I just got off the phone with Lind-Waldock. They have confirmed for me that the official Comex closing price for today in the May11 silver contract is $46.06.
This means that the winner of the autographed, Big Yellow Hat is...........
MONKEY SMOKE
Mr. Smoke had a guess of 46.08 so he barely beat out R Man J at 46.00. The official spreadsheet can be viewed here:

Mr. Smoke (may I call you Monkey?), please email me at tfmetalsreport@gmail.com with the address to which I can send your prize.
This was great fun. I'm very pleased that so many participated and that I rescued my minimal reputation by only missing by $0.25. Have a great rest of the day. This being the final trading day of the week, it should surprise no one that silver is trading higher on the Globex. This has been the case for about 6 or 7 weeks now. Maybe we can see $46.50 and onto new highs before they shut things down later this afternoon. I'll have a full weekly summary either later this evening or tomorrow. TF out.
Quick question - Yuan devaluation bad for US dollar? and thus good for silver/gold?

ReplyDeleteCA Lawyer falls to the ground, whimpering, $46.66, $46.66, what happened . . .
i hate to bust your bubble but your bid is over, so 46.00 would win.....remember spay and or neuter your pets
ReplyDeletebob barker...the price is right bitch
Congrats Monkey Smoke!
ReplyDeleteI am distraught at missing out! Retail therapy is called for... off to the coin shop ;)
Good job Monkey Smoke!
ReplyDeleteOH COME ON ... I chose 46.44! but I thought it would be at close of the spot market! :/
ReplyDeleteCongrats Monkey Smoke! We need a picture of you striking a pose with some blingin' shiny stuff.
ReplyDeleteSpank the Monkey!
ReplyDeleteSpeech!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Monkey Smoke...
ReplyDeleteIf anything else, the ID name alone cracks me up almost as much as Turd's always has. Classic!
Turd...maybe I've missed it over the last few weeks, but have you kinda stopped including analysis of Copper lately?
Does it no longer fit in with all of this? I ask because I was wondering if you own any or if you recommend buying any. Those big copper bars on some of the sites are just very freakin' cool looking. But I wasn't sure if it was worth it for future value. There aren't copper shortages yet are there?
Thanks much! Great week again as usual!
Let's hear June 30th predictions of Gold/Silver!
ReplyDeleteWell done Monkey Smoke!
ReplyDeleteApropos as well because I thought there would be more poo flung at Silver by The Flying Monkey Brigade.
Good fun though. Thanks Turd.
Missed it by $.24... Well, at least I was closer than Turd.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, a good week.
Congrats Mr Smoke

ReplyDeleteYeah, the AGQ action is addicting in itself, but I'm also getting the feeling that there's a tailwind developing, lots of folks getting on board before "it's too late".
I actually picked up a little more AGQ at 335, thinking "OK, I've just picked the top" and I'll go into the weekend negative ....but it keeps going up... truly amazing.
Way to go, Monkey boy.
ReplyDeleteI was only 15% off, lol. I guess I should be more realistic next time rather than hopeful.
Goldline is a total scam. There are so many more better places to buy bullion. It's Google looking at your browsing history and keywords, though, so that's why you're seeing that ad. Everyone sees different ads.
ReplyDelete$61.13 for ASE? Yeah I don't think so.

But wait! For only $77 you could get this lovely painted ASE!

Congrats Monkey Smoke...Glad I was way low at $44.75
ReplyDeleteEric#1...Bacon will do strange things to the mind after awhile...only kidding:-)
I'm looking forward to Monday and onward at this point. No fear here, just patience and I know I'm right about it. (self pep talk there)
I don't have much choice regarding SLW because I will not repeat a mistake I made once already with it.
I'm encouraged by GG also. It is hanging in there and not really budging downward at all. It just wants to rise at any Au strength. I see that as consolidtaing and ready to break out to $60 soon enough
From Stewart Thompson
ReplyDelete22. Silver tagged the $46 marker last night. I believe we are very very close to a short-covering frenzy. We are probably in the beginnings of it now. The shorts are in agony. A hard hit could follow such a frenzy, once they finish bailing.
23. Short covering is buying. It is demand. The old highs of 1980 for silver sit in the $52-54 area. Price could fail before that level, or there could be a super-blast of shorty pants loss booking right thru there, that could take silver to $60-80 in days. All is possible, all is real, all is now. The bottom line? Shorty, shorty, pants on fire, hanging on a bullion wire!
24. Attention gamblers. The odds of a gold parabola occurring right now are higher now than at any time in the whole bull market. Call options are your weapon of choice. I’ve already told gold and silver hedgers that were earlier CONCERNED about a FALL to buy 70% put options and 30% call options. How many listened? Do NOT play top caller in this market. When price moves into a parabola, it takes no prisoners. Speculative gamblers who want to take action should buy 70% call options and 30% put options, preferably using a range pgen, as I am. In a parabola or crash, the COST of the option is DWARFED by the rise in the price of the option. In a monster move, it’s possible that even if you are on the wrong side of the trade, the 30% position makes hundreds of percent or even thousands of percent for you, making the 70% wrong side of the trade irrelevant. This is very rare in markets. Then again, so are lifetime winners in markets a very rare type of person…
I am calling $64.75 for COMEX close on June 30 2011.
ReplyDeleteIf we are not within $2 of this either way, and someone sends me a Turdhat, I will eat my Turdhat on video and post it on youtube.
congrats monkey smoke
ReplyDelete@ kiwi
if we are wrong it will be momentary. The Trend is our friend. Relax monkey smoke just told me we will be 46.50 spot at 4 pm.
But but, in my mind the real closing price is when all trading all over the world stops at the close of the Globex at 5 pm EDT. :)) So, I could still win.. hahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteYes if the Chinese allow their Huan to be revalued by +10% THIS WEEKEND, Gold, Silver (and all commodities) will explode.
ReplyDeleteGiven the trading holidays in Europe and US, this could be their good opportunity to do so.
FOAGQ...
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of your comments post my post.
I figure by leaving some in and Monday opens gapped up, I caught a piece of it and if it gaps down, even big, I know it's coming back and I've got 75% dry powder ready to go back in.
Monkey Smoke
ReplyDeleteI want your call for next week Wednesday.

ReplyDeleteI think another thing to keep in mind going into weekend, and I always have to remind myself of this, is that while I might miss a gap up with my PAPER, my PHYSICAL never sleps and it catches every move, good or bad.
Blythe's monkeys go up in smoke.
ReplyDelete... Good one.
Wacthing the selling in GPL is amazing. Their are 7 lots of 10,000 + shares just sitting there. No way its going to blow through that with current bids at 2,000 shares.
ReplyDeleteSLW is a little different. Every time it nears 42.35, a mystery 14,200 ask order pops up. Price drops to 42.23.
Congrats Monkey Smoke!
ReplyDeleteFOAGQ I'm done leaning. In for the weekend with 25%.

On Level II, who is ARCX? They are behind a very large ask that keeps popping up for SLW. Every time it hits 42.30. It appears.
ReplyDeleteSucks that the Markets are closed for a long weekend. Think I'll get out for some fresh air and take the Harley for a beat run.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you all. May God shine his perpetual Silver upon you.
GPL is a dog. Bought in at $4 and it hasn't moved at all. Somebody help me.
ReplyDeleteHi guys. Long time no post. Coin Shop Report - local guy has a shipment of eagles coming in 3 weeks. Everything he has now comes in and goes out all within a day. However, they're amassing quite the bucket of weird generic rounds. Limited edition stuff, odd 1 oz bars, a couple 10 oz bars, it's all coming out of the woodwork now. Quite the selection if you want to dig through the generics box. Selling is picking up speed, everyone is bringing in any silver they can get their hands on and cashing it in. Buying is slowing down. I guess not everyone can afford 1 oz anymore!
ReplyDeleteOh and premiums on eagles are $5.50. Eagles are $51.50 today. My goodness. Over $50 for one eagle. I was getting them for $40 a month ago.
@atlee -- you staying in for the fun this weekend?
ReplyDeleteJust picked up 4 lottery tickets. 2 May SLV 46 calls and 2 May SLV 43 puts. Only paper silver I'll have into the weekend. I used to be indecisive, now I'm just not sure.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing SSK,
ReplyDeleteI saw the same yesterday when it went up above 4.10.
30-35k lots every cent upwards from 4.10 (roughly).
This is turning out to be the best week, month, and year for silver ever, and I have been following silver for 47 years. The last time silver hit 50 dollars was so long ago, and was at that price for such a short time, I was barely aware of it. I was not as smart as Scott in those days, but then I didn't have the internet either,, hahaha. It appears that we have an incredible seven UP days in a row for silver. What is even more incredible is that everyone of those days was up more than .30 cents. This is truly unprecedented. I will post the results after the Globex closes at 5 pm EDT.
ReplyDeleteThis is price and time I use for my spreadsheets.
Calvin, rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteI think the POSX bounce is done at 74.20. Laying down buy stops on XAG now, before Globex closes. Also laying down buy stops on AUD.
It's hard to believe POSX can bounce when Philly's number is a big miss. Fortunately correlation between POSX and PM prices are not 100%, like T-bond and S&P index.
CD... I think all of us FOAGQers are leaving skin in the game over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteFigure at worst it gaps down and what, takes 1-3 days tops to be up again. At best, you catch a bit of upside.
@Silver Cell
ReplyDeleteAmen, buddy, especially on #24. In a market that you know is going to be volatile, trade both ends. Long slightly OTM SLV calls and puts. The only way you lose money is if the price doesn't change. OK, sure, it's a gamble, but the odds look awfully good from where I'm sitting.
I just can't get into the miners discussion here. Why would you trade against the trend? That's not even gambling, that's just hoping.
We're talking 650,000 asks sitting. ANd we just exhausted it only for the bids to dry up. Something's gotta give this last 45 minutes.
ReplyDeletewait hong kong london and sydney will still be open right? They don't have 'good friday' in China do they?
ReplyDeleteSSK My hubby says it is the ARCA electronic exchange, one of the ECNs. Different exchanges interface over the ECN's. ARCA executes stock transactions for its clients, who would be different brokerages. Different brokerages use different exchanges, and you can even change the routing of your own bids. There are rules about how bids and asks get routed too, and the first part of an order might be executed on one exchange and the rest of an order on a different one. There are others like NSDQ, ARCX, BATS, BWX, etc.

From Daniel FCB:
ReplyDeleteBeen suffering lately from SLW remorse. But I just checked it out at StockCharts.com and it looks like it's been sitting on its 50 DMA like a cat ready to launch itself up onto a table. The MACD seems to have have started a move off its bottom as well. Then again, over the last year the 50 DMA hasn't meant much. Hope it's not just wishful thinking on my part.
But I have gone in the last couple days and bought some more 2012 calls. GLTA!!
Can't decide if I should buy some May puts as insurance.
RE: AGQ
ReplyDeleteI sold half yesterday at close and I'm holding the other half through the weekend.
Grats Monkey Smoke.
FUBM to end the week?
ReplyDeleteHow about a HUIBM?
Where's our entry point for silver - 42???
ReplyDeleteIt's not going to be easy but I'm going to hold onto my May 45 SLV calls over the weekend. I'm pretty sure this $1 a day trend will continue.
ReplyDeleteMy risk tolerance is rather low, but I did leave on a minimal lottery ticket base in OTM SLV May calls (50 & 55). Despite my horrendous timing and fuzzy strategy, I made more profit in calls these past 2 days than the previous month in AGQ.
ReplyDeleteWhile I am wary that 'they' own the casino and change the rules whenever it seems like they might lose, it certainly looks as though the hitherto immovable object is encountering the proverbial irresistible force.
Good luck one and all, enjoy the holiday weekend. I am off to spend the paper gains on more Morgans. Big thanks to Turd for making this community possible, and to the members for making it even more interesting and rewarding.
Just hit 46.50, I am a 8 month amateur, how can I track the price during the holidays this weekend please? Apologies people!
ReplyDeleteThanks
Silver is hitting all time highs as we type - 46.51! As all in as I ever am - holding my miners, keeping my PHY.U, PHS.U, CEF. And the physical is just sitting there, growing in value. I almost expect to see it glowing.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hubby's SLW is staying in, and he bought more this morning.

ReplyDelete@ Xty
Here I am. Two emergencies in the family. One taken care of the other very, very serious and we don't know what to do, thus my absence.
Dehydrators. God, I love them! Make everything from dehydrated fresh polenta (made from fresh corn on the cob) with cilantro and jalapeno peppers (yum!) to sprouted grain bread and crackers. Takes time, but great to have.
Yes, food prep would be a wonderful topic.
My position, pms-wise, is just to sit tight. No buying/selling. I feel I just can't time the market and have confidence that it is on an upward trend, even if my miners are just stagnating for now. So, given that my head is spinning from family emergencies, and things are changing minute to minute, I'm so emotionally drained that it's just not smart to s

The other side of the equation is producing food, though.
For anyone who has access to some dirt, now is the time to start gaining hands-on experience in growing your own food.
And if you have small children, giving them their own little garden-spot will help teach them the value of producing their own food. (as well as help motivate them to eat their vegetables!)
I heard a low-pitched humming sound coming from the basement gun safe, I opened the door to find my stack of silver comex bars glowing and giving off a pleasant radiant heat.
ReplyDeleteCatseyenu,
ReplyDeleteI think the take away word was "this morning".
$1510 looks like a slam dunk at this point.
ReplyDeleteThis is great.
$46.60... A couple of days ago we were still worrying about breaching $36... Insane.
ReplyDeleteTweet from Zerohedge:
Some may be delighted know that $46.60 is where American Eagles pass $50 on the Monex.
congrats monkey smoke!
ReplyDeletegeez, $46.62 on my screen - wow.
GPL just had a big sell off. Again!
ReplyDeleteMy PM's don't glow.
ReplyDeleteThey just smile back at me :-)
I asked my wife this morning:
ReplyDelete"I really need some good sleep. Please watch the computer while I'm sleeping; if the daily balance drops below $0, come wake me up so I can look."
I slept like a baby. I sure needed it.
Gold and Silver: the gift that just keeps on giving.
kiwi - 47.03 that's my bet for 4 pm. I was wildly enthusiastic on the Turdhat contest, going over 50. But I am happy to take what we got. Congrats to Monkey Smoke - I hope you will pose in the hat and change your avatar.
ReplyDeleteIrene - sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope you find your way, and you are right not to make big decisions right now. Sitting tight is fairly popular here, but not necessarily the majority.
I own 900 shares of Gpl in my Roth Ira. Should I sell them?
ReplyDeleteTrading strategy I've been doing for those interested.
ReplyDeleteJust sold PHYS at 13.50 with NAV premium nearing 6%. Bought when the premium was 1% just a week or two ago.
Moved the position to SGOL, and now will wait for the premium on PHYS to drop again and then switch back.
I think this is a good strategy especially given bullion's collectible tax rate.
@Xty
ReplyDeleteI made a prediction of 47.03 as well.. ;)
NG hits a new low for the day!
ReplyDeleteSold my AGQ at $330.71 today, now it's $338.53, so I left 2% on the table after a 20% gain since the 11th. I keep feeling like I screwed up now that silver keeps on rising. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for the TURD BOTTOM sometime next week at around the $45-$43 range.
ReplyDelete@ Chin Music
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Comex info... it is so surreal I forgot what the spot was April 1st ... no fooling LOL!
The last 26 day rally we had was after the $2 drop on March 14/15, we then rallied up $8 from $34 to $42 before experience another $2 drop to $40 on April 12th.
ReplyDeleteI pointed out that $2 drop similarity in a comment here on April 12 and two days later said that this current rally we are on is moving twice as fast as the last one and that we would see an $8 rally in 13 days, putting us at $48 by the 25th of this month. That pattern appears to have stayed the course as we are at $46.60 as I type this.
Prior to the March 14/15 drop, we had a similar $8 rally from $28-$34. If we get the $2 drop this time at $48 taking us to $46, the next rally will shoot to $54 before seeing another $2 correction. Just some food for thought going into the weekend.
Question for all:
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody have knowledge as to whether the which of the following is more profitable: The average producing gold mine vs the average producing silver mine, if they were to get average yields for the same tonnage processed?
I'm thinking about which sector will be more effected by rises in energy input costs.
Edit: very poorly worded first sentence, but I think you'll get it.
ReplyDeleteThanks DPH and Xty. Coming here - even if only for a few minutes - has really helped brighten my day.
ReplyDeleteatlee,
ReplyDeleteI'm in for this weekend. Thanks for the fortifying comments. I put a small SLV hedge on, but I've learned the importance of not giving up my position in an anticipation of a short term swing. I probably would be up 3-5x my starting capital if I had learned that earlier.
SLV puts for plausible dollar amounts are ridiculously cheap.
Typo on that last $8 rally part, it was a rally from $26-$34(not 28-34) starting at the end of January going up to the middle of February, about 26 days. So it was two 26 day rallies each good for $8 dollars, and now with the doubled speed, $8 dollars in 13 days with this current rally.
ReplyDeleteJust as I said imminent, bam, profit taking or a small attack happens.
ReplyDeleteOk, safe to resume the march after 4:00 I guess.
JNG,
ReplyDeleteI jumped out yesterday morning and then back in during the evening on a dip. I just could not miss out on this move, even if it meant losing some money.
Jesse's Cafe, Endless Mountain (silver log), and posts here helped me to decide to stay in. A good decision.
I'm staying in over the weekend.
@Justin
ReplyDeletePerhaps with the faster time frame of your pattern, the dollar increments will increase, in both directions, in other words, more volatility.
JohnboatCat
ReplyDeleteSomeone was asking about the canned butter and cheese. You got some didn't you? Good?
Price of Silver now solidly above the stock price of JPM now. Doesn't mean anything, but it's fun anyway.
ReplyDeleteThere, finally, $46.66. Right dead nut at 1:00 p.m., pacific time.

@mammoth - Thanks for the cheese link. They sound delicious but it looks like they have an issue with heat in certain areas of California so I'll have to call and get more info I guess. That would be a problem because when the lights go out and the A/C is off (can you say blackout) it might seriously affect the quality. Of course, this is a possibility with all food storage so I'm trying to figure out an option for this situation. Wish I had some land so I could dig a root cellar and also build a hogan. Oh well... that's what my end game is anyway. Silver to gold to land! :-)
ReplyDeleteSOld some SLW at the close. 42.39. Awful. Going to put some more on the AH market. If there is one today. Pretty fucking lousy week this silver and gold miner trader.

too much discipline I guess.

ReplyDeleteCanned Butter? What are you, some kind of weirdo?..... ;-)
Man, what an ending to an amazing week....
The way mining shares trade it's like some HF monkeys have got the words of an imminent raid and set their shorts ready and yet EE could not pull the trigger so far to get a meaningful sell-off.
ReplyDeleteWow, too much too fast? I wonder if the general public is becoming aware.
ReplyDeleteRobert Leroy
ReplyDeleteJust off the top of my head, it seems a lot of gold miners are talking about cash costs of $500-$600 per oz. While a lot of silver miners are more like $5-$7 per oz. Would seem to me that the silver miners should be swimming in cash relative to the golds.
borte said...@EVIL
ReplyDeleteSo what do you see in your crystal ball then?
Your wallet in his pocket?
Aw screw it. Let's just go for 47 on the globex close.
ReplyDeleteJustin - interesting, a good simple pattern.
ReplyDeletegniuz - and I meant 5 pm not 4 pm (I think I am going to go into withdrawl when this stops trading.) But I am still expecting a last minute upswing, as people decide they want silver over the weekend.
The thing about canned butter and cheese I don't understand is how you 'cook' them without cooking them.
Much4Him
ReplyDeleteyou are welcome ...
as you know silver and gold are God's money ... after being in this for quite some time (2005) I did a bible study on the significance of gold & silver and their underlying meaning ... gold was easy as it speaks of our Lord's Kingship ... what was surprising to me was silver spoke of His blood redemption thus my attraction to silver now and back in 2005 ... I had all the info saved to hard drive but a computer crash wiped it (no backup duh!). A dilligent study around silver in the O.T. & N.T. will reveal this though.
Our only thing left that we really need to stockpile is water. Does anyone know where we can get freeze-dried water at reasonable prices? I heard it doesn't take up much space and it's easy to rehydrate when you need it.
ReplyDeleteOversimplified as usual but my mind has been skipping beats after the doc prescribed meds for my tick bite (and potential Lyme disease) BUT... If you believe that the "True" GSR should be 16 to 1 and today Silver is 46.50 and gold is 1507... Is gold overvalued and should be $744 an ounce? Or is silver undervalued and should be $94 an ounce? Answer this correctly, make your play and you will win big ;-) My guess is without the current manipulation in the markets, the real prices (as driven by supply/demand) should be closer to S:100/G:1600.
ReplyDeletePablo, I'll sell you some. Just tell me where to ship it.

ReplyDeleteI picked up some extra specs during the morning and lunch time raids and have decided to hold through weekend. Monday morning we may be waking up to 48 or 49. I'm still relatively light, and can weather dip to 35 w/o margin becoming an issue. I find that sort of dip in only a few trading days unlikely :)

I just finished "The Great Silver Bubble", loved it. A ton of detail, even though the author's bias against the Hunts is shot-to-the-nose obvious. If you can get past that, the rest is a treasure.
Here's a lesson on listening to your gut and having confidence, which I did, and following through, which I didn't.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned Orofino Gold (orfg)down in Colombia about 7-10 days ago.
It was $.10 when I mentioned it. It went up to $.18 today. Damn!
I had 30,000 shares going into February 11' and sold them off at a small profit to move some capital around. It's been on my "buy" list the whole time just like a bunch of other stocks.
This one is bugging me as the history of the region and the miner next door to them should have forced me to buy back in with some of my other profits instead of some physical (gasp!)
Oh well, hinssight is 20/20 and it will come back down I hope. This a a very early explorer and I think they are going to really nail it once drilling results and some preliminary operations unfold. This is a low mkt. cap pure spec.
@i1
ReplyDeleteI'm of the mind to eventually swap an Engelhard 100 oz bar for a house down TX way. And no, I won't be using a/c :)
@Eric,
ReplyDeleteFrom your cash costs, if the miners werent hedged then gold would be getting about $900 profit per new ounce and silver would be getting about $40 per new ounce.
Disregarding other minerals that are mined, what would the industry average #ounces/ton mined be for each type of mine?
@ kiwi, FOAGQ
ReplyDeleteSorry catching up on posts still; but speak of addicting, I played the same as you Kiwi and picked up at 332.86 in between classes this morning. Staying strong into the long weekend.
Congrats Monkey Smoke! Beat me out by $.03. Can we have a recount Turd?

ReplyDeleteseeing how you are a CPA ... if you can figure out a way to get a tax deduction on canned bacon I'd be all in :-)
@RLP,
ReplyDeleteI was expecting more volatility during this current run, but with all of the hype around gold/silver lately on the internet and with CNBC touting gold/silver to sheep like these two metals are going out of style, I expect the pattern to remain until we see if the next cycle is from $46 to $54 in 13 days or if it reverts back to 26 days.
CNBC touting gold and silver, the dollar in the dumps and rumors of a 10% Yuan revaluation, I'm holding everything until the end of the current cycle to $48 which should be by Tuesday at the latest.
$54 is the number to watch if the pattern holds and we dip to $46 after touching $48. If it gets to $54 in 13 days after that dip then the cycle is going to shift again and will either reduce or extend cycle time by 50%. Should be interesting!
As of the Comex pit close:
ReplyDeleteSilver up 8% for the week!
Holy Smokes! I still need more physical! I better buy fast!
I can only hope (hard to say this) that the other spec I had in the Yukon doesn't hit it big. I hate to wish such things which means I should maybe buy some back.
ReplyDeleteIt's fractional and I had 1,000,000 shares.
Actually, I just wanted to own 1,000,000 shares of something once in my life. Better listen to my gut again but I think it's a dog overall due to the ownership but the history of the area has produced the largest placer nuggets in Alaskan history. They claim to have found the source. H'mmm?
Pretty torn up about that Orofino right now.
Oh well, can't own them all at the same time.
Pretty sure this has happened to all of us at one point. Still sucks.
@ Robert, RE: Silver miners vs Gold Miners
ReplyDeleteThere have been arguments in which I read that miners are not going up because of the energy is going up as well. This supposedly will cut into "profits" into miners, I laugh at this (at least in the case for silver miners). Clearly they are not seeing simple algebra...
Let us say that 50% of the cost of mining involves energy costs such as oil (even though I think this is closer to 25%). Now, various silver miners can mine an oz of silver for ~$4-$10 an oz. Say the cost of energy doubles (as oil will do when it heads back to $150+). This would give a new range of cost of mining from previous levels to ~$7-$15 dollar an oz.
Now if you do the same type of calculation for Gold, this tends to get a bit more pricey, but gold's price increase should outpace its higher cost to mine. After all, the market can easily factor in the higher price to mine when it understands the importance of physical. We have a new perception to undergo within the world financial markets with respect to currency.
The underlying asset of silver is outpacing the cost of production to leave a profit margin that is truly a breath-taking opportunity for silver miners. Never before has there been this level of profit margin for silver, but these levels are known for gold. Expect the market to react in my opinion....
Full Disclosure:
I am in all silver miners....
Except for Rye Patch, which has a nice silver resource on-top of its oodles of gold in ground...
(It didn't start like this, I just see the most upside within them though. Their in ground value is rising very fast... I have companies that are sitting on fat stacks of silver resources)
I like silver miners better for their profit margin potential comparatively to gold.
Apologize for some of the re-post from earlier, but it should be on topic.
Hey has anyone gone on www.providentcoins.com before?
ReplyDeleteThey have some unique coins. They sell some .999 fractional silver coins in 1/10 and 1/4 oz sizes that look pretty cool. A bit more than buying 90% junk silver coins, but was wondering if anyone thought they'd be as good to have since they're coins in smaller amounts and .999
http://www.providentmetals.com/bullion/silver/private-slv/fractional-999-silver-rounds-bars.html
They also sell some very cool looking copper coins of buffalo, liberty, morgan, and other designs. Anyone know/think if copper is worth it to buy for future value?
Opinions?

Thanks much!
Robert
ReplyDeletethat's the part I don't know either. From doing DD on stocks I occasionally see some data on actual mining costs per ton, but don't know where I'd find that right now. Seems to me I've seen it mostly in relation to polymetalic deposits where they want to throw in all the value of the gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper etc. and then they say "it only costs $XX per ton to mine the stuff, so we are going to make a fortune and that's why you should buy our stock!"
@Chin Music and Eric
ReplyDeleteTax deduction should be on "swine asset eaten" not canned bacon. ;)
Chin-
ReplyDeleteNo problems on the deduction, just list it as a PC (Pork in a Can).
Yep, a little silly at the end of a profitable week.
Canned butter as yet unopened. Cheese on the way with my second case of pail piggy. Going to experiment with freeze dried, vacuum packed, oxygen tabbed grilled bacon and cheese samitchs.
ReplyDeleteEric - now I am getting silver porn in my email from APMEX - beautiful Mexican silver onza's - this is going to kill me. But the good news is they sent an email saying they received my money order and will ship in 1-5 business days (first time I have cursed a long weekend!).
ReplyDelete@Scott so it looks like the profit margin is better for silver miners, but what about total profits based on typical mineralization for an average mine?
ReplyDeleteGold is ~17 time rarer than silver, so if say a silver miner gets 3oz/ton then a gold miner would get .18oz/ton.
This give me $135/ton for the silver miner and $270/ton for gold. But given that golds input cost ratio is about 2.6 times more than silver according to Eric's numbers, this means Silver is slightly more profitable. And should become more profitable as energy prices increase.
Of course these numbers are based on silver's recent huge move. So if it were to drop then it might move in golds favor.
Thanks for the help!
SSK said...I think the take away word was "this morning".
ReplyDeleteI'm holding not trading, my last buy in was a little over $12.
Thx!
"mmmmm, oxygen tabbed"
ReplyDeleteGold is limping along, compared to silver. Must be massively manipulated as silver breaks it manipulation chains.
ReplyDeleteThe Gold/Silver ratio is down to 32:1 and falling.
monkey.smoke is on fire! congrats! beat my $46.00 call by $0.02.
ReplyDeleteUp 150% since $18.62 on 8/25/10 when I began literally screaming at friends/relatives to buy! Thankfully some did.
@Chin music! I did a similar bible study, silver has always been money. 1,000 shekels (about 500 oz) could buy a very large and potentially profitable field. Always been money. There's a direct correlation between evil and hatred of silver.

ReplyDeleteProvident is one of the regular sites that gets talked about around here all the time. Seems like people are generally pretty happy with it. Thinking about using it myself if I can't scare up a Mexican 50 Peso gold piece locally.
Personally I wouldn't bother with copper. You could buy a chunk as big as a shoe box and it wouldn't hedge your future inflation costs any better than an ounce or two of silver.
Premiums on fractional silver are generally pretty high, while that on 90% coin is nonexistent. What fills the niche for fractional silver better than a 1964 dime?
@johnboatcat - keep us informed please. Was thinking canned butter could double as cooking oil for fried rattlesnake in beer batter. Yummy NWH! My great-great grandma Polly (a Mormon pioneer who was half Algonquin) left us an excellent recipe using cornmeal but I took the liberty of jazzing it up with the addition of Polygamy Porter from the Wasatch Brewery in Park City.
ReplyDeleteBlythe must be swearing up a storm at the CME today for no margin hikes! Unbelievable!

XTY...I just got the same silver porn (lol) from them a few minutes ago.
ReplyDeleteAt some point if you order frequently enough you get a $10 shipping rate all the time on every order. A frequent shopper marketing tool.
My opinion on the silver mining stocks:
ReplyDeleteI think the silver mining companies are being forced to hedge. Until they start coming out and stating that they are hedging en masse (signaling the top in Ag), they will not move. They will not get a proper valuation and they will all be held in place.
When the big silver miners start to hedge, I will then go short the metal. Until then I'm accumulating miners. No sense in throwing them out when they are all worth more each passing day.

ReplyDeleteThe hummingbird photo is gorgeous. My SIL loves birds and loves to take HB photos as well. Those little critters are sure fun to watch!
Re: GPL - I finally gave up on that yesterday. Took a loss after buying around $4.56. Luckily, I wasn't too far in. I'll be moving the money into bullion. I'm still holding onto MAG and LSG, both of which have been very good to me. There's supposed to be an arbitration decision on the conflict between Mag and Penoles sometime in the next week or two, which I'm hoping will fall in favor of Mag and surge the price. If all else fails, they're probably about a year or less away from being able to produce, and I'm hoping they'll give out a dividend at that point. Also possible that they get a buy out, but I think it's unlikely with silver going parabolic. LSG just put a poison pill in place, which I think implies a buyout is in the air.
ReplyDelete@Pailin - Sounds good. I'll report back my impressions after reading it this weekend.
kiyotei - They sell that canned Ghee for cooking oil. It is Clarified Butter.

ReplyDeleteHere's an eBay listing with great pics of the older Libertads that I like. Nothing wrong with the newer ones either.

The daily chart for gold makes me think it is hitting a parabolic moment. I still think silver is going to outperform it, but I think there might be a catch up moment for gold. Just like silver left 36 in the dust, and blasted through 40, I think gold might go straight to 1600, and prove Turd actually is a witch, as his Memorial Day call is pretty much on the money. Being a quarter out on the Hatbid was awesome - even if Monkey Smoke actually brought home the bacon.
ReplyDeleteEric#1 - VERY NICE! I simply must get some of those now. The back is my favorite side. What a lovely edge pattern and the snake-eagle eating eagle is sweet! Also makes me hungry for nopales :-)
ReplyDeletejohnboat/kiyotei
ReplyDeletethe great thing about clarified butter is you can use it at higher heat than regular butter and it won't burn. Maybe that's the ticket for fryin' up those rattlesnakes.
Just got back from my local dealer, he said he has to rely now completely on what people bring in to sell for everything but %90, and even when he places his next order to his wholesaler, its a 10 week delay! He can't bring himself to make the order yet because the price is so volatile. Sounds like we are going into a phase transition to the third leg of the silver bull going by Israel Friedmans predictions! To the moon alice! Here is a clip:
ReplyDeletePrice Points and the Coming Silver Squeeze
To define what I mean by shortage in silver, I say categorically that I’m not interested in the level of world inventories of silver, COMEX inventories and the guru’s stories. I am only interested to know if the users are receiving their shipments of silver on time. When a delay of silver shipments occurs, and affects most the users, I will consider this as a shortage.
Let’s see the stages of a shortage.
1) Pre-shortage – the users will have to wait 3 to 6 weeks extra for shipments. Then the prices can rise to $20-30/oz.
2) Shortage – the users will wait an extra 6 weeks to 4 months for silver. Then the prices can rise above the old all-time highs of $50/oz.
3) Super shortage – the users have to wait more than 4 months for their silver shipments. The price will range from $100 to prices you won’t believe.
If this last scenario occurs, and gold has plenty of supply, the price of silver, at a minimum, will equal the price of gold. And my crystal ball tells me that silver can exceed the price of gold by a great deal.

ReplyDeleteThe eagle on a cactus, eating the rattlesnake is a recurring theme on all Mexican coins. National symbol of some kind. Something to do with the birth of the nation. Very cool.
Anyone have any idea what is going on in GGCRF?
ReplyDelete10 Minutes before close, someone dumped 200,000 shares with a last trade at .74 (bid was .78 and never moved). It proceeded to trade up until .80 cents where it closed for the day. Then, after close another 130,000 shares were sold at .745 (with the bid still standing at .78).
Over half of the volume was at below-bid prices (by 5% for that matter) at the end of the day. What gives? Anyone who has access to better software, I am dumbfounded by what I see.
Is something shady going on or is this just the worst trader in the world?
Eric and DPH - that first coin you linked to is the one they just sent me the picture of that I was drooling over. I also like the look of the gold 1 oz onza's and they had a low premium over spot too - I think the lowest I saw the other day.
ReplyDeleteGinger - thx re the picture - it is hard to explain the addiction to bird photography and birds in general to those who don't get it, but my parents were bird feeders and I guess it is genetic. Unfortunately, I do seem to attract a rather large number of pigeons and squirrels too, but we maintain friendly relations with the neighbours as we also have the biggest front yard on the street, and are a magnet for the toddlers. Scare the poop out of them at Hallowe'en, but win them over the rest of the year. There I go, off topic again, but aren't we allowed at the tail end of an insane week?
Clarified canned butter I understand - that is what I meant about cooking your butter.
damn. and I had 46.12 :-)
ReplyDeleteXty,
ReplyDeleteI mostly agree with you. Gold stayed over $1500 during the entire pit trading session. It stood up to some pretty heavy selling over the last 24 hours! So there seems to be good base for the blast-off to $1600.
Did you see the latest comment from Santa?

Eric - those are gorgeous. But already bid pretty high. Did you bid? I was thinking ever since Brad bought that bowl that we should warn each other if we are bidding on eBay and not outbid each otther!
ReplyDeleteSilverBleve - you wrote:
"If this last scenario occurs, and gold has plenty of supply, the price of silver, at a minimum, will equal the price of gold. And my crystal ball tells me that silver can exceed the price of gold by a great deal."
I am going to read the article. I have never heard that suggested before. What kind of dollar value are you thinking, if the dollar still figures in the final scenario.
Scott - I don't understand quite how the bid ask works - SSK was asking about ARCX above, and I read into this awhile back but my memory is rusty. But when you place a market bid (or ask) your broker is obliged to get the best price only on the first 'block' of your order, and then can put the rest out on different exchanges, and they trade slightly differently. On stocks that have high volume the differences aren't as great, but on lightly traded stocks it can be odd. We use iTrade for just my mining account, and it can get you bad strike prices - and that is how I found out what was happening. (I know market orders, but sometimes I am impulsive and jump right in - learning to be patient, haven't screwed up majorly in quite awhile.)
Hey Scott.. You're my Go-To Guy on these stocks.. remember? :] ...You're supposed to explain it to ME! :] ....Very weird ...I haven't checked the stockhouse board.. I wonder if some of those savvy SLX folks might know something..

Birds are fun and it's one of those things that can become addictive the more you learn about them.. so I completely get your facination with them! I love looking through what others have done too so if you have an online scrapbook that you share..I'd love to see it! ..If not.. just keep changing your photo around and we'll get to see lots of your beautiful handiwork! ;)

ReplyDeleteI personally strongly believe that government has gotten far too big. I also believe that its probably too late to fix the U.S. before a collapse. That said I'm not above trying to help people that believe in smaller government.
About a year a go I got the chance to have dinner with Gary Johnson and talk to him for about an hour. If I got to personally appoint the president It would actually be a toss up between Ron Paul and Gary Johnson. Gary was called governor veto when he was governor in NM. The NM government actually SHRANK when he was governor.
He has announced that he is running for president, and I ask that anyone whois interested in a smaller government look at Gary.
I just went to his website and contributed the legal maximum to his campaign. (As I did for Ron Paul in 2008)
For the Ron Paul fans here:
When Ron Paul was asked about Gary Johnson he is quotes as saying "I can't imagine endorsing anybody else."

Xty I didn't write that quote, its part of the original article but I agree with it 100%. Simple supply and demand, there exists less silver than gold above ground, shouldnt that scarcity translate to a higher price eventually? We are all watching to silver/gold ratio as it goes down, I believe it will reverse at some point. jmho, but the guy who wrote that article was the one who first talked Ted Butler into learning about silver all those years ago and is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteIf supply/demand were the only thing that drove price and there was no ee, silver would cost 10 times gold already today, there is a lot of gold around. Anyone with money can go out and buy as much gold as they want, Sprott got his gold delivered in a week. If you had a million dollars and you wanted to buy gold, you could easily have it in your hands within 48 hours, probably 24 if you live in a big city, on the other side of the coin, how long do you think it would take you to buy a million dollars worth of silver? Its anyones guess really but its going to be a lot longer than two days, probably by orders of magnitude. This is probably all common knowledge by the regular readers of the turd, but I always look for something to contribute, if only so I can feel like I have given back something for all I have learned.
Loving the coin porn too everyone:) Keep 'em coming!
Rhinestone,
ReplyDeleteGpl is a well managed company with new eqipment and good relations with its workers. Their properties have been mined since 1452 and are still going strong.

America 1st,
Fractional silver coins are not a good value. A 1/10th oz silver is about 3.1 grams, a silver dime is 2.5 grams. Just get a bag of 90% coins instead.
by gold/silver ratio reverse, I mean gold will be less valuable than silver. just to be clear sorry.

ReplyDeleteMy wife likes to point out that a lot of my favorite coins have a certain thing, or things in common. I never noticed. Honestly. :O

ReplyDeleteLast week xty told me how to create a photo. I tried it and get the same thing you do. I have a mac also. Thought I was doing something wrong.

ReplyDeleteI've been in my gmail profile, etc. I have a picture in there, and have even changed it a couple times but that never comes through. When I post it still says "add profile picture" and if I do that I get that yellow exclamation point triangle thing, and then it just sits there forever and doesn't do any thing.
Hey Eric#1 and XTY...Guess what yours truly just purchased from APMEX?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't take it anymore and did it! :-)
Here's a hint..."I love how around the edge it says "INDEPENDENCIA Y LIBERTAD"!! How cool is that?"
ReplyDeleteIt all your fault Eric#1 ;-)

ReplyDeleteI know eBay sucks you in!! That's why thoughout 2010 I ended up buying 3 or 4 times as much silver and gold as I initially intended. Glad about it now though!
Used to be able to get some awesome deals (way way back in 2010 LOL), but not much anymore. People are paying ridiculous prices now, especially for silver.
Chin...Hey MI. Bro, this is yooper Rick. I also know of silver & gold importance in the Bible. It is the Lord's deterrent to the evil of usury. Re: Rothschilds' "cash cow." Go Wings in 4.
