A 50yr forecast? Talk about a long term investor... Personally I don't care if silver makes it to $1k in 50yrs, the Dow Jones could be nearing a million at that point.
Now, I think the price is getting attractive at $14/oz for the long haul. But $100 or $1000?
Thoughts?
MarketWatch is so full of rubbish articles designed to get clicks. Many of the writers are volunteer authors. ANYBODY can write for MarketWatch. $1,000 silver? Now that's absurd. Sounds like the pump and dump "newsletters" that I get in the mail every once in a while, only promoting microcap stock.

This is in the opinion section of MarketWatch.
"The Trading Deck features opinions on trading and investing written by market professionals, not staff journalists."
It's not an article written by a MarketWatch journalist. Every paper has an opinion section that is open to contributing authors. The industry term for it is Op-Ed.
Just because you're not familiar with how news works, doesn't mean that MarketWatch is full of rubbish. Most people are smart enough to know when they are in the Op-ed section of a site or news paper.
I used to look at it years ago but it is just the internet version of CNBC. Totally worthless.
Totally? Approaching totally, but it still has a way to go.
What I really REALLY hate are the "7 things ..." or "10 reasons ..." links that seem like they would be interesting, but are really just PIGs that take forever to load on my really fast connection every time I go from one number to another.
Half the time, I would give up after the pain of clicking from #10 to #9 to #8. Now, I just don't bother.
So many sites are being optimized for tablets so that using a PC or Mac to view them is just painful. I used to go to USAToday the first thing every day and now almost never go there.
What's really hurting is having Zero Hedge start to put on weight. Sometimes the wait to scroll down and keep reading can be off-putting.
Developers put these things together with network speeds ordinary people can only dream about and presumably with 60" screens, like Microsoft, so when people complain about performance, it's always the user's fault or it's "by design." ( ... how many times have I read that in a microsquish help forum from an employee of theirs ... )
marketwatch should have some sort of "ridiculousness" test so that articles like $1,000 silver never see the light of day. Just pick out 25% of the submissions and reject them. So what if occasionally, a "good" article doesn't get uploaded?
.... I'm waiting for the day when I open a c-d forum and there are animated ads lining the left and right margins of the page. ... That will be sucky.
