In a traditional bottom, silver would then trade back DOWN toward $35 later next week. At that point we'd have the makings of a solid double bottom. THAT WILL OUR ENTRY POINT.
If you're not currently long, I would advise you against buying this rally. With a potential short-term upside of $3 vs a downside of $2, its just not a tradable proposition. IF, however, the next week or so plays our as I've described above, the risk:reward will swing dramatically in our favor and we can act decisively then.
More later. TF
2:10 EDT UPDATE:
If you are encouraged by today's action, I invite you to go back and re-read this post from Wednesday. Other than hoping for higher bottoms for silver and the HUI, the timing of it all and the buying points for the individual miners looks pretty good.

Silver failed to keep rolling today but it didn't get any worse, either, and, believe me, that is significant.
We have to start somewhere.

ReplyDeleteHere's hoping.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Turd, you are now my first stop when I want to know what's up. Rock on, cowboy.
On the other had TF, if you're looking to buy physical, you better go today.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow will be a Saturday and inventory will be gone.
@Turd
ReplyDeleteDing-ding! Your analysis aligns with mine. Let's hope we're not both outta whack.

Ridiculous!
Thanks for some great advice.
ReplyDeleteLong and Strong TF. Loaded up on EXK and GPL and looking very nice. I am buying a cushion of ZSL before the close and going long into the weekend.
ReplyDeleteNot trading over to the dark side folks by buying ZSL, I am just hedging my mining position as I am not going to get caught with my pecker hanging out again.
Cheers TF
Per our BEST FRIEND Trader Dan, "Bulls make money; Bears make money but Pigs get slaughtered."
ReplyDeleteLOL
Really nothing has changed. We had a gigantic corrupt coordinated take down of the market by extremely desperate players in deep trouble and with the aid and blessing of regulators.
ReplyDeleteIn others a great big lump of corruption came and sat on the market.
But in my view nothing has changed. There was always a correction coming (but not what we just saw) and traders could have made a nice penny on it if they were early buyers of silver.
But going long again is the business now. The US economy is well truly stuffed, there is no way out of their deficit debt problem - the cartel and Fed etc will play lots of games, but printing and stimulating will be the ultimate tool they will turn to....until inflation gets so far out of control they have to stop, or the collapse the currency entirely. Silver and Gold are essential insurance.
some relief for us holding AGQ!
ReplyDeleteThanks Turd, glad i bought Ag and not a miner.
ReplyDeleteSSK: GPRXF and SQIFF are the OTC tickers.

Thanks for everything you do TF!! Is $33.05 going to be the low or do you think we will cross back over it early next week when CME raises margins again?
ReplyDeleteanyone here know how to extract silver from xrays or has a good contact that does? i know of several services online but am interested in a personal contact. i have access to thousands of these
ReplyDeletelets make one thing clear that we are against the Criminal reserve banking system and we MUST demand from our own states to provide a state chartered bank available only to the residents of the state (checking account) and 5% interest saving to nonresident and residents of the state. I for one am not an enemy of the Criminal reserve but I understand how to compete and beat them in their own game. End the Fractional Reserve Banking System.
ReplyDeleteThank you Turd, much obliged sir!
ReplyDeletedamn exk exploded, first time i ever bot it was yesterday. technically looks good as a trade
ReplyDeletei haven't had time to do any due diligence on the fundamentals of this one but i see that it moves like a freight train
2 weeks ago the euphoria, yesterday the total despair, now since a few hours ago again the euphoria. People, you are letting the emotions get the better of you at the worst points of time. Please do not buy in after silver has risen 3$ in a few hours... unless you want your nose bloodied again.
ReplyDeleteCrude is starting to pick up speed.
ReplyDeleteInteresting point from ZH about the jobs report:
244K
but 175K was an "adjustment" for birth/death ratio -- wtf?? very convenient.
and 62K was LITERALLY jobs flipping burgers at McD's.
How far we have fallen that this is taken as good news.
Btw, final OI for yesterday is out - gained 4k contracts to 134k. Does not make sense to me unless we have indeed reversed course and this was the bottom. But it isn't.
ReplyDeleteMarkus, did you check out the picks I gave you? Who do you like?
ReplyDelete@Save_America1st
ReplyDeleteThat's just CRAZY! Wow.
Fantastic interview here folks
ReplyDeletehttp://gonzalolira.blogspot.com/2011/05/best-description-of-mortgage-mess-ever.html
* Note non PM related but it is all eCONomically related as far as I am concerned. Hope Turd does not mind a few off topic posts just to keep things interesting. Besides we were all Coned in the housing bubble anyway..Well not most of us ( Wink )
if i am planning to trade gold for silver, when will be my entry point? also at next weeks proposed $35 silver bottom ?
ReplyDeleteAu is coiling like it's about to spring up again.
ReplyDeleteThe turnaround will be just as breath-taking as it was on the way down albeit not as quick.
The SLV put story on ZH had me drooling abit.
I can't be alone in imagining how that person felt the past 10 days.
Hopefully they didn't succumb to greed and sold off this a.m. and went the other way.
Can you imagine? I can.
Turd,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you listenend to Ben Davies'last interview on king world news.
He is saying we will go sideways for a few months then turn up big. Just wondering what your thoughs are.
An expensive learning experience. TF called it...a little late on the dates and the extent of the takedown but close enough for government work. Easy to say in hindsight but we should have seen this coming over a long weekend with most of the big exchanges closed extra days. We'll have to pay more attention to the Hong Kong and London calendars after this. FWIW, silver went down about 30% in the fall of 2008 and I think this one came in at 28% or so. I'm not saying it's over, I'm lousy at predicting the market...just sayin.
ReplyDeleteWhen does the COT and Bank Participation report come out???
ReplyDeleteSeems the MOST important news of the day willbe if the big commercials continue to reduce their short position.
I expect it will show a big number down. If so, that's very good news for this being a bottom.
@Markus, sometimes we have to beleive numbers.
Very little know fact in the US. Sorry the article is in Spanish, but it says that Mexican central bank has quietly bought very recently 100 tons of gold in an attempt to diversify reserves

Turd, confirmed my thinking. I'm tempted to add to my physical this week, but I think I'll wait for next week and see what that brings....
ReplyDeleteDPH, sounds most excellent to me. But is that the morning Fatty talkin'?
ReplyDelete:-0)
Respect TPTB, I am glad that things have finally stopped going off the cliff and am glad to see my long-term positions no longer bleeding all over my screen, but I am also hesitant on adding at this time and am keeping my hedges in place. The extremely bullish moves in April are not the norm. A steady rise is something that will make longs profit without exposing us to the titanic downside risk we just went through.
ReplyDeleteThis week has been humbling. I was completely outsmarted by the Insane Fed Posse. I guess most of us were.
ReplyDeleteI felt like a failure this morning. My xag position was blood-red. But I rolled up my sleeves, traded xag hard pre-open, made back my losses and more.
Now I'm in the black, no position, looking for an entry.
We are up against ruthless and corrupt Big shorts, the CFTC, the Fed, the White House, Wall Street, and the MSM.
But we have a tremendous team and team leader here. If you're hurting, don't lose heart, folks. Our fortunes can change very quickly. The army of ants will win this fight.
GLTA.
DOH! I wish this was posted 2 hours earlier, I locked in a physical order at $35.09 this morning
ReplyDelete:(
Oh well my downside is limited to about $500 if we drop to $30 and I don't see that happening (unless we *are* in a bull trap and then I'm completely f'ed either way!)
SOMEONE PLEASE use your technical analysis wizardry to tell me we are not in a bull trap!
I bought CEF this AM at the open. I think $36 is going to prove to be a magnet below, it's the number that the losses to JPM were supposed to go exponential above. Once we cleared 38 silver went on a tear which looked like a squeeze to me. I think there may be something to the $36 number for JPM and since we glided down just above it yesterday on the floor, I think it's going to be the magnet for today.
ReplyDeleteIf silver can't break above it, then we are headed down to a lower stronger bounce point in order to take another shot at $36.
There is something about $36, conspiracy stories notwithstanding.
Phazers locked on target. Standing by.
ReplyDeleteSumo, my thought too.
ReplyDeleteLoved it when the hamster called us the biggest bunch of hard-asses he ever met.
Have you all any idea of how this board is monitored? It's a major sentiment indicator. To friends and enemies alike.

Onward to Victory.
No fatties lately...G'rrr.
ReplyDeleteHens teeth should say it all.
Eric #1's Lloyd Bridges comment had me laughing and inserting "ganj" in that funny Airplane scene.
Leonard OK...just a shot...This week is an outsized down week. Going back, down weeks > 25% have been followed by buying first few days of following week with a continuation of selling to test the bottom later. The rule of alternation applies perhaps less to manipulated POS like PMs but nonetheless let's go with that thesis. WE tanked hard at the beginning of this week so we might get some tepid buying days early next week unless those in control are truly unimaginative. Can't imagine doing the same f'ing thing as we did last week Mon. On the chart, MAs are beginning to turn up on the 60' SLV which could provide support for further uside hopefully to yest high and (if SLV was not an ETF) to fill the gap before heading back down (but it is an ETF so gaps are less of a draw since the underlying 24 hrs)
ReplyDeleteEveryone here takes the USD index very seriously.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they should. But as a UK citizen, with
gas (petrol) at the equivalent of up to $9 per
gallon , and similar prices in Europe, the problem I think is more inflation rated. The high rates of inflation throughout the world is a
much greater PM driver than individual currency fluctuation, I reckon. Right now, we see PM'S
rally, and the USD rally simultaneously. If the dollar really gets strong, Europeans will buy more PM'S, Americans a bit less, but they will still be buying, cos of inflation.
Sumo said, "We are up against ruthless and corrupt Big shorts, the CFTC, the Fed, the White House, Wall Street, and the MSM."
ReplyDeleteYeah, but they're up against a $14T+ debt, a dying currency and politicians who don't give a crap.
I like our chances. :-)
First post, glad I found this blog:
ReplyDeleteCEF discount has been reduced quite a bit today.
Focusing on miners this time around for at least 2 reasons--I think this time they outperform the underlying (I hope) and second, I am just not sure about SLV and GLD even as a trade. I work too hard for my money than to be totally blind to a possibility. Still playing there but not as much.
And I am not so sure the silver advantage over gold will not resume. Nothing solid, just a feeling.

ReplyDeleteI'm very much with you on the lessons learned. I was too complacent when we had that post-FOMC rally.
I wish I could find the link, but I have seen some pretty convincing TA that says silver corrects every time it gets 30-45% above 200DMA. That was a big red flag, but I was convinced the buying pressure was there to take it a little higher. It probably would have, too, but EE saw the opportunity to tip the scales and trigger the correction that was already overdue.
You're right, we have to learn to put ourselves in our opponent's shoes and see what they see.
Rule#8: Take some profits off the table on the way up. (I didn't follow it, but I won't make that mistake again.)
I am also going to be very leery of staying long over ANY weekend, at least when things are running hot like they were.
Just picked up 200 oz of Engelhard rounds called "The American Prospector" 1985 (sealed). 38 an oz and boy do I like this coin. Thanks Blythe. He still has 450 oz left.

Non-manipulated palladium's 2 year, 2 leg parabolic rise keeps suggesting to me what Ag might look like without the corrupt, exogenous forces distorting its chart, and what the timing of an uptrend resumption might be.
ReplyDeletePALL has only fallen 15% in the recent decline, versus the 26% drop it took in April-May 2010. The two similar declines took 4 weeks, then 5 weeks to a buyable double bottom, and the June 2010 PALL uptrend started 3 weeks after the double bottom:
http://finviz.com/futures_charts.ashx?t=PA&p=w1
PALL has already completed a double bottom, suggesting that above 700 a 3rd leg up could be starting now taking perhaps 3 weeks to break resistance at 800.
Just trying to find a "clean" long-term chart that might indicate true PM demand undistorted by federal-bankster corruption as is Ag's chart.
To winker. just one mans opinion.
ReplyDeleteA large component of luck, dont like parabolas, but had no idea it was going to be so fast and so violent. I sold the stock part of my pms at decent numbers, the physical is untouchable .
These stocks act very strange. Would i buy back today, not sure, probably see how good 33 is.
The lesson to me, and it rocked me, and others on this board of all this is that these regulators and policy makers are menacingly dangerous. It seems clear they were desperate, and five back to back margin hikes, this is simply criminal.
Why do i think they are so desperate? They must MUST MUST maintain some semblance of integrity in the fiat currency.Otherwise its game over, and silver through 50 would have gone berserk.
I also think we were/ are dealing with an informal undeclared corner in the physical silver market, that commenced with the 580 million PSLV issue in November. THis put the blood in the water since it tangibly exposed the fractional reserve silver racket. It took 3 months to deliver the bars to PSLV and they were NEW, fresh from the refinery, so where were the Comex inventories. Nonexistent evidently, at least in that kind of size.
We all owe that witless Jeffrey Christian a wet kiss for his slip of the tongue (saying they sold up to 100 ounces of paper silver for every ounce of actual phys) at the CFTC hearing a year ago March where the genesis of this incipient "corner" got some very well heeled people thinking that the Comex could be taken on. And so they were.
This caused no end of trouble, it caused this incredible policy response of the last few days.
But to go to such extraordinary lengths, it suggests to me that the American , not to mention TROW banking systems, are toast, i find it somewhat concerning, since it suggests to me there is NOTHING they would not do.
Do I know there was a corner attempt on silver . Not for sure. It looks like it was and very nearly succeeeded. . Will they try again? To me its sufficiently serious i might get a vest, and look both ways twice to cross the street.
I have had a big education the last few weeks, does silver break, say 30 to 32, who knows , I doubt it. This is a big game we are in here, with national security implications. The United States looks like its fighting for its very life.
Was all this coordinated with Trichet relenting, taking out Bin laden, Bernanke, Timmay, the whole international cast of crooks, including that rattesnake Chilton appearing on CNBC this am spouting his slick bullshit. This is a big game. Menacing.
TURD,
ReplyDeletewhy do you believe silver will rally in june... I find it interesting that you believe this and that martin armstrong has also stated that this may happen...
dont people usually sell in may and go diddle themselves for the summer??

Yeah, thanks buddy, that was great. I haven't checked them yet but saved yours and Eric's in a .txt file so that I can look them up when I plan to buy miners next. Wanted to thank you both on the original thread, but got to sleep and in the meantime there were about 3, 4 new threads, soo...
I would think that if Greece does leave the Euro Union that the U$D might see a temporary spike.
ReplyDeleteBut it would seem that a weak member leaving would make the Euro even stronger going forward.
Todays Euro weakness via Greece will be tomorrows Euro strength after Greece does finally leave and the positive Euro aspects are talked about after.
What a rollercoaster ride.

ReplyDeleteIn the days before Silver Eagles took over the market, The Engelhard Prospector was the #1 favorite coin out there. Still commands respect and good prices to this day. Congratulations.
Luvpms: silver will rally in June ahead of first delvery for the July contract. Regardless of this weeks action, the comex still only has 32mm ounces of silver.
ReplyDeleteThe action into the close and on the Globex today will be your "tell" for early next week. If down, you know that The Cartel was warned their friends that more margin hikes are coming, similar to last Friday's action.
If flat to up, Monday and Tuesday should be rally days.

It's close enough to the bottom for me.
But I just CANNOT get that stupid bubble chart out of my brain and it's driving me nuts.
TURD can you put my mind at ease? What is the probability this is a short lived bull trap before we plummet to $20-24 ?
Have you ever seen a piece of shit fly? It currently is!!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, metals down, the dollar on a short term ralley.. everything perfectly lining up for us to be sure this is the last snapback before SHTF.. and with SHTF I mean POSX at least down to 60, and silver at least to 70$ within months.
Thanks EE for removing the last bit of uncertainty from our trading decisions.

Like I said, just hold on tight to those Sovereigns like grim death. We'll be alright.
I said yesterday if stocks rallied on the employment report it would be a great chance to get out of silver, I was dead right and feel more strongly than ever now.
ReplyDeleteSilver is a leveraged bet on a strong US economy and weak USD.
Greece is about to default, could happen this weekend?
if so the dollar soars, stocks tank and silver collapses.
Too bad you won't listen but hey, I did my part.
Good luck.
Eric,
ReplyDeleteI was made to sleep on the sofa last night, but I'm feeling better today. We're not out of the woods yet. If we don't drop below $35 I'll probably be allowed back into the bedroom sometime early next week.
In the meantime my Henry "Heck-of-a-job, Hank!" Paulson US Mint Medal makes a great drink coaster and late night TV sucks.
Greece SHOULD withdraw from the EuroZone. EVERYBODY should withdraw from the EuroZone. That's my take.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eric. I appreciate that. I didn't know about this coin till today.
ReplyDeleteVamoose - that was a pretty good summation of what we're up against. They can always play the "national security" card to get away with blatant manipulation, outright theft and murder.
ReplyDeleteIt's good silver is consolidating.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS TURD .....does anyone know of an RSI alarm that goes off when the RSI goes below 30 ? i missed it again on the dip

ReplyDeleteTHis has the ring of truth to it, a weekend, Recall that Trichet shocked the EU, by unexpectedly NOT signalling that rate rise early this week.
Would he be in a position to know. Sure he would.
And if A Euro crisis were about to erupt then the other thing you do, is knife 100 dollars off of Gold and smash Silver.
And if Greece goes thats it for the whole Eurozone. Rubble.

Can you explain the why in regards to knifing gold and silver?
I heard if you play a country song backwards, you get your wife back, your truck motor runs, your dog comes home....
ReplyDeleteAaaand, I'm still glad I'm out with my main holding. Not so much because of the price movement in silver, but because being all in with AGQ just isn't/wasn't conducive to my happiness.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm in just enough to enjoy whatever profits are possible, but not enough that it could hurt in case we blow another fuse and get bombed downwards again. If everything stays pretty, I'll join the big run up next week in the re-test. Until then, I really couldn't be happier with some toes in and the other leg out. I should've done something about my money management earlier really, but I never got the point of it as long as I was heading upwards.
Turd,
ReplyDeleteYou are good. And The news about Greece is indeed a ruse.
Here's why; Greece is strategically important to the western world. Go and check to see why they have been invaded each and every major war, including WWI, WWII, etc. They happen to be in a geographic location by which we measure even our own location. Middle east; middle east of where? The West: West of where? The far East; far east of where? They got into the Eurozone because they are geographically important. Its long been said that in order to rule the world, one must first go through Greece. They will not get out now, not with all the crap going on next to them, in MENA. Don't fight the tape, but when the chance comes, BTFD!!!

Tough day in the trading pit.
ReplyDeleteCan't seem to catch it either way. Tried to short oil with SCO but missed my bid. It's like we all knew: every rally will be sold. Most likely scenario is not a v-shaped recovery. Could be a long consolidation.
SLV is looking like it's going red on us. Again.
Anybody want to talk me out of taking my Crown Royal bag to the coin shop and filling it up?

Still substantially above my core holding cost, but this looks pretty good to me. Thanks
Go Vincent, Go!
ReplyDeleteTF,
ReplyDeleteOn the charts I watch it looks like spot hit a low of around $33.05. A double bottom like you descibe would definitely make me much more confident about adding more physical. I just feel that based upon the fundementals you have already laid out for us that the second test down would probably not reach as far as the first but come in around $34.00 - $34.25. This is not a prediction just a hunch. When those levels are reached and then trade up I am off to exchange some fiat for real value. Have a great weekend everyone and good trading to all of you.
btw could greece leaving the euro mean the end of the euro as Lindsey Williams predicted, followed by 2 weeks before it would be the end of the dollar?

ReplyDeleteThe dollar will continue its long, slow decline, but to think it will disappear in 2 weeks is beyond ridiculous, sorry.
I will be buying silver below $20, sometime in the next 6 months, maybe next week, who knows, but it is going there.
I'd encourage EVERYONE to go back and reread the thread about the miners from Thursday. Many of them, and the HUI, look to have bottomed yesterday.
ReplyDeletehumahuaca,
ReplyDeletewell so this would be the big deflationary headfake we get before hyperinflation then I take it?
Don't look now but SLV just manage to hold an attempt of lower lows on the 60 minute chart and that shows the sellers are exhausting , now it needs little buyers to push it higher naturally.
ReplyDeleteLets see if the bulls left can keep this hourly bar green, looks good but still too volatile..

ReplyDeleteWe all bought these metals on the proposition that this whole thing comes apart one fine day. Trying to figure out the day was the problem.

ReplyDeleteCould be the deflationary headfake, or the real thing, wish I was smart enough to know.
All I know is, everything is about to crash, so best to be in cash, for a very short period.
Soon as the dust settles, I will be buying AUD, CAD, oil, and maybe some oil company stocks. Maybe gold and silver if the price is reasonable.

PM's catching a bit of flak from imaginary dollar strength, or rather, euro weakness. Few weeks ago, any selling in the euro would've been extremely short-lived, followed by an immediate spike back to where it was.
ReplyDeletePM's don't necessarily need to go up while this is going on. Treading some water would already show strength at this point. They'll probably join the upwards movement again as soon as traders realize they're selling euro's to buy dollars, confetti currency par excellence.
@shill
ReplyDeleteif silver gets to $20, the panic sellers will be dumping so much physical the real likelihood is I will be able to buy at $8.
But at that point I won't want it, no one will.
FWIW, I think waaaaay in the future gold will be above $5,000 maybe $10,000, who knows? But not yet. PMs are full of speculators and moms and pops. I have relatives rushing to the silver shops to sell their old silver flatware.
You should read the reuters story about silver refiners. There is a shortage of physical silver only because the refiners cannot melt the flatware fast enough. The sellers dwarf the sellers in the Hunt escapade.
But hey, if you are a true believer and don't mind holding silver for 10 or 20 years to break even, buy now.
My personal favorite miner is Yamana gold (Auy). They are a low cost producer with both gold and silver and have several more projects coming online over the next two years that they are paying out of existing cash flow. I own the stock and love the Jan 2013 $10 strike calls. It is currently at $11.86. This stock was much higher (almost $19) like three years ago when they acquired a couple of other gold companies. It has taken them some time to digest the acquisitions.
ReplyDeleteFrom a rank chart amateur:
ReplyDeleteI am looking at the spot silver on netdania, daily chart. My time frame was July 1, 2011, to the present.
I drew in a line from the low of August 23, 2011 to the low of March 24, 2011. I just wanted to get a simple trend line view, and that seemed to be about right.
Then, I pulled up the RSI study.
Looking at the RSI swings from July to August, I note that the RSI sort of oscillated around the 50, with no real big moves either way up or down. Why not, I wondered?
Then, looking at the RSI from the time frame Aug. 23 2011 to the present, I look at the RSI and I see huge variations to the upside hitting 83.6 on Oct. 3, then all the way back down to 32 on January 24, 2011.
This was followed by 79 on Feb. 20, back down to a new low of 29.7 on May 4.
So, looking at it simply, here is the question: Why is there more volatility since August 2010?
Maybe there is a logical explanation, some event, or series of logical actions based on some objective happening, as opposed to speculation or cynical market shenanigans?
Um, it seems so obvious, to me. Forgive me for being a rube, naive, simple minded. But . . .
Did the QE in Aug 2010 have anything to do with the huge volatility swings?
Then, looking at volume, since mid Dec. 2010, there has been pretty steady volume around 500,000 since the start of 2011, but suddenly, right at the top of the parabolic intermediate top, on April 27 2011 or so, volume nearly doubles! Price drops near vertically, on huge volume even topping 1,000,000!!
It is so obvious that the last raid was coordinated manipulation. There is no doubt in my mind.
So, the only question I have now, is what's next? A return to the normal volume of just under 500,000 on the daily chart? A return to the RSI between 40-56,000? If so, then would silver spot then necessarily, from a fundamental view, tend to want to return to its normal trend line following QE 1?
Then, when the Fed starts QE3, won't the trend line do the same thing as it did from August 2010 until now, including having hellacious volatility and obvious manipulation?
I think so, so physical is untouchable, and BTFD!
Just my $0.02

@ Waffen:
ReplyDelete"Our banking system is still heavily interweaved with the europe one. "
Yes indeed. A crappy little bank like Lehmans goes down and the world almost ends. It's still on life support, actually. Yet some people think that a major crisis in the Euro is going to be an opportunity for a stronger dollar? Really? All the US banks will be just as bust as the European ones via the web of derivatives and cross holdings that ties them all together, the Fed will be printing literally trillions to try and keep Wall St. showing a pulse and paper assets will go up in value?
I think not.
If the SHTF in Europe, then the effect on the Global economy will be Lehmans X1,000,000 the main difference being that it will not be possible to keep the fiat system intact this time. The problems will be way to large.

Just sayin'
....When we consistently see this type of fiscal monetisation, one realises that real-adjusted targets for silver of $142, admittedly an outlier price associated with precursory signatures before a crash, will be surpassed. This is because, in reality, as John William's Shadow Government Statistics points out, $490 silver is the real outlier high. That leaves a lot of price discovery in between, and after years of price controls we are seeing the swift correction to these controls.

ReplyDeleteFor a trader you have an awful lot of free time to post.
The conditions that support the thesis here for an eventual retest or at least support seem to be coming a bit undone and so I wonder how valid the idea is. The dollar has just put in a bigger bounce than expected and silver has slid way further than expected. AS well silver is a huge laggard to gold indicating little support or more downside to come.

A "Euro" collapse only strengthens the $US in terms of the other fiat. Don't forget, Europeans buy precious metals also! It will be fun to watch the PMs rally their arses off along with the illusion of the $US rally. Once the "Euro" goes, and it will, there will be no other choice except for the US to begin their bailout more in the open-that's when we can see the $100+ gains in gold daily. Interesting times!!

@humahuaca:
ReplyDeleteWhat you are seeing in the scrap market is the transfer of physical wealth from the have-nots to the haves. Three years ago, Cash4Gold was advertising on the Superbowl and sucking up huge amounts of scrap gold from desperate people. Since then, the price of gold has not exactly crashed from all that supply, has it?
The people that are selling their scrap silver right now are not the well off looking to cash in on grandma's forks and knives. They are the unemployed, underemployed, or retired struggling to buy groceries and gasoline. They are, in essence, already living in the "mad-max" scenario trading physical PMs for the ability to feed and shelter themselves. Meanwhile, the rest of us are buying it up while we can, so that it can feed and shelter us when the "mad-max" scenario comes to our home.

Mmm, I like spooning. I prefer being the big spoon, but every now and then after long weeks such as this one it's OK for the man to be the little spoon. Sometimes if you're lucky, you get to be the middle spoon. That's what I call hitting the jackpot.
ReplyDeleteStill hesitant to hop back in to miners, but seeing as how it looked like they were starting to bottom on Wednesday I decided to pick up a few shares of GPL today, this $ has been burning a hole in my pocket all week. Looking to add one more before closing, Endeavor or Revett.

_____________________
That was my point, the money had to go somewhere. If you look at the daily chart, volume and RSI, money started pouring into silver in late August 2010. Silver went from $18 to $24, before a slight sell off in mid October, then just kept chugging higher. Volatility swings began oscillating higher and higher.
Look at April 20, 2011, RSI was at 87, then on May 4, it bottoms at 29. Look at that spread! That is extreme volatility, based on huge volumes.
I drew in the trend line, just eyeballing it, basically, and if silver just trended uphill in normal fashion, silver would be at approx. $41.00 on its way higher.
I am not sure that euro bank will collapse just yet. I give the powers that be more credit than that for now. A sovereign default? That is more likely, but again, that will be avoided by TPTB at all costs, for now.

ReplyDeleteRe: "I guess reuters is in on the big conspiracy too, lol. "
"To better understand this on-going tyranny of capital we also need to know how, from near-absolute power over the people’s finances, the House of Rothschild and others moved on to control, and enclose, our media and information supply. As Kent Cooper, a former head of Associated Press, noted "international bankers under the House of Rothschild acquired an interest in the three leading European [news] agencies." The Rothschild group purchased Reuters in London, Havas in France, and Wolf in Germany to monopolize the news creation nexus and information-dissemination business in Europe and around the world. Today's global corporate media empire is simply an extension of this trend to control information and assure capital's propaganda remains both dominant and ubiquitous."
http://www.publiccentralbank.com/
Reuters owns Associated Press from my understanding, as the network CEO's are all apart of the CFR and other "elite" meetings.
So, in short yes, Reuters is in on it too.
For what it's worth, practically every time I've been to a coin shop for the past month, there's been someone in there trying to sell a box full of sterling flatware. 9 times out of 10 they are told sorry, it's plated and they go home disappointed. FWIW. Not trying to agree or disagree with anything, just saying what I been seeing in the shops.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you that suggesting a shortage of silver is due only to junk refinery capacity is retarded (assuming it's not simply trollish).
If reports that refiners of junk silver are unable to keep up with demand are true, then that would indicate that these refiners are maxed out — i.e. they're likely releasing more silver into the marketplace than normal.
humahuaca: ...There is a shortage of physical silver only because the refiners cannot melt the flatware fast enough... ...
...is about as useful as stating that there is a shortage of silver only because the miners can't mine it fast enough.
Interesting Fact. Although most of us see silver
ReplyDeleteas the 'no brainer' pm of choice, have just been perusing the long term kitco charts. From yk2 to now, gold in round terms has gone from 300 - 1500 bucks, a 5 bagger. Silver, with all its shenanigans, has gone from 6 bucks to 36 (an
hour ago or thereabouts), therefore..... a 6 bagger. Are we masochists or something ? I bought in at 44.70 at around 9am gmt, felt clever for a few hours, now not so sure. My
investor gut says 28-33, my trader gut said 44.70 might be ok. Thats why I'll never be Jim Rogers, with a 30 year plan and a 30 minute plan, and a lot of plans in between. Halfwits often find a telescope more use than a microscope.

Once the various futures markets adjust to the new Margin Hike regime, which is clearly targeted to keep commodity prices down, this will only serve to create more volatility and possibly even hoarding--as large global players will only be too happy to swoop in and buy Wheat, Corn, Gasoil, and metals during the downspikes. The policy complex knows that commodity inflation is their biggest challenge now, as they soldier on with reflationary policy. Because they don't understand commodities, they really do believe that getting speculative action out of the markets will improve things. It won't. It will only deprive prices of available information.
ReplyDeleteIt's ironic that after centuries of market history, humans still think that having fewer--rather than more--participants will force more accurate pricing.
One last beatdown for the weekend! Unreal. Let's hope we can find some coinshops that have some inventory. BTW - There are a few guys here in California that will order AE's at spot plus a few bucks.

I bought from Bullion Vault which has ASE's right now for $38.75. They also have a bullion trading exchange, and an IRA bullion plan. Free storage & relatively low shipping. Worth checking out.
My overall strategy here is to invest in the JR miners, periodically take some profit & re-invest that into physical PM's & more shares of CEF.
I’m also watching Maganese, Lithium, Potash, NatGas & Rare Earths.
I'm long patience & short the EE!

ReplyDeletelol
Getting more and more convinced that the margin hikes and Greek coverage is a blatant attempt to subdue the visible effects of inflation as QEII ends, rates threaten to rise and markets threaten to tumble. This will take away the fears of inflation associated with easing and open the door to QEIII being accepted.

Will be interesting to see how the algos trade 3:00 to 3:30.
ReplyDeleteDid we see the Mondays CME hike priced in today or will we see more crap for the beginning of next week?
ReplyDeletei remember in 08 when silver plunged to 8-9 bucks from 21 and me & a buddy scoured the land to find da physical, we bought & bought, get this......... between 12-13.50 per oz , which would equate 2 an approximate 50% markup or starting in the hole down 50%, any logical financial planner or any other financial type guru i'm sure would have had some nice adjectives to describe our genius move, my buddy called me 2 days ago and said lets get goin again we r ony buyin at max 10% premium...he who has ears 2 hear....and balls 2 make the move......cheers

vamoose,
ReplyDeleteOk I can fully agree with that. knockdown silver so when it shoots back up, its getting back to the position from which you knocked it.
agreed
the media wont talk about silver as it goes up, now that they immolated it on the way down. sheep will be non the wiser.
I like how they ban shorts on SLV, but then also on ZSL (which is a loaded short). Combined with the margin hikes, you have complete parody. Have a good weekend TF, thanks for the guidance in this crazy week.

ReplyDeleteSorry, I meant 34.70 at 9am gmt. Freudian slip.
ReplyDeleteOk, taking my argument another step. If gold is the jumbo jet and silver the harrier jet that needs refuelling all the time, their speed over the long haul is the same (conjecture).
Silver is mostly a biproduct metal, as we know, but gold largely isnt. Silver miners have much higher margins per ounce, but much smaller profits per ounce, a zero sum gain. BUT. There are ten times more gold juniors than silver juniors. That means more choice, and more profit to be made picking the right ones. Having been in SAC and losing 50 per cent due to Bolivian political risk, I dont like making the same mistake over and over and over. Maybe Mexico is 'safe', maybe it isnt. Where things dont get any safer is the Yukon. There is a very strong chance that a new 'Carlin trend ' is unfolding. Ie 200m plus gold ounces. One company there is a 35 bagger in the last 18 months. I'm hoping it'll be a 3 bagger this year, and maybe again next, and along with some of its neighbours as well. Doesnt matter if gold is 1400 or 1800, they'll still do well. Dont go for the 'penny' yukon stocks - too much risk. Look for the ones that have only been drilling a year or two, but have already got some holes with very good grades - that way you're not just buying into a hole in the ground. Not as much fun as options, perhaps, but a very viable alternative especially for newbies and halfwits.
I'm selling silver miners and buying companies that hold silver cutlery in stock. Chinese PM refiners will be making takeover bids any day now. M&A, people, M&A.

ReplyDeleteYa held on this long. How ya going to feel if you let go and we are higher all next week. Turd says we may test the 33 again and that is where to buy. You could let go half and try and buy lower next wk. Tough call but you held on this long. Turd has be right on these metals so I am prepared to buy again at 33. Probably go home flat but I am not adverse to paying up if I have to.
@ huimacho cho or whatever the fk your name is
aren't you late for a circle jerk somewhere. Better get a move on.
Anyone know the silver/gold backed currency bill that is discussed in this video. I would like to look it up and read it over

"My personal belief, no support or links to give, is that 75% of all the sterling flatware that ever existed was melted down in 1980."
ReplyDeleteSame here. I can't remember the last time I saw flatware that wasn't just plated since the 1970's and 1980's.
