Surviving Monday

Well I don't know about you but I, for one, am glad to have this day behind us. Ever since The Sunday Night Silver Massacre, Mondays have made me very nervous. Things certainly didn't look too rosy this morning with the euro getting crushed, the dollar rallying and WOPR in charge. Fortunately and as hoped, humans reclaimed the market and the metals trended higher virtually all day with both putting rather impressive mini-FUBMs on their intraday charts. With this day behind us, we can begin to look forward toward the rest of this week.

Here's a 2-hour gold chart.  It looks very good. You've got the spike down to a panic low of 1462 about 15 days ago. A snapback rally was followed by seven trading days of a beautiful looking base between 1475 and 1515. It now appears to be breaking higher and ready to take its first stab at 1525. Because that level is so technically significant, I have a hard time imagining that it will break through in its first attempt. Maybe some "news" will help it but I think it's more likely to fail at 1525 and then take a day or two to regroup between there and 1515. Then, after that pause, the next attempt at 1525 should carry enough momentum to blast through and send gold on a trajectory to take on 1545.
Silver continues to get its act together but doesn't seem quite ready yet to move as strongly higher as gold. Again, the technical and psychological damage done to the silver market was great and it's going to take a while for enough convicted money to return to move things substantially higher. Nevertheless, the open interest and the CoT report leads us to believe that there should now be more buyers than sellers in the silver market and this alone will help silver firm up and drift higher in the coming days. Where gold has 1525 to conquer, silver has 36.50 so silver clearly has a lot of work to do to catch up.

One last thing, Gonzalo Lira has decided to convert his site to a subscription service. Here's the announcement:

Given the current, unprecedented economic conditions, those attempting to manage significant portfolios should give his service a look.

Have a great day and evening. More sometime soon. TF

    Bullion might have done well enough today but the miners sure underperformed. GDX down .75%, GDXJ down 3%, SLW down 1.89%, EXK down 3.3%.

    Hopefully not telegraphing a fall tomorrow.

    atlee:

    The London PM Fix starts at 3pm but does not generally conclude until 3:30-ish. It often varies by up to 15 minutes either way depending on how long the participants take to agree a market clearing price.

    If you want to know exactly when the fix is complete, you should check the LBMA website www.lbma.org.uk and you will see the latest fix prices updated when the process is finalised.

    The SLV daily chart is showing a tight handle on a volume dry up. I like it. Typically handles that form in the bottom half of the retracement pattern a very suspect and prone to failure. However, this one may be SO low that the arguement could be made that it is part of the bottom forming and not a real handle on the right side of the base.

    Gold is strong like bull.

    @sp,

    If you're going to trade grains, best to trade the leader which is corn. That is the market with the story. I trade futures but have had ETF CORN and JJG in my IRA. JJG is corn, beans, and wheat. There are others. Wheat and beans will follow if corn takes off. Not predicting this, but corn has the potential of a blowoff, depending on weather. There is also considerable downside risk. If long, use stops or buy OTM puts for downside protection.

    Planting progress 79% complete, with IN and OH behind. Should be friendly. Corn, like gold, held up well despite crude down and dollar strength.

    Not sure we get a good chance to buy the corn market. I got out last week and should have kept half a position. Will be looking a get long again tonight.

    It seems to me that the EE met their objectives to squash Silver, in order to squash gold, in order to squash commodities, in order to set the rest of the global markets up for QE3. Also additionally, to get the prices down to cover lots of shorts. So, I would not be especially afraid of Mondays just because the Euro was tanking as this plays into the desired overall scheme of things they are trying to achieve, which is QE3. It is absolutely essential to convince the world of this necessity if the whole house of cards is not to collapse.

    So, what is the EE objective for metals options expiry starting Wednesday and Thursday? Will they try to take it down further, or have they got it where they want it for now. I have noticed lately that they they do their takedowns sometimes as early as a week and keep it suppressed until the targeted expiry date passes. Notice how the volumes keep drifting lower back into the normal range that was common before the massive run-up in silver. I think volume indicates that they have achieved their objectives for now. Maybe the first of June will see some upside action for the PM's, baring some unforeseen catastrophic event, like a total collapse of the global financial system, that might take them lower.

    I think the divergence today of precious metals from oil, stocks, and dollar index is an extremely bullish sign. I hope this continues because the fundamentals demand logically that this be the case. Today was rational based upon logic and the fundamentals. Lets hope it continues. I am sick of these market manipulations and interventions and cannot wait to see the EE collapse and lose control. But, I am always mindful that we have too many times been disappointed and underestimated their power to keep this insane house of cards standing for one more day.

    Thanks Turd for your brilliant analysis and good luck to all.

I do t want you to burn out and quit out of the same economic frustration. I wonder if there is a way to have the new site be free but add a premium service for $10 or $20 per month. Not sure what would be free and what would be premium but it is just a thought. I, for one, would gladly pay for your insight. Better than any broker advice I've ever gotten for which I paid handsomely. Love the site!!!

    The Great Depression was a big lie perpetuated by and for the paper aristocracy. This man has my respect for the emotion he writes with. He passed suddenly in December 2010 :O. Wonder why his website would mention suddenly :(

    Regardless,

    Stunning line at the end:

    "We can see the same kind of media lies today. You all know that in every village and hamlet today there are pharmacies telling you to get your flu shot. First, the government is involved because it pays the vaccine companies (an outrageous sum) for the vaccine. Second, in 2009 there was a campaign of lies in which the predicted swine flu for 2010 was wildly exaggerated and called a pandemic (a made up word). Not only did the pandemic fail to happen, flu deaths for 2010 are running one-third normal. That is, there was no problem, but instead of investigating the waste of money we are simply getting more lies to get rid of the last batch of flu shots which the public refused to take. Third, the vaccine itself is dangerous, containing mercury and aluminum, and it is far more likely that more people were killed by the vaccine than were ever saved by it. (My mother was killed by an earlier-day flu campaign and shot, which gave her a heart attack and led to her death.) I call this to your attention to illustrate just how naïve and gullible the average person is and how incapable of acting in their own self interest.

    America was not this way for the period 1776-1929, but it is now. This is the world into which you were born. Those who see reality as it is have a chance, but this is a small minority."


    Please take a read if you get a chance. This man's work has calmed me for some reason. I love the passion he writes with.

    Simone, I read that article and the author is an idiot. He was both right and [very fundamentally] wrong in his very first two sentences: "Gold is not an investment. It’s a speculation." It's not an investment; it's money.

    Due to that basic misunderstanding, the rest of his article is mostly complete bullshit. Sorry...

    Ginger, everyone wakes up at their own pace. I won't fault you for respecting Mr. Beck if you don't fault me for understanding that almost every bit of truth he provides comes in a very flavorful and sometimes palatable bullshit wrapper. There's a reason for this, of course, but I won't get into that here. In the meantime, keep stacking. ;-)

    I am hopeful that Mr. Turd's new site will contain some sort of repository of TTLAs and FFLAs. It would make the site much more meaningful for some of us that come here for an education.

    My perspective: After recovering from the financial disaster that was my first marriage I decided to finally take control of my finances. For several years I've been stacking physical. In recent months I've been moving rollover IRAs into PMs...mostly Canadian funds. While I don't need my wife's permission to invest, I want her to understand what we're doing. I think that I've got her 'buy in' by telling her what to expect. In other words, quoting Turd's forecast to her. Turd makes me sound like I know what I'm doing. While I'm a long term holder (as in PM insurance), Turd's prognostications have helped me with multiple entry points. I am deeply indebted to the wonderful service he provides.

    be careful spreading the anti-vaccine meme.

    you have to realize the amount of research that has gone into vaccinations...they are one of few modern medical innovations that have proved fruitful, the other being soap and water as disinfectant.

    if you have had the pleasure of practicing medicine in a country that does not have access to vaccinations, you will be shocked how little most people actually know about the diseases that it has prevented.

    if you take the doctors who have practiced medicine in both america and a third world country and filter that by those who are well-versed in vaccination research, you will find that their kids prob have near 100% vaccination rates.

    u may say this is b/c they (doctors) are already brain-washed but i think u would be very wrong about the due diligence put towards this subject.

    not trying to be a hater but it is scary that this is what most wealthy adults have decided for their kids! (also an amazing show of how if something is repeated by the MSM enough, sheeple will believe it)

    The problem with so many people like that NY Times blog writer and the guy yesterday predicting silver reverting back to it's 'normal' value of $5 in a few years is that they see the Dollar as a constant, unchangeable store of value.

    Everything in their lives is measured in Dollars, and they cannot comprehend that it can possibly lose value. Or accept that it IS losing value, daily. From their perspective it is the price of gas or food or gold or silver that has gotten too high. In time this foolishness must pass and the price of silver must go back to $5, and gas under $1, and a loaf of bread back to 69 cents.

    It is going to be a real shock to many people when the Dollar starts going the way of the late 70's - 1980's Mexican Peso.

    ok Simone, so you posted that to tell us what crap the New York Times publishes. Most of us already know that and do not read that pile of nonsense. Thank you anyways, but I should have noticed where the article came from before wasting my time. I do not need to know what the banking cartel shills write, it's always bullsh*t anyways.

    Ginger, you could never get banned here. You are one of the founding members. While we may not always agree with what you have to say, we are all learning.

    Turd, I too like most of what Glen Beck has to say, but remember when he was working for Fox News, he was being controlled by the power that control everything else, the banks. I think he was fired because he went too far in revealing the truth. I remember times when he was nothing more than a shill for the same power that we despise as was Bush, sock puppets. Anything by anyone in the mainstream media has to be questioned. I can remember when Glen Beck thought that 911 truthers should be rounded up and put into concentration camps. I will never forgive him for that blunder and treasonous disrespect for the constitution and our first amendment rights. However, giving him the benefit of the doubt and a second chance, in light of his great improvements would be rational at this point. We shall see.

    It's nice, but limited to only a single equity issue. I wonder if it would be enlightening to examine the futures options max pain, and compare or aggregate it with SLV and the other Ag ETFS.

    @Scott,

    At one time vaccines may have had a benefit, however, lately like most everything else "Big Pharma" creates, and big anything does, we have to be suspect. It is well documented the dangers and perils of modern vaccines especially since "Big Business" and "Big Government" are merged in this fascist corporate police state. In essence Scott, you are absolutely correct and all who venture the use of vaccines needs to rethink and research anew the safety of this corporate vehicle of death.

    I was not trying to talk about vaccines, I do have an opinion on the matter but it is just my opinion. I was sharing the article, and the reference to vaccines uses the premise that vaccines are not helpful. If this was to be true, then his premise of people being not smart enough to figure out their own naiveness would be quite an accurate example.

    We can further dicuss on the new forums, but let's keep the conversation away from these types of stream of consciousness while using this format. I chose a poor quote to help keep the conversation on topic, please help me in not continuing it for now.

    With so much need for silver in industry, it seems to me that its going to be impossible for silver to reach highs over $60-$80/oz. Nobody using silver for their products are going to pay for $80 silver knowing its only going to increase the production price and have a higher MSRP tag on it at best buy. These products with silver in them are only going to get higher in price, and people are not going to buy it. If nobody buys it, industry will be forced to find an alternative metal that can perform almost as well as silver, but wont last as long, therefore people wont buy them knowing they are made of shit. This will cause all silver mines to explode at full force in order to increase the above earth quantities of silver, in turn lowering the price of silver to a more manageable price. Silver is in a "Catch 22" right now, and will be for awhile, at least until it is proposed that silver really is money by the masses, and does not get used for any industry. Gold is money. Its a fact. After seeing the manipulation of silver on May 1st/May 2nd, and NOBODY fixing this problem (and they wont), I have no choice but to sell all of my physical at current prices, and convert all profits to pure gold. I am going to wait until the end of summer before doing this, and will continue to keep stacking the devils metal, and if this market doesn't accept that Silver is Money, I will be forced to trade it, like fiat currency, for true time-tested Gold.

    I don't see industrial use of silver collapsing at $80 or some such price. Sure, the industrial users would like to get it for $5 oz, but in most cases where they are using silver instead of copper it is because they need the special properties of silver.

    In the case of electronics like cell phones the amount in each device is in the micrograms. The added cost per unit is not that great, and their competitors have to pay the same price. Higher prices will make them use it more efficiently, but they will still use it.

    At the other end of the equation, mines cannot just crank up production at will. It takes time and huge capital expenditures to increase production. Also, resources get depleted and new ones are difficult to find. These metals are precious because they are relatively scarce.

    I think they will both do well as a store of value to protect against depreciating paper. Both have been used as money during long periods of history. I like having both, and I am buying silver here.

    There is no reason it has to be one or the other. I would be buying silver at this price rather than selling. 3 weeks ago was the time to be a seller, not now.

With harvest upon us, we should be sellers, but not me, I don't want to be short this market. Wheat should follow corn, so I'm just trading corn.

    Good morning (evening) from Asia!

    I've read Trinity B's comment on Screwtape. I think this taps on a common theme I've seen on so many Precious Metal blogs, i.e. gullibility.

    Are you ready to believe an unmasked, unknown internet poster called "Trinity B" or "Wynter Benton"?

    So please consider Trin's post as entertainment only. TF himself points this out on his own blog - and I'd rather 'trust' his forecasts than most others. DO NOT base trade decisions on them. That's foolishness.

    As for the action, I too am glad to ride out Monday. Gold is basically countering/tracking POSX but has limited upside due to broad commodity market weakness. Silver is even more encumbered by this weakness. So any further weakness or strength in other commodities would give a respective directional move for both metals in the short-term. Simple.

    For Silver to move up with vigor, Gold must help since optimal short term GSR needs to be settled - 45?

    For those tracking EURUSD movements, updates from Dow Jones newswires:

    1. 2330 GMT [Dow Jones] The EUR/USD is under pressure and looks likely to probe downside having fallen through key support at 1.4030-1.4050, says Greg Gibbs, head of currency strategy at RBS, Australia. He says the market seems more intent on selling the pair this time, having ignored European debt woes before when it was more fashionable to focus on low U.S. interest rates. He says the retreat may not be rapid, but the current leg downward appears likely to extend a little while longer.

    2. 2325 GMT [Dow Jones] The EUR/USD may test a break of 1.4000 again after having fallen below that level briefly Monday, as traders in Asia continue to trim their holdings of the risk-sensitive common currency amid renewed concerns over the global economy and the flare-up in euro-zone sovereign debt problems, says Hideaki Inoue, senior FX dealer at Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking. Inoue says any breach of the 1.4000 level could add to the pair's downside, possibly opening the way to 1.3900 in coming sessions. The EUR/USD is at 1.4024. "With the Greece problem front and center again, we're probably likely to see the downward correction in the euro-dollar continue."

    And in a reflection of the throwing out of standard technical evaluators of currencies:

    0126 GMT [Dow Jones] Fed Bullard says that Fed will likely maintain its near-zero rate policy for an "extended period," in a remark that would normally be negative for the USD. But the potential impact is drowned out by the din over renewed euro-zone debt woes, says Motonari Ogawa, senior FX dealer at Barclays Capital.

    "The renewed attention on Europe means the focus just isn't on the interest rate issue now." As long as the problems for Greece and other fiscally troubled euro members appear to be mounting, the USD is likely to remain in an uptrend against the common currency, he adds.

    J's response is correct. I will add just three things (1) Read Michael Maloney's book. He speaks exactly to this on page 137, (2) Read the definition of a commercial signal failure (CSF) as to what happens when there is a sudden shortage of an industrial commodity, and (3) Most (75%) silver does not come from primary silver mines. It is a bi-product of other metals mining. Even if we assume there is more ore to be gotten, who is going to quadruple there lead mining operation to get another few tons of silver?

    Rick is right, you need a better understanding of the fundamentals.

    I didn't end up buying EUR today, but I did buy a lot of CAD.

    (I feel better buying CAD as I will eventually live there and have to buy it somewhere.)

    Clearly pressure is on EUR/USD, but we didn't even make a half assed attempt at 76.75 on the DXY...so I am increasingly comfortable with the idea of selling my USD position down on rallies.

    I'll still think about buying EUR at 1.39 to 1.38, but in the end I will probably play safe and stick to CAD.

    My theme remains the same, absence of bad news means stocks and metals rebound, and the dollar falls back.

    It seems pretty clear though that we sure won't be seeing 1.50 anytime soon in the euro, and in fact very likely the dollar bottom is in for the near future (3 to 6 months?).

    (I am trading for the very short term and just hope to catch 1% swings.)

    If Euro breaks down and heads for 1.34 I'd be extremely happy and would sell out the rest of my USD.

    Medium term I see 1.36 to 1.46 as the range.

    We should see continued weakness in stocks and the euro overnight, as the NA market trends are almost always blindly followed, but by tomorrow afternoon I hope to be selling may CAD again, and maybe some SDS puts too.

    I think that Glenn means well and he seems like a die hard patriot. When he was on CNN (way before I was even remotely knowledgeable about anything), I used to remember occasionally watching his show and used to think that he was much much better than the other guys on tv. The problem is that he, like a most of us, isn't perfect, is susceptible to believing nonsense and gets some of his information from unreliable sources. I don't think he's an asshole, just passionate and misinformed regarding a lot of things.

It scared me to read it, because it makes the case that since silver is used in industry (and the military, for that matter), the price will never be allowed to breach the $60 level. Can it really be, that we'll never see silver going beyond even $50 (and if it does, it will be crashed by the cartel again?) Is there any use in being a long-term silver investor? Here's the comment:

    "With so much need for silver in industry, it seems to me that its going to be impossible for silver to reach highs over $60-$80/oz.

    I would also like to say that I am not the nimble day trader some may think. Pailin boasts that success. Occasionally I can daytrade but not in the silver mkt as of late. Not enough range or clairity for me lately.

    I bought a small postion in gold an silver today because I like what I see in the technicals, stochastics turning with definable risk. Definable risk meaning nearby moving averages and bollinger bands. I think silver can go to 38 and gold toward 1525 to 30. If it gets through there then 1550 - 56.

    I also think that any rally in the stock indexes tomorrow is probably a sale. That mkt looks like it is now in a downtrend. (lower highs and lower lows.

    Ricky, I don't mind answering. I’m a financial analyst by day (desk job), but a country boy in the evening… horses and some land… stuff like that, and a weekend warrior when it comes to sports. I’m an avid volleyball player, also used to play a lot of softball when I had more time. Bottom line is that I am active and I am in, and was in, very good physical condition. My Doctors flat out told me my overall condition is what helped pull me through. They said an elderly person or a physically weak person would not have made it.

    I got the flu back in 2003 when that bad strain was going around. Something went radically wrong inside of me. But fortunately I live in an area with excellent hospitals and they pulled me through. The whole experience helped teach me just how human I am. As for getting vaccines I think that should be a personal choice. But the thought of seeing one of my young kids or my wife going through what I went through… having a machine breathe for me and all… it’s a horrible thought that I can’t describe. We all now get the flu shot each year. And when I exercise now, I tell myself that I’m not doing it for me, but for them – to keep myself strong.

    Ditto those not at all ready for the matrix to be shown to them. Or to see it themselves. Those DUD's (dumb unto death) had the nasty habit of shape shifting into an Agent on the spot if they saw, heard (or I guess read) anything that didn't conform.

    So I guess they'd really blow a fuse seeing this then. Of course, just who is this world famous Dr. Sherri Tenpenny to speak on this topic compared to the much esteemed and deeply learned humahuaca? You'll probably want to check with him (her?) to see if this content has been Asshole Approved.

    I enjoyed Gonzalo Liras blog, but will not be paying a monthly fee to continue to do so. Lets remember, yes the blog host puts in a lot of time to keep a blog up and running as well as keeping his or hers readers interested. And no disrespect to our fine host, but most of the time the real info is in the community itself. The readers and posters are the true knowledge that keeps a blog functioning. So we all learn from one another and that is what makes a strong community ( The Host is the Brick and the posters are the Mortar ). If one desires to make money of off commentary, well start a News Paper.

    Just my 2 cents, and Turd thank you for all you do, and thank you for the update sir.

    Northern Border, I watched it too and for the first time I think TV/HBO has under-dramatized a drama. I have to think it was a little more dramatic in real life. Maybe it wasn't. I don't know which scares me more, Hank Paulson was the only one to throw up or the big 9 banks needed to be reminded that the whole system is connected like dominoes and they better take the deal. Had to be dumbed down for mass consumption. Surely it didn't go down like that right? Tell me it didnt!

I hope the masses that only watch television understood that part because we are in worse shape now than three years ago. Additionally it made him look like a good guy.

    WTI is down. Expect PM to drift sideways tomorrow. Opportunity to buy silver at $34.5 to $35. Great conditions for scalpers.

    I am not as worried with POSX having impact on PM. Current POSX strength is derived from EURO tanking. Looking at the past 10 years, POSX doesn't necessary mean PM tanking. Correlation is weak.

    POSX Observation:
    Someone is trying to build a base on 50 day DMA. Expect a push for 100 day DMA on POSX. Crude will get slammed continuously while trying to breakthrough $100.

    @atlee
    Bro, you give me too much credit. I only had one really good call last week riding that V down then back up.And those opportunities are usually easy to spot, at least the ride back up. Earlier in the week and so far this week, I've had really weak shorts that I've only been able to get out of profitably by dollar cost averaging.

    The bull is definitely getting ready to run. If today follows last Tuesday, we should get a dip mid morning (11am-noon) to 34.50 or so, then make a nice climb today/tomorrow to 36.50, not sure what the resistance will be there. I don't know what the shorts and the need to cover look like at this point. Maybe a small retrace back to mid/high 35s, then more of a push forward? Turd's predictions are looking pretty good.

    I'm flat right now, will put on longs on solid dips, done shorting (for the near term). My initial target is to clear longs at 36.50 area, reload on dip (no shorting down!), then clear again at 39.50.

    You can always miss out on a climb when u want to go bull, but i rather miss out on some cash then actually making a wrongfully placement of money and lose a lot. I too sold yesterday with a very small profit after being way under my entrypoint the whole day and that didn't felt good, got out and waited for it to stabilize and what happens, it takes off, always does ;)

    Those early morning (for us in USA) shorts haven't been working as well of late. There may be a short opportunity right now, but it might take a few hours to play out, or it might not. The risk/reward looks like as small a move as down 20 cents or so all the way to down 1 dollar, but that 20 cents is too tight for me to short, just not very profitable. The long looks like the place to be...just look for a dip (shallow as it may be?) that seems like it's petering out and then jump in with the buy.

    Hey Pailin, good early mornin greets.
    Well, I just put in a ridiculously tight stop for myself which closed just under break even. Call it a jackpot spin.

    @Thias: Options expiry day usually brings about a small sale. So better entry points may present themselves. Just don't go wishing for some deep dives though. The metals seems to be in the mood for good bids today.

    Patience usually has its rewards. It is also usually the most difficult to master.

  150. pailinMay 24, 2011 at 5:54 AM

    @JoeKa
    Tough to play short near resistance. It either breaks through or falls. All the charts have me agree with you that a short is appropriate, but if it, for some reason, breaks through that resistance at 35.75...there's a good 75 cent run up ahead to 36.50.

    Check out the 1hr chart from 16th-18th, I think we're in the beginning of that pattern replaying itself. BTFD and enjoy the 1-2 dollar run up.

    Patience is really hard to master yes but I get better each day. Greed has kicked me in the nuts a few times this month aswell so it too is hard to master haha. I let today play out and i'll se if a jump on the train, but if TF 36,5 is going for real then i'll be having a hard time not puching that buy button, even if the price is way higher in a few hours. Time will tell.

    ReplyDelete
  152. pailinMay 24, 2011 at 6:05 AM

    We're peaking on Bollingers and RSI for every chart shorter than the 8hr. So expect a dip sometime this morning, because the only other way that works itself out is if we trade sideways for a long time and the averages over time bring the levels down. Volatility in silver means a violent dip is more likely. But just because you wouldn't buy here, doesn't mean you have to sell here :)

    Read Reminiscences of a Stock Operator if you haven't yet. There's a lot of good stuff in there re: patience. I'm still working on that myself. I've lost a lot less this month on stupid small trades than in previous, all because I've been employing greater patience. Wait for the fat pitches and swing for the fences. Again, we should be getting that opportunity in the next several hours. Same as last Tuesday.

    I have a quandry.

    I have some $35 SLV Jun calls that I've held onto through the recent rough patch and hope to show some profit on today.

    My question is, should I close them out today and then use that to go for $35 July calls?

    The extra time seems like a good idea, but finding a good point to do the switch over will be a challenge.

    I might just wait till we get towards Turd's 36.50 target to do the switch, or is sooner better?

    just thinking outside the box: if golds resistance is 1526...it could hit 1525 and even go back to test 1500, its 200 SMA. then take over and above 1525 next time around. silver would just follow and may not even hit 36.5 just yet(today). so in other words, anything can happen at this point...

    @Nad123
    I don't really do exact prices, more like ranges. For this morning, I'm looking for 34.75+, but probably just over/under 35.

    My day trades are always market orders - both buy and sell (or reverse if I'm going short). Much of what I do is gut-based...since nobody is sitting next to me, my notes on those trades are generally too late for anybody else to act on. Probably best that way too, as we each have our own risk/reward scenarios. Rule of thumb - BUY when your gut is screaming (I mean really screaming) silver is "over", dead, dying, done. Likewise - SELL when it seems the sky is only a 1hr limit on how how it can/will go :)

    This is for day trades though, larger patterns = larger ranges, and Livermore describes moving from day trading to swing trading to (eventually) trend trading. Today is a day trade (for me) as we're (IMO) at best in a swing up to 39.50+, but the summer trend is still flat 34/35 or even down to 30. As a day trade, I'll get in and out with a nice profit and return again on the next dip and do the same. My core remains long for long secular bull trend measured in years. I add to that position only when the short term trend (measured in weeks) hits a bottom. Like the next time we visit 30-33, after this move up exhausts itself. That target may end up being 28 by end of summer too if no QE3 clearly announced.

    Glenn Beck? You've got to be kidding, right? Beck puts just enough truth in his schtick to cover the bitter taste of the poison he's schlepping off on the people. Learn to think for yourselves and questions everyone's motives. The first thing you should do, if you want to find the truth, is turn off the TV.

    Turd, you've got a knack for self promotion, and possibly some TA skill. You would be wise to put a lot of effort into keeping politics out of your blog/web site if you want it to prosper. Partisan political views of any flavor will alienate at least 50% of your audience. If you want to push politics, that's fine. If you want to have a PM web site, politics only distracts from it.

    thank you pailin: "BUY when your gut is screaming (I mean really screaming) silver is "over", dead, dying, done."
    this is SO true! it always works out that way.
    Again, I appreciate you taking time to respond to questions

    C'mon baby! You are sooooo close to 36. You sure deserve to rise as much as you've been beaten down and kicked around. Go baby, go!

    Hope you all are off to a great start today. I must have atleast one more cup o' joe.

    @AgApe47
    Little more spike up into 9:25, then "some" selloff from NYSE to near 10am, then houses report (negative), fast waterfall till about noon, then burst run to 36 and slow grind back and forth to 36.50/37.50 by later tomorrow?

    This would be the action that fools everybody (retail sheeple) that follow momo trend, runs lots of stops, yet ends up actually taking up higher. You've got to think like EE to make $ in silver.

    Just a guess based on where we are right now and the clock...

    @Nad123
    One more thing, my day trades always include the ability to buy multiple positions, that way as the gut screams get louder I dollar cost average into an even better position...I never over commit ever. As such I make less but I make plenty. If I had gone "all in" on Friday for that sweet V pattern that I rode perfectly, I would have cleared about $50k. And been absolutely white-knuckled the whole time. And if I'd been wrong by more than 50cents I could have wiped out my whole acct. I really don't need to swap years off the end of my life for a (possible) fast fiat grab. Eff that! Slow/steady wins, even in day trade.

    Buying large chunk at around 34 and holding and selling around 42-43 would make a lot of fiat if Turk-n-Turd are both right.

    couldnt agree more pailin. these past 2 weeks I have mostly been trading gold because I got hit with silver that gloomy sunday. I am thankful though that I had a stop loss, some people had their accounts wiped out. so, I am not complaining. Now I have made some of it back and ready to jump on both silver and gold. Never think about what amount of money you could of had. Just be happy that you dont loose any haha! congrats on those trades Friday.
