I personally feel QE is all but done by years end, but if I am wrong still here is a big problem
Each and everytime we have a big sell off, its make people more and more afraid to jump back in a buy. They know that its only going to sell off again in time, and usually when you least expect it. limits the buyers, they are starting to not trust it, (I am not talking about the people who buy as a place to store wealth) , but the ones who like buying to make a few bucks. IMO, if you pull out the people who buy it to try and make a play on it, you could shave another 5-10 bucks off the price.
What will determines the fate of PM prices is the perceived risk in alternate investments. Equities, bonds and the dollar are currently killing PMs for this reason. What one must keep an eye on is events that affect the risk in those three areas. While most believe pulling the plug on QE will have a negative affect on PMs, I feel the negative affect it will have on equities and bonds will be a plus for PMs. The "new" QE money didn't go into PMs, closing the spigot will take its toll on bonds and equities. Don't forget the trillions in derivatives just waiting to blow up. The whole system is so fragile I can't think of any safer place to be than in metals.
Also affecting PMs is a market that has declared recovery is upon us. It will soon realize it is just an illusion. A slowdown in worldwide money printing is also taking a toll on PMs, but Japan just announced a game changer with the BOJ getting ready to release a $1.4 trillion stimulus.

So why has silver dropped 20%+ since this was announced?
I don't really know, but I will think about it. Silver reacts differently than gold, in terms of the economy and that being the case - if stocks are up, it should also mean that it is anticipated that business activity will pick up as well, correct? That being the case, silver should be up in anticipation of higher demand.
The fact that silver isn't responding to anticipated higher demand - might be saying something important, eh?
Maybe we'll get to see how silver does in it's role as a monetary metal sometime in the not-too-distant future. I truly think that none of the classic market valuation methods can be considered reliable now. There are simply too many false indicators and too much false data.
So why has silver dropped? I honestly don't know the real answer, but I can certainly speculate. Market emotion, I suppose - but not alot else. Got any ideas about that, Dave?

Tulving isn't showing any shortages of silver in bulk, and their prices are still pretty consistantly tied to spot so I can't say that silver is in a bifurcated mode yet, nor can I say that it's an inefficient market, other than in terms of smaller quantities (which always command higher premiums anyhow).
I still can't say that I know, in economic terms why silver has dropped other than some emotion in the market. If it's just emotion, it will also run the other direction at some point. Silver has always been more volatile than gold, it's just hard for me to convince myself that I know what's really going on.

I don't know if thats true though. Even if I bid a max of 35 days before the drop if people were really spooked bidder number #2 wouldn't run me up to 35 if he didn't want to go to 34 himself

While I may agree with you, I still see auctions for ASE ending in two days bid up at $32-33 already. Anyway, I may have been wrong in my assumption but I am curious to hear your reasoning about why the price of silver on eBay is still $35/oz. I have usually noticed that the prices on eBay are the current on the market plus the 10% fee. I found it interesting.

I agree that sellers that post buy nows might add fees to spot when deciding to price a listing. But I don't think there is a connection to fees when you look at auctions. Most bidders have no clue what we pay in fees when we sell.
Go look at franklin halfs. Those are around $15 delivered for one coin in circulated condition. Thats $41 an ounce
Who bids on one franklin at a time? People that want physical silver but don't have enough money available to buy a roll at a time is my guess . Those people think its worth 41$ an ounce. That is what they are dollar cost averaging in at right now.
Before some of the prices were a little high because buyers were taking advantage of combined shipping to get multiple items from the same seller. With the big uptick in free shipping that doesn't work as well anymore.
It sounds like you're talking about collector silver coins stamped pretty that someone handles individually and mails to you.
Silver in 1000 oz ingots and 5000 ounce contracts trades for spot. >>
5000 oz contracts I think have nothing to do with physical at all. Nothing will ever convince me that drops like what we saw this week are driven by industrial demand . It's just silly to assume some entity that uses silver would wake up on a Tuesday and decide to value silver a dollar lower at 10.43 AM .
I never used to think about exit strategy but I do now and I don't see the 1000's especially trading at spot more likely a discount to spot . Even 100 ounce bars are too big.
Even if you could get spot for 1000 ounce bars how is the buyer going to pay for them? I'm not taking any personal checks for $27,000 . If you go to a B & M you will get a line of garbage about how illiquid they are and how you have to take a haircut because of that.
I'm not worried about getting out , I'm just adjusting my buying habits to go with thinks that are liquid when selling. Thats why I'm buying wedding bands now with no stones and ignoring bracelets earrings brooches and all that rubbish . Although I did snag a better date half sovereign at melt. I'm still an opportunist if something presents itself.
I don't want to have to convince buyers that they need my 2000 coin lot of 50% Australian sixpence , even though the coin collector in me likes stuff like that I have come to see that buyers are going to be less than excited when presented with that.
The thing about exit strategy's is you don't know when you might need them but you want them to be quick and painless.
It may seem a bit wierd, but I have a bunch of nickels in rolls and a bunch of clad halves that I kept buying long after I should've stopped buying them. They aren't even worth trying to dump.
Now, I've started thinking that even these coins will be useful in some ways. Yeah, I know. Doomsday prepper. Yeah, I know.

This current 1 yr dollar cycle is due to bottom within 0-2 months. How's it going to get to 100 by then when all the competing world currencies have started to turn the corner? The dollar is due for a 3 yr cycle low around May 2014. There's not time to move up to 100 and then return to 52-82 by that time. USDX at 100 doesn't fit into BB's plans. They want the dollar to beggar they neighbor just like everyone else. A nice even-keel dollar in the 76-84 is what they want. However, an "even-keel" dollar in that range doesn't stop the purchasing power of it from declining. That's a given just like every other fiat currency in the world. The dollar can stay at 80 for the next 10 years and still lose 50% of its buying power against a standard basket of goods & services. The commercials have usually been on the right side of the dollar futures. If it's going to 100, it's not any time soon as comms are positioned 10-1 short/long with a net 60,000 short contracts. They are just biding their time waiting for the dollar to pull back.
Silver has experienced a 20% drop since QE was announced because a ton more paper silver contracts were dumped on the market. The amount of physical silver available has been drying up and moving east. Try to get 5,000 oz bars of silver on the comex by settling in paper. The exchange will do everything in their power to force you to settle up in cash (or SLV shares).
GSR is about 3-6 days from completing this current 7-8 week cycle. It's possible it has already peaked. That big gap at 53 probably has to be filled first before going any higher. If Ben pulls the plug on QE then who will buy our TBonds? The FED has been buying 70% of them. Rising interest rates will blow up the $250 TRILL in otc interest rate contracts held by the too-big-to-jail banks. Japan has just announced that they will be initiating a QE much larger than the FED's $85 BILL/month. The FED has already begun another QE program by pumping the Monetary Base (M0) by $400 BILL since October. That's money that the big banks can bet with. M2 continues to increase at $800-$1,000 BILL per year. There's no chance QE ever ends....only what we call it will change. The FED's primary weapon these days is jaw-boning the varying definitions and interpretations of what it is doing. But they don't actually change anything.
Not any time soon, FOMC will not let it happen. I actually expect them to knock it down to bring up gold to slow the flood of gold to the east. >>

Yes I do. There is very little question gold is moving from the west to the east, especially as the price drops. FED/FOMC attitude on (and control of) gold price is about the only thing that can slow it down.
