    sure helps my AGQ pick iin the first annual Baleyville pickers contest. My IRAs (AGQ) can sure use the boost. Hope it holds.

    GSR moved from 55:1 to a little over 52:1.

    Doesn't seem like alot, but a couple of GSR points means one metal has gained quite a bit on the other.

    I have been watching it raise slowly but surely the last week or so but the booster engines did kick in today.
    Hopefully it is not another drive up then dump price manipulation like all the recent ones in the last 2 yrs or so.
    I really don't trust any market today.
    All I can do is hope to catch a ride part ways.
    Best.

    I don't believe so...back in November, a forecast called for a surplus of 12000 tons by e/o 2011. Has this surplus been absorbed? For the first time in several years, the US Mint has lifted all restrictions to the AP's on ASE's ordering. It's obvious an over supply along with less demand seems to be the current norm.

    What's even greater is that AGQ is up 8% and GOOG is down 9% as I type. A personal daily double image

    Sold some AGQ covered calls yesterday afternoon (today's expiration). Figured I'd pick up an extra 1.3% or so for a days work, 3+% if they got called away. As I left this morning for the annual Daddy/Daughter day at the Auto Show, followed by lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, I was still OK. Little did I know what I would be coming home to.

    Nice job derryb!image

    Certainly had a very good day... we will see what Monday's profit taking brings... then, if it rises through the week to a point beyond today's close, then maybe, the move has begun. Cheers, RickO

    yes, thank you, SPLUNGE.

    "Splurge" is what you do with big big profits... that is, if and when one actually locks in some gains.

    Some of these more volatile securities have a high Beta, and can roller coaster all year and end up valued anywhere from up big, down big, flat, or anywhere in between, when an arbitrary calendar date rolls around or an actual trade is made..

    +5.09% on silver, +0.62% on gold, and +0.72% on platinum.

    There must have been something specific on silver, but I haven't heard or read anything new that would tend to indicate a move for silver.

    It could just be a one-day anomaly.

    Only thing I could find was the Wall Street Journal (where the FED leaks what it wants us to believe) stated "Federal Reserve officials are waiting to see how the economy performs before deciding whether to launch another bond-buying program."

    This may very well be the FED wanting to put doubt in investors' minds about more QE. If so it is possible that the money ran to the industrial metal.

    Heavy resistance at $32 the way I see it, but if it can break thru, $38 would be the next wall.
    I must tell the truth as I have been down on Silver as of late, I did pick up 25 oz today and have another 50 oz bar locked in, but couldn't get to due to a snowstorm today.

    Sold some 90% yesterday image Oh well, it was a profit, no sense in gettin greedy.

    Well, it closed at 32.20 Bid/32.30 ask. So, I guess it broke through. $38.00 you say is the next resistance point/

    Oh if it were only that easy.
    Closing at $32.20 Friday and not being able to build upon that, like what is happening today (or not happening depending on how you look at it), is not breaking thru .
    It has to clear the hurdle completely before $38 is even thought about. The high-hurdler is only at the approach of the hurdle, barely having lifted his foot yet to clear that $32 hurdle. If $34-35 is approached and sustained for a period of time, then the $32 hurdle is cleared and it then becomes behind the runner and he then has his sight set on the next one which is $38 in my opinion. Hope this helps to explain it.

  • WingsruleWingsrule Posts: 3,010 ✭✭✭✭
    Technically speaking, Coins101 is correct.

    If $32 was heavy resistance as you say, and spot closed above this figure, then it broke through that heavy resistance. There is no real definition of whether is has to break through by X dollars or Y% to 'count' as a break.

    Looking at today's action, there was a period this morning when it broke back under $32, and went back and forth over the next 19 minutes. Been green ever since.

    Perhaps you meant 'follow through'?
  • piecesofmepiecesofme Posts: 6,669 ✭✭✭
    Not to get technical image it's just the way I process the data. I don't think either way is wrong, just a different interpretation of what is really the same root idea.
    I prefer the phrase break thru, because that means to me the resistance that was the last solid level is solidly in the rear view mirror.
    Follow thru (or the lack there of) means it reached that point of resistance, but is stagnant % wise looking at it after doing so.

    Hi, I guess I'm fresh meat here, as they say,

    But all I've read these past few weeks was that silver was expected to make another adjustment before rising again.

    Chime in, if you will on some statistics I've come up with.
    $15-$20 Jan-08 to Aug-08 8mo
    9-16 Sept-08 to Sept-09 12mo
    15-20 Sept-09 to Sept-10 13mo
    20-30 Sept-10 to Feb-11 6mo
    30-50 Feb-11 to May-11 2.5mo
    35-45 May-11 to Sept-11 4.5mo
    30-35 Sept-11 to Dec-11 2.5mo
    25-30? Dec-11 to Jan-12? This line may end up in last run.

    I was thinking the adjustment would have been lower instead of rising.

    What you say?
