So where does it end up, this time

Silver down 5% today alone as of writing this.
So where does it find strength at now with all that's happened in the last few days and with some Fed members calling for the end of QE?

    I think it'll go a bit lower till early March.

    $25 to $28 range.

    All drops are looked upon by me as a very thankful and favorable event.

    If someone sweats these short term drops they really should not be invested in PM's.

    I'm dumping paper shorts at 29 and buying physical at 28.75. Looking for more QE as the FED picks up Japan's US bond buying slack. Japan will be printing to buy their own bonds and probably dumping a bit of US bonds.

    I think she'e heading on down too, around 27-28 for silver, still getting a lot of calls wanting to buy, so at some point the demand will keep the drop from being too severe.

    locally , people wanting to buy gold is limited, but it may be the better in larger market area, too many cheapo's around here.


    I am probably dead wrong on this but I just keep feeling this is the last year of the gold rush. (I know that the fundamentals dont say it and nothing is being done to address the current concerns, deficit, etc. But I just cant help but feel it.

    Don't know where it stops but my time horizon may be different.

    What DE59 said above pretty much sums it up for me:

  • piecesofmepiecesofme Posts: 6,669 ✭✭✭
    If one asks a question about something and assuming it is sweating is assinine and uninformed. It was just a question, don't read anything into it that isn't there.
    Metals have had a nice run, and I think they will continue to in the longer term picture, but not without some major sell offs, and I qualify 5% (either way) in 1 day to be something to get ones attention. This could be that first major sell off, and I would welcome it now that funds to reload have been realized.

    If we do have an upcoming major selloff it by no means will be the first or the last. This is the nature of the silver market. A step back is OK as long as it is followed by two steps forward.

    I do not consider a 1 1/2 year drop a short term drop with only temporary teasers in between.

    And what's so special about March?

    locked it a 45oz bag of mixed world silver at 31 so im happy. Now to wait for them to melt/assay and the check to arrive.

    Very hard for me to guess where it goes from here. Id like to say Im a buyer at 26 but not sure if i will be able to wait for it.

    I agree, but that's just not going to happen. We should just factor that in as a given on any 5+% run.
    It makes me laugh a little how some don't take a 1 day 5% drop seriously. It takes silver months to achieve a 5% gain, and then lose it all in 1 day??? I know that's the nature of the silver beast, but please don't pretend that it doesn't get your attention. It's insulting.

    I take a 5% drop seriously, as in I'm seriously going to buy some for the pile!

    It wasn't directed at you Dr, i should've been more clear about that.

    I'm saying that those who say it's not something noteworthy are the same ones that would be on here saying things like "to the moon" if silver was UP 5% in 1 day image

    a couple dudes named Fibonacci and Elliot might claim silver could go as low as $22 over the next couple of weeks

    of course, metals prices are also primarily driven by sentiment, and there are plenty of websites and individuals who will attempt to hype silver higher (and, interestingly, are also eager to sell you some silver, hmmmm :HMMMMMimage

    Isn't 15% considered a correction in the stock market?

    If you think you can jump in & out to your advantage on a 5% move, then do it. If you like reacting to every microscopic price change on a chart, have at it. I just can't get behind that approach.

    Until there's a major change in the overall market psychology (due to a significant change in fiscal and monetary policies), I'm just not sold on the idea of putting the same chips back on the table in order to keep risking them over and over. That's all you're really doing, and if you are trying to make a living doing that, just keep in mind that you are playing against the House who already has stacked the deck against you.

    I'm with Ricko, it makes for some interesting speculation, and sometimes it's entertaining and there's really not much you can do about it anyhow.

    Down 5% one day, yes.

    But silver is up 0.5% in the last week.

    Volatility can be nerve racking.

    Didn't silver have a 4% or so increase the day before?

    It's hard to take you seriously . Seriously.

    Notice I didn't chirp at all when silver was up 4%. I never do. I leave the chirping to you. You are predictable.

    I do watch everything closely. A habit of having traded for a living.

    I don't hold silver for the long haul as I find in speculative in nature. I've made that clear.

    Originally, I typed "If you sweat these short term drops you really should not be invested in PM's", but then I changed it to "If someone sweats these short term drops they really should not be invested in PM's" because I didn't want to make it seem I was talking about you.

    Nice WR.

    I thought these moves were always coordinated manipulated smackdowns. Funny how many on the board only see what they want to see. This is typical investor behavior. Maybe all those big rallies were to sucker in more sheeple?

    Wingsrule findings should lay to rest all the coordinated smackdown ideas.

    attempting to prove the wiser sage.

    I do not consider a 1 1/2 year drop a short term drop with only temporary teasers in between. And what's so special about March?

    Silver consolidated on two occasions in the 1962-1980 bull market 4-1/2 to 5 years before exceeding its former high. Silver also doubled in price within 6 months on two occasions in the 1970's. We've only seen one such doubling episode in this bull run (ie 2011). If we follow that game plan. Silver won't exceed $50 until 2015-2016. Gold on the other hand consolidated for 3-1/2 yrs on two occasions during the last bull market. That would suggest 2015 before seeing $2,000/oz. gold. It took 2-3 yrs for silver to reach bottom during the last bull market. Gold did it in only 1-1/2 yrs each time.
