Silver Dropped to Under $100 - Will it continue?

GoobGoob Posts: 137 ✭✭✭

I recently checked the price of silver and It has officially dropped down to under $100 per ounce. Do you guys think this trend will continue or will silver rise back up? (Gold is also dropping and is close to being under $5000!)

    I think next week will be telling. Either it climbs back or turns down for a while.

    Pretty fair point
    I will say though, I have been keeping an eye on silver throughout the day and it is definitely going down a lot. Current price is $94.44, which is far less than I've seen earlier this week!

    True that lol
    I'm mainly excited because I'll be able to afford more stuff now...
    If gold goes down enough I might consider purchasing my first US gold coin, probably a quarter eagle

    EDIT: I just checked, gold JUST dropped below 5000, and is around 4.8k

    That makes me wonder if it'll go back to the $30 to $35 area... Either way, I'm pleased!

    "But the gains have taken on a more frenzied pace in recent weeks, driven by a wave of buying from Chinese speculators — from individual investors to large equity funds venturing into commodities — that has lifted metals from copper to silver to fresh records. As prices surged, trend-following commodity trading advisors piled in, adding more froth to the rally.

    “We had identified about three or four weeks ago that it turned into a momentum trade, not a fundamental trade,” said Jay Hatfield, chief investment officer at hedge fund Infrastructure Capital Advisors. “We were just riding it, waiting for this type of thing to happen.

    bottom at $75?

    Testing 75 again right now. If 75 fails, the bottom is more likely 50.

    I would hazard a guess they really don't care. Not as much as a for profit business in the private sector world would. They can sit on them indefinitely.

    There's not a lot of point in jumping in at 80 if it's going to 50. That won't make up for not buying at 20.

    I doubt this makes the market stronger or more solid. It has created much uncertainty.

    For those with that mindset, I highly advise staying out of the field altogether.

    I'm not so sure that the Mint wants to sell silver coins now.

    I doubt this makes the market stronger or more solid. It has created much uncertainty.

    That might be the point.

    The problem with some of the posters here is that they are convinced that "jumping" in and out of the market has some advantage over dollar cost averaging. Nobody is right every time.

    Can you buy those direct from the Mint ? I thought you had to get them from the distributors.

    I agree with your point about the cost. For a plain silver coin, 2x the price of silver is nuts. I do think the Proof is a better bargain, for whatever that is worth.

    "Collector Bullion" is sold directly from the Mint at an obscene premium. Regular bullion is sold via distributors.

    Mint pricing is based on a matrix that is based on spot. Repricing does not take place daily and the prices you quote will drop accordingly when the next repricing takes place.

    I think what we’ve witnessed over the last couple of months is going to dissuade the average stacker from jumping in over the short term while wild fluctuations occur. Beyond that, what are refiners thinking if they purchased substantial silver when it was over $80. How about the businesses that sold to refineries when the price was $110 and at that point the refinery would only pay the price in place when they actually process the metal.

    FWIW, JP Morgan -- or rather, analysts who WORK at JPM :) -- are bullish on gold and looking for $6,300. Less bullish on silver but they see support in the $75-$80 range.

    Doesn't sound to me like they're manipulating prices. :D

    Refiners were paying less than spot silver for months.....so they are well-protected even if they didn't hedge.

    75-80 sounds like plausible consolidation level IMO...
