by individual investors, hedge funds, institutions, bullion dealers, and jewelers.

Protection Band And What To Do Now
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider holding *** in cash or Treasury bills or allocated to short-term tactical trades; and short to medium-term hedges of ***, and short term hedges of ***. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges. The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive. If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash. A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash. When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks. High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
Traditional 60/40 Portfolio
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less. Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
