    I think the lower bound of the current trading range will be sub $30.

    Speculation is ok. It helps. Has there been any consistent speculation sources that have been correct a measurable majority of the time?

    Trying to hold a little on the buying for a little lower, but not wanting to miss this hole.
    Seems we are on a long run sideways roller coaster. That is, until it changes.

    buy when your gut tells you to. you will be either right or wrong in the short term but if you plan on holding for a while, short term is most likely irrelevent.

    << <i>buy when your gut tells you to. you will be either right or wrong.... >>



    In mid-May of this year I had inguinal hernia surgery and while I was laid up in bed I was watching silver dip into the high 25's and my gut was telling me something fierce to BUY BUY BUY. Didn't know if it was the Percocet and Phenergan talking or the 5 inch slit in my gut, but I ended up missing that buy hole. This was also when Facebook went public My gut feeling was right on that......absolutely a no buy.

    Now in the final leg of the "next leg" down. 4-6 week correction. Already had 3 hits to silver. Today was the start of the 4th.

    Dollar putting in its second up leg since the bottom at 78.93 four days ago. Briefly took a rest at 79.5 before heading up to 80.0.
    Suspect it will continue up to at least 80.2 and possibly 80.7 this week. It's strong because the Euro was weak.

    The stock market is at 13,129 off 1.6%. Gold is at $1,709, off 1.2%. The other pms are off more than 2%.

    If everything starts dropping for the next few weeks, it may be smart to start figuring the relative percentages instead of price levels.

    The Fed created a short-term "feel good" effect. Makes people feel warm and fuzzy and trusting. Like telling someone it's gonna be ok and throwing them a mink coat while theyre in the water in the middle of the Bering Sea in January........at the same time they're being eaten by a 26' Great White shark.

    It means the FED is not even good at destorying them when compared to the Europeans. Race to the bottom, my friend, Euro takes the lead. Dollar index is 47% weighted by the euro.

    The FED is always in the thick of creating more dollars and more debt. There is no other alternative. The fact that prices still move up and down despite this is
    just part of economic/business cycles. Gold and Silver have moved steadily up for 10 yrs in spite of some good whacks along the way. Short term prices can do most
    anything when you have no real regulation or position limits on the futures and an unlimited pile of otc derivatives to play with.

    Usually when equities poop the bed the metal sell off is even more pronounced or exacerbated. The last couple equity sell offs (the past few sessions) haven't been as dramatic.

    Anyways, when equities sell off there are not a lot of places to hide on the long side.

    I still like the way banks are behaving during this recent storm.

    It has it's own monitorimage Tomorrow will be telling. I like the index to bounce here. I'm on a flight back to Asia tomorrow. I didn't love what I saw two weeks ago. Taking another peek. I can't figure a couple things out in Japan.

    I'm on auto pilot trade wise for the balance of the week.

    I've never had luck being on auto pilot trade mode. Seems like too often I get tripped into an option, only for the b'tards to take the value down on me. The MM's know buy/sell points and do this because they can. I prefer to trade live.
    I equate it to putting in a bid on a coin or silver bar on eBay 2 days before the auction ends. You will always get taken out...when you could've waited til the auction was ending a pick a price based on what it is at that time.
    Seems to make a huge difference in my trading,,, just to mention. Anyone else feel like this happens to them more often than you think it should?

    There are ways to protect yourself from this. I find setting trades w/conditions the way to go. The right on line platform and broker help as well. I get better fills on auto pilot sometimes then when I trade live. It also takes all the emotion out of the trade. I also usually only trade highly liquid stocks/options with thin spreads.

    Dave, I wanted to start buying Japanese equities but now I'm not to sure after my last visit. Some things at odds with each other. Taking another sniff.

    POM: Done lost it about a year ago from my perspective. Only really been buying 2 things since...deals that are too good to pass up, or eye catchers like bars I've never seen before. I highly doubt silver will see $30 again if I live to be 90 (I'm 46). There might be one more once in a lifetime run in the next 45 years. Expecting anything else I feel is a happy place I just can't picture. Sorry, all jmho.

    So, jmho or jahf (just a head fake) or jtic (just tongue in cheek)?? JW: Just wondering.

    Silver never going to see $30 again comment...tongue n cheek sarcasm with a touch of disgust for those pounding the table at the time that if QE3 came it would hit new highs. Really, some of you took this seriously by me saying it wouldnt hit something that was only $2 away in the next 45 years...REALLY? You couldn't se the sarcasm in that? Really?

    Silver on it's current death march...My honest to God gut feeling and can't see how it could be denied.

    There it is, clarity for those of you who can't determine tongue n cheek vs. honest feelings. Hope it helps.
    I wish there was a way for all of us to meet so you could actually meet me to see the look on my face when I say something. I guess I'm just the kind of person that is going to have to spell everything out for others to understand what, and HOW I say something.

    Agreed it is hard to pick up any implied sarcasm or "tongue in cheek" comments when they could easily be one's actual sentiments. That's what the winky or tongue poking out smiley faces are for.

    FWIW, a good part of the frustration towards you on this board is due to others taking your previous comments at face value, then you defending yourself by saying that was just tongue in cheek or whatever. To us it just looks like backtracking.
