So are we being fooled by this action?

Silver Spot reaches $15 today on nothing, no credible news or justified reaction to anything that is public anyway. Up from a recent low of what was it, $13.50?

If all the other things that have happened that should caused it to go up, but actually made it go down, haven't moved it...what is happening now?



Personally, I think it's a head fake and I'd rather buy when it's $17 and still showing signs of moving upward than now.

    Silver (and gold) are reacting to dollar action. Dollar is reacting to various world wide actions and perceptions. Nothing has changed, only the direction. Will it hold? Probably not.

    It depends on how large a position that you intend to take. I see nothing risky about buying some pms here, unless you're doing it on margin. Then of course it's extremely risky and has nothing to do with the physical metals.

    I agree for the most part...but the dollar has changed recently before causing downward silver direction. Now it's causing it to go up? When it was causing it to go down, were we saying it's causing it to go down?

    Not being a jerk about it, I just think there's no rhyme or reason that the general public is going to know about it at the time of movement happening. All anyone can do is react.

    A person can say they were being proactive buying at lower levels, but again, that's all in hindsight and having a little luck of actually going the direction currently, actively being played. If you are buying and it keeps going down, that's called cost averaging...not being proactive lol.

    It sure seems that way 80% of the time. PM's need to uncouple from the dollar before we see a different scenario.

    Keep you arms inside the ride at all times. Don't stand up and don't rock.



    Toss your greed out before boarding and be prepared for wild moves.



    This isn't going to be pretty so just try to keep your own lunch down.

    They won't, they are the anti-dollar. I can't see any prolonged strength in both at the same time when in reality they are competing against each other. I can't imagine a scenario where they aren't.

    The markets have made it abundantly clear to the FED that there will be no rate increases.



    This will put a lot of stress on bonds.

    No mystery as others have stated. Dollar is getting pounded. Metals follow. Look at the last time the dollar was at its current levels back in the middle of Oct. Now look at where gold and silver where at in the same moment in time. That's the news. Metals are melting up

    It becomes a threesome when you throw bonds in the mix. Normally, bonds are the selected alternative to weak equities. Weak equities, a weak dollar and investors not running to bonds gives a very positive scenario for metals.

    Saw this before. Gave away an ounce of silver (Bochiman and another ) in a Guess the day (Nov. 2007) silver would hit $15. It only took about 27 years. image

    In that contest, he got nearly and ounce of Mercury dimes for his son, as I recall. Shipped them from Canada. And for those with better memories stretching back to the Carter years…, who can forget 1980 ? It's not a big deal at $20, $15, or $10. It's a big deal at $50.
