For me, it's insurance and not really a commodity. If the economic situation changes, then it might become a speculative item once again. Until then, there's no incentive for me to sell it.

I buy silver for spectulation so I do have specific sell targets in mind.
However, I have always kept at least one $1000 face bag of 90% per person in living my household out of habit for a SHTF scenerio. Kind of goofy I know, but I think I get that mentality from my grandparents who all came over on the boat together from the old country and hearing their stories...........

All kidding aside, I am mostly a stacker of physical. If we do get a parabolic move, I may try to unload a bit of it, perhaps at 30% above what all the smart folks say is a rational valuation based on fundamentals. Another useful timing tool might be forum sentiment. When a bunch of forum newbies pile in, all buying large quantities without regard to price, and actually make money on their irrational emotional moves, that might be close to the end of the ride.

Agree. I won't sell unless I need the cash to make a large purchase.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I think I'll sell half of it sometime this decade.
I'm not looking for a particular price or rate of return... but my plan is based on the gold to silver ratio... Dow to gold ratio (possibly S&P to gold ratio)... and US-TB interest rates.
Plans can change if the right opportunity came around (like undeveloped land).
So to answer your question directly... I don't have a clue.
I will be selling some if it hits $20. Half if it hit $25 this year. At the other end I would sell some if it hit $15. My average purchase price is around $14. I used to have a much lower purchase price but sold most a few years ago when it $20

I knew it would happen.

Gold has a world price entirely unaffected by accounting games between the Treasury and the Fed. - Jim Rickards
My silver ETF investments are always for sale when profits can be made - selling at peaks and reloading at dips.

on the other hand... would you sell at lower prices if silver started to crater back towards $4 ?
