Why Bid-Ask Spreads Matter for Precious Metals Investors

Imagine walking into a gold dealer’s shop. You see gold trading at $2,000 per ounce on the news, but when you ask to buy, the dealer quotes $2,040. When you ask what they’d pay if you were selling, they say $1,960. That $80 difference? That’s the bid-ask spread in action.  The bid-ask spread is the difference between what dealers pay you (the bid price) and what they charge you (the ask price). It’s essentially the cost of doing business in precious metals — and it directly impacts your investment returns.  Think of it as the “toll” you pay to enter […]

Silver Price Prediction: The Cup and Handle Pattern Pointing to Triple Digits

Silver could be on the verge of a breakout. In the latest episode of The Gold & Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard explore a rare technical pattern flashing across multiple timeframes. The setup? A multi-year “cup and handle” formation already breaking out on 6-month, quarterly, and annual charts.
