    I was thinking about starting a thread like this.

    My target a month or two ago was $28.50. But I'm still holding off until I see at least some upward motion before pulling the trigger. I can't see silver bottoming out lower than $27 (the summer low), but who knows?

    I added few ounces this week while I was purchasing some gold, mainly Silver bars.
    I will load more when I can find Eagles under $30 shipped.

    Was thinking 20, but might push into high teens as they try to grab the stops.

    I just bought some silver bars. I never had any luck predicting the bottom of the market but it doesn't really matter since I'm holding for the long term. I don't see the US government getting its financial house in order any time soon so I fully expect PM's to trend upward.

    I'm not going "all-in" but I've added to the silver pile the last couple of days and probably will add a little more through the weekend. I'm not looking to flip in a week or month though so I'm taking advantage of these "sale" prices!

    edited to add: I've also purchased some call options in the junior miners. Just a few! image

    Do you really believe it will go down into the teens, or is someone paying you to say this?

    I strongly doubt a dip to $20 or below...the economic picture does not justify that. Just a temporary dip and then another rise. I have been wrong before ( image a lot ). Cheers, RickO

    Same purchase amount when I buy. Would consider some gold outside of the norm if the premiums drop.

    Just purchased some old pour bullhorn 5 oz Engs and I paid for them as if Spot was still in the low-mid $30's if that tells you anything.
    It's getting to the point, when you come across them and the seller is asking a fairly reasonable price (assuming this is what you're collecting) you better just pony up.
    I'm really not adding anything else other than them unless it's one of those gotta-have-it bars.

    Bought a 10 ounce bar last week. First 10 ounce bar I've purchased in almost 2 years.

    "When is everyone pulling the trigger?"

    Buying small amounts as it continues to fall. When it looks like it is high, I'm thinking $40ish, then move it into something else. Wait for the next cycle; lather, rinse, repeat. Realize that sometimes cycles last for years so you might be buying over time and stashing. When it gets high, start bleeding it off like you acquired it...slowly. Never like to buy a load and wait and then reposition a load all at once, just too much room for bad decisions and also a great opportunity for fear to grip your brain. This way, there's never any pain and that reminds me of the reason George Carlin gives for not exercising..."No pain, hey, no pain."

    LOL. Yeah, I wish. Sorry, im just a free thinker. My thoughts and ideas are not influenced by newsletters, mass media, or even my buddies in the industry. I do my own research taking into account all current and expected information including investor psychology.

    At $20, silver is still up 400% in the last 10 years. Thats purdy darn good. And while I agree with everyone that the US financial house is in jeopardy, I am also a value investor, and on a relative basis, silver at $30 is not cheap compared to other assets. At $20 it becomes much more a value and is back to being affordable for J6P.

    From a technical viewpoint, a break of $25 will be devastating, probably taking silver to $20 within days.

    I would like to buy 20-40 ounces of silver tomorrow; however, I expect the coin dealers won't be selling.

    I believe will see $25 in the near term (6 months). If it does drop to $25, I would hold off until $23-$24 hoping it falls that far.

    We will only see $25 silver if the FOMC decides to let the dollar strengthen much more against the euro. Their desire to protect American exports and jobs will prevent this. I believe we are at the high end (dollar index) of their acceptable range.

    My gut feelings tell me your correct. We need at least a month or more of an upward trend to confirm the "Bear" has gone into hibernation. Silver Bear Market is approaching the 2 year mark since it approached the $49 mark back in 2011. It's been a slow & steady downward trend since.

    recent downtrend not much different from 2008 decline ($19 to $10) that recovered with 499% gain. Those that hung on when they shook that tree did not regret it.

    Made the rounds today. Premiums are spreading from what Spot is. Guys wanted Spot + $2-3 for generic christmas bars because they say they are selling at that level. I said no thanks 5 times today image as the powder burned in my pocket.

    It's difficult to imagine a scenario in which a buy below $30 doesn't come out a winner. Doesn't mean it can't happen though, "a market can remain irrational longer than an investor can remain solvent."

    Actually, similar. Since 2003 each pull back is stronger as is each resulting bounce back up to newer highs:

    I'm not talking about charts. The entire mindset of metals is different, except among to 50 or do regulars on this board. Big money now has different ideas.

    But regarding the chart. Uptrends are uptrends until they aren't. This 2 ye nearly 50% decline is not at all similar to 2008, when ALL assets were declining.

    As is the case with any chart.

    Pulled the remaining paper silver trigger this morning at 28.70, all in triple long. No guts, no glory. Bad call, no IRA.

    I find all the metals fairly valued right about here, Au and PT 1600, Ag 30, Pd 730.

    I'll add significantly to bullion positions if 20% lower and lighten up at 20% higher, but at these prices, content to watch and learn
