    It's a thing not for the timid, especially being rigged up the ying yang.

    You call this a selloff? Nah.

    Here we go. Is it time to start buying again?

    You call this a selloff? Nah.

    Look guys, this Japan disaster wasn't expected. That makes it a potential black swan. I don't think it's over yet. Eventually the metals will head back up, but I am skeptical about an immediate bounce this soon.

    Tried to short, but didn't get it done. That should ensure a lower move.

    Me toooooo - oh well!!
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭

    Well, the $34 level held and even bounced back nicely, so far, from the overnight slaughter.

    Silver appears to be weathering the storm of the past week.
  • Coins101Coins101 Posts: 2,602 ✭✭✭
    I would like to see it get back up above that $35 mark. Once there, I believe we will see it creep up and up until it hits the next resistance point (which I understand is around $37-38).

    There are also big banks that help create those movements only to profit from them.

    We are above $35. Now, if we can stay there. She jumped at the start but are at $35.01 as I type this.
  • Coins101Coins101 Posts: 2,602 ✭✭✭
    A little bumpy this week though not bad and we finished nice. So, any guesses about next week?

    I guess a lot depends on world events.

    The seller canceled or did you? From reading your post, it would appear you changed your mind.

    I am on the fence right now. If I find a good deal, I may jump but if not, I will just sit.

    I heard in email from home this evening that the Tornado fighters from RAF Lossiemouth are on the way to visit Gaddafi.
  • According to Martin Armstrong, we want a high March PM price and a LOW June price to keep the charts going forward. If we get the opposite, low March and HIGH June price then breakout is delayed.

    I'm not an economist, nor do I know how to read the charts. I leave that to the pro's and just read everything I can to form a half way intelligent plan.

    Seems that's how things appear to be headed as of the moment. Gold has been correcting for 4 months. Silver is generally following but performing much better once the liquidity tides shift. This past week's deep dips allowed Plat and Pall to retest the necklines of their May-October moves. Silver and gold retested their Dec-Feb runs.

    I got a feeling that he is not too worried what his gold and silver is worth but more worried about how to cover his a$$.

    So who's thinking a nice up on monday? If I didn't just write a check to pay the wife's suv off I would have LOVED to have made a purchase this weekend...been out since end of January though so....

    Japan and N Africa+ the Mid East is all kinds of nutz. I do think we're on the rift of a world issue and major corrections before it goes too much off kilter.....
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭



    37 cents up already
  • Coins101Coins101 Posts: 2,602 ✭✭✭
    Up $0.42 as of right now with a $0.05 spread between bid and ask.

    Ok, now for a dump question, when you see a price quotes, say $2.00 over spot, is that over the bid or the ask price?

    Traditionally, it is over Bid, but people can name their own Terms Of Sale. Doesn't hurt to ask the seller beforehand.

    yes - it's always good to know the price before you agree to buy it image

    In the last 3 weeks I have spent an extra $2000 stocking up on non perishables just to get a jump on things. I have plenty of room to store that stuff so why not. It will save me more money that having that money in the bank will make me.
  • roadrunnerroadrunner Posts: 28,303 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Nice jump in silver overnight to over $36. But now it has to go back to $35.20 to fill the Sunday night overseas gap. Gold has to return to $1419.

    Back in January I bought a 14 Kook run from Grandam at a tad higher than I wanted to pay premium per oz on average, but still less than hunting those babies down individually. One of those gotta-have-them deals though that everyone here knows all about.

    We're a couple bucks away from them being a total ridiculous deal now. Huzzah

    Opened on NY down 83 cents now only low 20's down
  • Coins101Coins101 Posts: 2,602 ✭✭✭
    It's coming back slowly. Hum, it may even be green by the close.

    pitboss, if you care to share........ what non-perishables did you buy? Did you at least buy 1 bottle of Ouzo?

    And maybe not. I forgot it was the end of the quarter and there may be a lot of profit taking going on for appearance purposes. Will see what happens starting in April.
  • roadrunnerroadrunner Posts: 28,303 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Options expired today so no surprise the hits to gold and silver. Gold gapped down on Sunday night's open so it will probably maneuver up to there tonight or tomorrow to fill it.
    Silver should go up with it. GSR still living down in the low 38's which is still bullish for silver over gold.

    Everyone seems to assume that silver will naturally crash from current levels at some point. Interesting. I'm not that convinced.image

    Silver has been stagnant for a couple of days now, is it time for another move up?

  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭

    looking good so far!
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭

    Will it hold overnight?
  • WingsruleWingsrule Posts: 3,010 ✭✭✭✭
    We will scrape $40 this week.
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭
    Probably will hit $40 this week. I have been concentrating on buying those 5 ounce national park series just as a hedge on my other silver. I

    figure that I am getting them at less than silver value unlike the eagles that are selling over value. These 5 ouncers could also hold value a lot

    better than eagles if the market drops out on silver. The AP's are just about done selling what they have for 2010 and will start selling the

    2011's shortly.

    The ATB's were the gift of 2010-2011 from the AP's via the Mint, pitboss.

    I too am happy to stock up for the impending rise in silver, regardless of future numismatic value.

    I was looking over some silver round rolls to finance *another* ATB Set and may find it difficult to pull the silver-sell trigger.

    I may be a bit more willing to part with cash. I am waiting for signs from below or above (the current spot pricing)......
