On the bright side, most everything continues to improve from a technical standpoint. First, take a look at gold. The trendline from Turd's Bottom back in January is still very much intact and it is looking to keep churning higher. As mentioned repeatedly, 1525 is your first hurdle. Through there, gold can move quickly toward 1540 and 1550.
Overnight, silver broke out of the pennant I drew for you late yesterday. The battle at $36 now begins. If you need a refresher on the challenges of that number, read this:
http://tfmetalsreport.blogspot.com/2011/03/clinging-to-36.html
And this:
http://tfmetalsreport.blogspot.com/2011/03/curious-case-of-36.html
Add to that the peaks at $36.50 which you see below and you've got the basis for a gargantuan struggle. Additionally, there is very little to contain silver between 36.50 and 39 so we can all expect quite a fight to keep it below $36.50. Despite the action overnight, I still expect that it will take multiple attempts over several days to finally get $36.50 to fall. If we can pull it off by the end of the week, I'll be very happy. Silver will be right on schedule to go tackle 39.50 by early June and then roll toward 42 or 43 by mid to late June. In case you've forgotten, this was your "roadmap":

I got all excited about crude late Friday only to have it beaten back sharply before I could even have a cup of coffee on Monday. Well, it looks better today. $96 has held again and, sometime soon, encouraged longs are going to feel confident that their downside is limited so they will aggressively plunge back into this market. A move UP through the trendline will be your first clue. A close above $101.50 will be next and then crude will rush toward $105.
Lastly, physical metal continues to be scarce so I beg you to NOT sell your precious "insurance". If you are worried about falling prices and volatility then, by all means, call up a broker and buy some put options in order to hedge your position. Here's a link to help you with that:
http://tfmetalsreport.blogspot.com/2010/12/opening-options-account.html
I've received several emails lately, mostly from European Turdites, concerning the safety and availability of gold in Swiss accounts. I don't know a lot about that as I'm just a simpleton here in Anytown, USA, but where there is smoke, there is often fire.

Delays are getting longer and multi-million dollar lawsuits are piling up. If you wait to physically deliver your metal or if you blindly trust in your custodian, I fear you may deeply regret your procrastination.
Physical is physical and paper is paper.

Scott,
ReplyDeleteThat actin on Revett this morning was criminal. Just bald faced cheating. I kept putting in ridiculous orders at 3.28, 3.23, 3.17. Didn't get filled. Apparently, only the connected get shake-out bids met.
You got to ask yourself: why flush out the stops today? You snatch up the shares cheap when you expect it to run. So maybe we're about to see some action to the upside. Either way, that was well executed crime.
Good stuff Turd :)
ReplyDeleteBots running the stops up right now. 10am Housing is essentially priced in and a world of woe for longs when the report comes out negative and then XAG falls. I'll be looking for the bottom of that run to buy back in...
Raises hand for trying to outsmart algos...luckily not losing money though.
ReplyDeleteTurd, are we gonna get some volatility from the options expiration tomorrow? I didn't know if that would be much of an issue since we are much lower this month compared to last? Maybe another entry point tomorrow?

ReplyDeleteI agree, criminal indeed, the way it traded at 3.08 premarket... and what is up with this DJIA news "Ind, 2.25-3.25" --> what a total sham. The last time they flushed like this it tanked shortly after, this time I agree with your prognosis of clearing the innocent stops before making a move later in the day. Even have a fearful PR newsrelease by our market maker friends. CRIMINAL indeed. What else is new in our world...
We are now considerably outside the top Bollinger on every chart 8hr and less. If you have a long that you want to cash in on and buy back lower...now would be the time :)
ReplyDeleteI'm flat and getting really tempted to throw a small short up right now.
Rather unexpected but might see a test of 36.50 today. If so, I think I will close my June calls and reopen July calls on a downtrend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice Turd, I would have wussed out with a big loss if I hadn't had your guidance to work with.
Scott,
ReplyDeleteI do not see "DJIA news "Ind, 2.25-3.25" -->" on the news. Do you have a link?
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--New-home sales rose more than expected and the median price climbed in April, but the overall pace of sales remained weak for the battered U.S. sector.
ReplyDeleteSales increased by 7.3% on a monthly basis to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 323,000 in April, the Commerce Department said Tuesday.
Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast sales would remain unchanged at an annual rate of 300,000.
Despite the unexpected increase, sales since a year ago are down sharply, having fallen 23.1% since April 2010, which is when a tax subsidy for first-time home buyers ended.
Sales rose 8.3% in March, revised down from a previously estimated 11.1% increase. The March jump followed a February plunge that was blamed on the weather as well as fundamental troubles in the housing sector.
Uncertainty over property prices has made homebuyers hesitant to purchase new houses. Lower selling prices weighed down PulteGroup Inc. (PHM) in its first quarter, with the builder's revenues tumbling by 21%.
Home construction in April fell sharply, the government reported last week. Builders face competition from previously owned homes, which cost less. A wave of foreclosures caused by the housing bust and the deep recession swamped the market with cheap property.
The median price for an existing home in the U.S. is $163,700, the latest data show. The median price for a new home, on the other hand, was $217,900 in April, Tuesday's report said. A year earlier, the median price for a new home was $208,300. The increase was encouraging because prices have been sinking for a long time, making consumers reluctant to buy because of a belief prices might recede further.
Unsold homes on the market have kept down prices. Tuesday's data showed April inventories were at a record low. But the time it would take to exhaust the supply of unsold homes on the market was 6.5 months in April, above the baseline of six months that economists consider healthy. The supply in March was 7.2 months and it had been much higher just last summer, hitting nine months.
The Commerce report said new-home sales in April rose in all four U.S. regions on a monthly basis. Sales increased by 7.7% in the Northeast, 15.1% in the West, 4.9% in the Midwest, and 4.3% in the South.

Wow, I'm trying to hold my AGQs bought at $34 silver until Turd's Top, but it's so temping to sell now and book some serious profit...It's a good problem to have, but still, it's a problem.
ReplyDeleteSo this is how it feels to make money. I nearly forgot.
ReplyDeleteScott, I think those short RVM saw the coming storm in pms and decided to sew chaos on the chart. It's actually worked. Fear has overshadowed this pop in metals. The float is so small, they just might get away with it.
Guess we keep waiting for the sells to come? One thing I know is that I definitely ain't buying up here :)
ReplyDeleteI see very little resistence on gold all the way up 1560 (a little over the daily BB). I'm adding to my position. Any $5-10 pullback looks buyable to me.
ReplyDelete@pailin
I'll take that action. Good short the other day at 1515. Seems like here is a bad short.

@LevelHeaded
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you're being sarcastic with me or not, but I talk day trades. Only a fool would still be holding that short at 1515..as a day trade. Likewise, why buy at 1527 when 1515 is going to happen again, possibly today or later in the week? Friday has been very week for longs lately. I'll wait for that too, though I'm actually more inclined to buy on a re-test of 1500, around 1505-10 or so.
I'm not shorting right now, the near topside is undefined for both gold and silver, except 36.50 and the downside is quite a ways down there. Still going to sit flat and let my core enjoy these present gains.

ReplyDeleteI am right there with you about AGQ. what to do with it? I've booked some nice fiat gains, but that run up was nice. sell and wait for a pullback to get back in or hold til turd's top? hmmm
@pailin
ReplyDeleteNo I was giving you a complement. I remember you shorting at 1515 and we basically couldn't get over that price for a whole day and then bottomed around 1503. I assumed you covered and made money. You may be able to do that here. Hmmm...$12 pullback from 1529 to 1517? That could happen just to fill the GLD gap from this morning. Not likely in my mind but could happen.
Mommy can I short this please?
ReplyDeleteTomorrow (5/25) is Comex Expiration Date. I would be severely suprised if we just kept chugging. Tomorrow may offer a dip (small maybe) if history has any bearing on what will happen in the future (no guarentees these days).
ReplyDeleteTake a look at Jesse's Graph's to see what I am talking about:
http://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com/
Conclusion: I think tomorrow may be a better buying opportunity to catch the next upleg (if it is indeed coming) than today. Who knows though. Out to do some stuff, good luck to all.

ReplyDeleteplease see my avatar
@sp actually London is 8 hours behind pacific time if I remember right. Trinity claimed it would happen at mid day. That was 4am west coast time when the dollar spiked down and gold went to 1523 on a nearly vertical run. I believe Atlee further interpreted that rumor to be either midday or at the London fix at 3pm their time and 7am our time. We did get a big pop, breaking 1525 took a lot of energy. Gold is trading with lots of little distribution runs in the ticks and volitility right now. Short of some sort of news driver we have yet to see how many people are hopping off the bus at this level since we have that big market downturn overhang shorting peoples time frame to hold things. I know I have reservations about holding through Monday for instance.

@LevelHeaded
ReplyDeleteOk, sorry, misread you.
Actually I was long 1490 and sold at 1503. Was looking to rebuy around 1480-1490 and missed out during last dip playing with XAG. Then it ran away from me completely and I haven't been in since. Gold is holding up much nicer than silver, so I won't be shorting it for a while, maybe not at all. Silver is more fun for that :)
@JoeKa
Patience friend. Waterfalls would be more 11am-noon ET today if they follow pattern, and as noted there's COMEX expiry tomorrow too. Not sure what the action will be like there. I'm dying to see what the COT from today's COMEX close looks like when we get it later in the week. The shorts have not been hammering us as usual, so they may be nearly all gone from silver.
@Sevin
ReplyDeleteMy big fear is selling and then missing a big runup overnight while I wait for the dip... I did a lot of that in the last big move, and I'm trying to learn from my mistakes. Plus I'm not sure it's worth the stress of trying to time a dip just for a few dollars extra.
ah, here is the news item!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.zerohedge.com/article/inquiry-monopolistic-trading-practices-jpmorgan-lme-launched-sending-pms-higher
Also turd was being asked from Europeans if their gold was safe in a vault. This is uh vault run fear we are seeing here I think. People are starting to panic it looks like. No wonder really Greece has been downgraded, those clowns at the ratings agency only do rating changes once it is WAY TOO LATE. lol.

ReplyDeleteCan't speak for anybody else, but my day trades never burn me and they also make me little fiat. That's by design. It's play, it's fun, and sometimes frustrating, but mostly it pays the bills. Core handles the rich upside, and handles it very well.
@Pailin - "never"? I've been burned, but it's always educational so not a comlete loss...
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@JoeKa
ReplyDeleteThanks, mate. It's gratifying to know someone is actually reading my posts. :)
@G
ReplyDeleteYou're completely right when you say, "when a clear trend has been established".
Long term the trend is unquestionably up. That doesn't keep you from losing 1/3 of your money in the short term.
But we've been through a consolidation and I think we are moving out. That's why I was giving Pailin a little grief about shorting here. I think of a trending market like an elevator moving up and down but mostly up. You can get off on the 12th floor because you think the elevator is going down to the 11th floor. If you successfully switch elevators while the other one is going down you can really "get ahead". The problem comes in when you geuss wrong and the one you get off keeps going up and then you have to wait for the next elevator to hop on or scramble up the stairs to try to catch up.
Pailin expressed this perfectly just now, "Was looking to rebuy around 1480-1490 and missed out during last dip playing with XAG. Then it ran away from me completely and I haven't been in since."
Lord knows I've made thins mistake many many times. This time I'm planted on the elevator unless we violate the chart.
@uptofreedom
ReplyDeleteBy "never burned" I meant they never crimp my style to the point that I quit or whatever. Burned to me means take a massive hit. Yes, there's always lessons learned on small mistakes and technique is tightened. The first I learned was to not let a small mistake become a big mistake!
Early ast night, was short XAG at 35.05, a carryover from during the day. It started not feeling right, covered at 34.90. Did not want to go to sleep on it, even though the trade hand't "matured". That was a lesson I learned on a losing trade (or two :), you play what the market gives you, not the other way around. Or you lose. My mistake last night was not taking a small spec long too in case of overnight bump. So I missed running 34.90-present. Sigh. And that's why I carry low dca core always.

ReplyDeleteTrader Dan on SAT regarding COT. Says net shorts at lowest since 5/2009, net longs lowest since 3/2010.
@LevelHeaded
ReplyDeleteThe swing trade right now is positive for both metals. Bad idea to short either for a while. Better to wait for buys to come to you..learned that from atlee.
Understand that on Friday while looking away from XAU to play XAG, I actually made about 15x more on XAG than I would have if I'd bought/held XAU from 1490 (as a limit buy) to 1515 (where I would have sold anyway). I pretty much only use market orders during NY day action, want to be very nimble and not locked into a trade originally planned when conditions were different. Given the choice, I'll ignore XAU to play XAG because of the greater volatility and thus greater short term gains. Most important, I wanted to be flat going into weekend and I was, so mission accomplished. Hope that makes sense?
My question as a newbie to this board is will there be another drive by shooting/attack on silver once it get's close to $50 again or in the mid-40s. Or will they let it go up to $60 next time before the next attack. Would it be too obvious for them to attack at $50, or do they really care. I'm a huge believer in PMs since silver was $8 and Gold $400. If one could only predict.
ReplyDeleteThe fonze, I am having trouble deciphering what this news means as I am inept in all the trading jargon.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I understand are they saying that there are large holders of paper silver on the LME. One of which is JPM. And that they have been manipulating the market on the LME and now they are launching an investigation? And this spells trouble for JPM as they are guilty of manipulating silver in US and london markets?
Is that right?
@oldNavy
ReplyDeleteYep, saw that myself over the weekend. Very bullish for the longer run. I'm still worried about what the hedgies can do to us though. They've only rolled back to March 2011 levels. They are the reason I'm not buying into 36s right now. I need to see what COT looks like for today when it's released later this week. I don't need the lowest price to get back in with serious money. I need a safer price though.
By wait for the next elevator I meant wait for the next good entry point.
ReplyDeleteBy scramble up the stairs I meant try to make some money shorting so you can get back the profits you feel like you "should have had" if you had just held.
MAybe this explanation wasn't necessary. I've been here before many times and it sucks.
@Pailin

@ Thought Regarding
ReplyDeletehttp://www.zerohedge.com/article/inquiry-monopolistic-trading-practices-jpmorgan-lme-launched-sending-pms-higher
When Trinity B commented about the "nice surprise during mid-day London hours," this could fall into it...
When Trinity B Said "We are all blythe masters,"
Could this be because the real manipulator of silver and gold is not JP Morgan to profit but instead the Western Banking Cabal... (what I thought anyways, as JP morgan is just a front company for the real players). And, the Western Banking Cabal issues our currencies that we all use in the system and even pay taxes back to our fraudulent true manipulative power structure of the world.
When saying "I am blythe masters," it could be a reference to the fact that each and every single person here is actually just as responsible for what is going on as Blythe Masters. Not in a direct way, but so in the fact that it is the system's users empower the system without ever knowing it...
We are dependent on the beast, and we think that it is failing... it is not failing, it is moving into a different mode. Interesting how we are back at 36.4 just like old times...
I may owe Trinity B a nice dinner. Looks like silver may close up at least $1.25.
ReplyDeleteComing up on the middle BB of the 5 min chart, might see some movement from there.
ReplyDeleteMost of the other charts are still showing a bit rich, so we might see some down movement.
Looking for a buy point. Hoping for sub 36.
@LevelHeaded
ReplyDeleteOh yes, terrible idea to try to make up for could/should/woulda with even more trading. Can't have emotions running your market order finger :)
Better to let the dust settle and reevaluate then. That's where I'm at right now, and I never feel all that bad due to my long core. My shorts generally make sense because they are always set up as hedges if nothing else against the core long.
I still have a real fear of summer deflation ala 2008. As such I'm willing to forgoe being too long (both core and trading acct) and losing extra gains to getting hammered on a 25%+ dip to 28 even 24. That always seems to happen when you're overweight and the gains look to be blue sky all the way. Kind of like how 48/49 silver felt three weeks ago :)
I'd rather have the extra dry powder ready to buy in there instead of hating the world and my own greed.
Debt ceiling, BS 2 party policking, and QE3 have me greatly concerned for holding anything trading related overnight or over weekend. We need some resolution on that stuff before we get into the ridiculousness of the next presidential election run :)

ReplyDeleteWell it just means that people are starting to figure out the scam. This is bringing presure on the people running the scam. If there is a shortage of the metal price must go up. People are realizing that if greece tanks they can't withdraw money from greek banks. Also British banks are on the hook.
Historically when PM's are stored in a vault, the vault owner first gains secrecy, then writes receipts for metals in the vault it does not own. Eventually people figure this out and panic. We are coming up on this point in the UK.
here is a little cartoon that nicely summarizes what is happening. The most important part of it is selling what is not yours. Fancy schmancy word for this is counter party risk. You could also call it trusting a liar.

I'm pretty sure this is irrellevant, but my platform CMC-Markets. Its more of a financial betting system rather than outright trading and investing tbh. I just got a mail from them where they're hiking margains on ALL commodities starting 29 May. Silver up to 8% from 1%(!). Gold up to 3% from 1%. Crude up to 5% from 1%.
ReplyDeleteI dont think the margain-calls of investors per se will lead to a selloff as they're not directly exposed to the market, but i reckon CMC-markets hedge their investors picks, so them as a fund might do some selling. How big actors they are, i got no idea. Take it for what its worth.
@Pailin - I'm getting better with the whole "letting buys come to you"... Placed a buy order for AGQ@176.5 after lightening up @184.3
ReplyDelete176ish my guestimate where AGQ will be if silver dips to 35.5. (silver day high of 36.4 to 35.5 is -2.5%. 2.5%x2=5%. AGQ high of 185.5x.95 = 176.225) Might fire a bullet manually at some point, but I've had the most success by identifying a target like this and just letting it happen...
Now I'm just "hoping" for 35.5. Feels dirty...
FYI re food storage:
ReplyDeleteYou will likely encounter long lead times for delivery of bulk foods. I ordered several types of beans, wheat and rice in 25-lb lots in early April. Delivery time was 6 weeks at the time of offer. Beans are now promised for June 29; Durham Wheat for August 15.
Whatever happened to the poster named "evil". Haven't seen anything from him since Turd asked him to contact him directly.....
ReplyDeleteNo way we break 36.4 without retesting 36 and probably in the 35s somewhere. I think 36.4 is the number they want for tomorrow's option expiration. I then think it will take off on Thursday and/or Friday. Something along the lines of what happened last expiration month (for silver but it could be the new trend with low comex registered metals). However, the two massive days were followed by a smash due to forced liquidations (margins). Will be interesting in the next week, that is for sure. Especially with the S&P not participating in dollar weakness. New policy seems imminent, but I agree with LaMachina... I always feel like something big is coming.

P.S.
This plan is already scripted... do not think that any of this is spontaneously occuring imo... this is a carefully orchestrated plan, if we wise up to it we can profit from it... at least with the S&P Numbers and the gold/silver comex price.

What does London gold fixing mean?
ReplyDeleteI like the look of this action. Looking at the charts we might get to around 35.80 and that is just fine by me.
ReplyDeleteWhether we test 36.40 again today I kinda doubt but with the Bond auctions at 1PM we might get some funk action there.

ReplyDeleteDon't you remember from Elementary School there are no dumb questions? You a quite a sensitive soul.
Never mind I'll go google it or wiki it.
Turd,
ReplyDeleteThe expectation of 36.50$ to fall smells like the 50$ level expectation which did not happen.
1) Why is it that you think it will go through that and above 40$,
2) If it does not, then how low will it go.
Anyone else can chime in too.
Don't you remember from Elementary School there are no dumb questions? You a quite a sensitive soul.
ReplyDeleteNever mind I'll go google it or wiki it.

No! I just know a trolling question when I see one. This is a PM board, and it is discussed here daily ad nauseum.
@shill
ReplyDeleteYou know nothing. When was the last time a difinition was provided? Don't bother answering, it's never or not for a long time.
That was an honest question. Posters on this board use the word "troll" more than the word "the".
The constant motive questioning is so frustrating.
@Level.........yes there are dumb questions.
ReplyDeleteNot making a comment about your question just making a comment about the myth that there are no dumb questions. Yet another attempt by "progressives" to excuse idiotic behavior and vilify productive people who don't have time to suffer idiots.

sorry, elmo?
ReplyDeleteGood on Krauser for 35.80.
ReplyDeleteMr. Turd:
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your very informative post. Unfortunately I don't have the minimum required capital to open an options account, therefore, I am using a forex broker to trade precious metals, with as small leverage as possible to minimize that risk.
Do you see Silver re-testing $35 during this week or even dropping below that level?
Also, where do you see Gold going in that case, $1495?
@uptofreedom
ReplyDeleteIs that a trolling question?
Everyone knows it's a red puppet from sesame street.
Lol yes Joe :)

Silver hit 35.80 as I prognosticated. The question is, where does it go from here?
ReplyDelete15 minute chart shows that we might be headed down to 35.60.
35.6 is more like it, RSI hasnt even hit 20 yet
ReplyDeleteJoe don't forget Kermit :) Gold is Kermit as is Silver.
ReplyDeleteI prognosticate more ELMO !
ReplyDeleteword ver: comicity
My guess is that we end up hanging around 35.50 towards the end of the day. Then overnight will do what overnight does (and I have no idea - either flat or they re-test 36.50?) I think we're still owed a waterfall, one bigger than we've seen so far, so maybe it's reserved for tomorrow beginning 4am?
ReplyDeleteI'm staying flat for now, not buying into this rally.

Gold just held 1520.3 which was the 10MA on the 120 minute chart. This could hold.
If that doesn't hold 1516-1517 is the 20MA on the 120 minute chart and will also close the gap on GLD from this morning.

ReplyDeleteDon't know how bad you're hurting on CORN today, but what is a good entry point? I have a bid in at 44.03. I don't know this market well.
Scott,
ReplyDeleteDon't look now, but RVM's turned green. I'm still pissed I didn't get my lowball bid filled pre-market. Revett's looking strong here.
Still need to tack on another $0.15-$0.20 to get to the magic number although I'm fairly certain that she'd prefer to remain anonymous regardless of what I'm offering. I would indeed buy a nice bottle but like Vegas, what happens at dinner stays at dinner. I'm good that way.
ReplyDeleteHow likely is there we'll see a double top at 36.5, then pullback to the 35.5 area? Or will it then go lower still?
ReplyDeleteThoughts on GPL anyone? This news can't be good (from Yahoo):
ReplyDelete"GREAT PANTHER SILVER LIMITED (TSX:GPR - News)(AMEX:GPL - News) (the "Company") has decided to postpone the NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate for the San Ignacio Mine property, Guanajuato, pending further drilling. Diamond drilling has continued at San Ignacio, where silver-gold mineralization was intersected and results announced for the first 8 holes (see news releases dated October 28, November 15, December 21, 2010 and March 10, 2011). As drilling continued and results were compiled, steps were taken to prepare an internal NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate. This involved a Quality Assurance ("QA") procedure that was even more stringent than the normal process of inserting standards, blanks and duplicates into the drill core sample sequence. Under the new procedure, drill core from select samples was quartered and assayed to compare to the original results and, during this process, it was observed that there was no consistent correlation between the original and check assays."
Considering that 35.5 is the target I had in mind, I'd say not bloody likely... :/
ReplyDeleteSSK,
ReplyDeleteNot a good press release.

That's ok, I'm accumulating at these weak prices while it flies under the radar. All they're doing is growing and proving up their Au reserve categories. Just a matter of time.

ReplyDeleteWhy not give them away?
That's what Bank of America plans to do with as many as 150 vacant and abandoned properties in and around Chicago through a new "collaboration" with the city that's intended to address the problem of abandoned properties.
"Unfortunately," BofA said in a statement, "many homeowners faced with unemployment, underemployment and other economic hardships have transitioned to alternative housing situations, and in many cases, have walked away from their homes, leaving behind vacant and deteriorating properties that can cause neighborhood blight."

I almost picked up some NGD yesterday but I held off too long and now it's out of my buy range. I'm hoping to pick up some NGD at 8.75 or 9 and some TRE at 6.75, but both may not track back that low for a while.
ReplyDeleteSSK
ReplyDeleteI saw that news this morning. My feeling is that this kind of thing is never ever good. But at the time I didn't do all my homework to see just how bad it is.
Did a little checking right now. The property in question is a short drive from GPL's main mine, and considered a satellite property. It is also nearly surrounded by one of EXK's main mines. Clearly good ground, and I think GPL was counting on it for some future production growth, but this does throw a wrench in the works.
Did not buy or sell any GPL on this news. It may yet turn out to be just fine, etc, but no denying I have a queezy feeling in my gut about it.
So, how crazy is it to want to quit your job and just be a trader?
ReplyDeleteIs it as crazy as it sounds when I say it out loud, or is it as sane as it sounds in my head?
I've been able to follow the charts and while I didn't jump in after getting out at 36.30, I am continously recognizing the signs that would have resulted in profit if I had acted on them.
Does anyone here do this for their main income stream or is it more of a lucrative yet stressful hobby?
Turd, I have a Lind-Waldock account and actually work with Tony Klancic myself. I will admit to never having taken physical delivery in the account, however (until this month).
ReplyDeleteI must ask: How can these custodians be trusted?
Furthermore, holding metal in a depository isn't the same thing as having ACCESS to metal. I feel as if I need to send that metal to a mint to have them made into rounds which then get sent back to me to a secure facility of my choosing where I have access. It seems like an awful amount of work (not that I'm averse to work). The point here is that holding bars in a depository with only a statement providing me with warm fuzzies isn't the way to go either.
Any thoughts you might have (or anyone else with understanding of these matters) would be highly valued.
Cheers!

ReplyDeleteYes, I saw that Kirkland news. Not sure what market expectations were for April production, but it blew away MY expectations. I'm really loving Kirkland lately. Still can't get over that news release from May 4th.

ReplyDelete@krauser
ReplyDeleteI do it full time. I'm not sure I'd recommend quiting your job for it but it has worked out for me. My last paycheck was over 12 months ago.
I got off to a great start, my wife is 100% supportive and believes in me even more than I do, I love trading, I have a very high risk tolerance, I've been trading for 10+ years so I made a lot of learning mistakes while I had a W2. All of these things were instrumental to succeding.
Not sure what else to say. It's not easy but I have never been happier and I don't have to worry about losing $10K while I'm in a meeting.
screw you guys, im back home
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, Eric #1 is right.
ReplyDeleteKrauser, you must consider the intangible pressure to perform when you make anything your profession. Investing would go from a hobby to a job. Maybe you have the right temperment for it but you need to be ruthlessly honest with yourself if you can make wise decisions when under extreme circumstances.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what is your starting capital? Rhetorical of course, but what kind of return percentages do you need from your captial to make a living? A few percent or double digits? Just be careful of expectations if they fail to materialize. That's when bad decisions are made.
Eric cartman is always right
ReplyDeletetrollercoaster - respect Turd's authoritie!
ReplyDeletewho hit the pause in silver market? Scrrew YOU hippie
ReplyDeletekrauser: You can never predict the future, but you can always control your risk. If you have an appetite for risk, and can absorb the costs of making mistakes -- and ensuring that those mistakes aren't financially fatal -- then it's worth a shot.
ReplyDeleteTreat it like a BUSINESS with utmost seriousness, impose restrictions on yourself, maintain control, treat the market as you would a reservoir -- don't wade in with a 55-gallon drum, but rather use a coffee cup. Small and consistent gains over long periods of time is the way to go. Chasing fantastic and lofty gains is one way to ruin. I've traded for 19 years now (metals for past four) and cannot see myself doing anything differently.
I will say this: The metals markets make Las Vegas look like a daycare center.
Question: on jim sinclairs web site everyone refers to one anther as CIGA's.

ReplyDeleteListen to Tanker. Good advice. Set things up with a good accountant too. Run it through a business. If you can do freelance on the side, do it.
Now, let's watch NGD break 9.60 on the way to . . . . looking at the chart, there's nothing in the way before 10. And one hell of a gap to fill going on up.

TRE on a breakout. Sweet. Loving this action.
ReplyDeleteI would definetly advise foreigners to steer clear of Switzerland regarding anything anything of a financial nature. From my own personal experience the integrity of the financial institutions in Switzerland is severly lacking. They can choose if they want to be regulated by the goverment or not. Even if you were to find one that was regulated by the Swiss goverment that you think you may have confidence in, there is nothing to prevent them from spinning off a different firm and choosing not to have this other firm goverment regulated. Then they would place the accounts of foreigners in this other self regulated firm. This basicly amounts to some type of bait and switch scam, which seems to be an acceptable business practice in Switzerland. This is exactly what happened to me.
ReplyDelete@SSK,
ReplyDeleteGot stopped out with a small loss and got my feelings hurt. I would trade CORN etf using July corn futures for reference. (CORN consists of several contract months I believe)
Todays 7.31 trade is right at the first fib retracement off the last rally(6.59 to 7.75).
This should hold, but if it doesn't, 7.17 is the 50% retracement, and would be the next downside target.
Caution: This market will be as volatile as silver.
What seems to be the issue driving the POSX lower? I am looking at the netdania chart station. I have four charts up: silver spot (US), gold spot, POSX, and Dow Jones Industrials, all five minute charts, last 48 hours.
ReplyDeleteIf the Greek bonds are sure to default, then why is the POSX dropping?
Silver is nice and stable for now at $36 or so, gold is trending nice at $1,524, Dow Jones is at 12,392. So why is POSX at 75.84 and dropping?
Many thanks for the insights.
Damn! That Tinka which SGS is always harping about went up 23%.
ReplyDeleteI only have a very small position because I swapped almost all of my miners for silver a couple weeks ago. I just kept a few penny stocks that are difficult to trade.

G-- thanks for taking the time to post the links on silver/gold fixing...unlike some people here who think people are trolls for asking, many of us are newbies and have never heard the terms. We try to gleen what it means through conversations here but are often left guessing. Just because people ask a question that all you professionals have talked/heard about "ad nauseum" does not mean that we are trolls. Some of us are newbies and some of us have just arrived- please try to remember that because sometimes your reactions discourage those of us learning from asking new questions because we know we are going to get slammed.

Turd sure called it. Now for a pull back and retest so i can get some more fiat.

Titus,
ReplyDeleteHave you heard any news on TINKA? I have shares and love the move, but cannot figure out why.
Oh, and what are the odds that Turd is re-writing some paragraphs from his latest update as we speak? I'm sure there are a lot of "when"s and "if"s that got changed to "now that we've". :D

According to Kid dynamite site... harvey spouts nonsense on a DAILY basis. usually, most of what he writes as his interpretations about SLV/GLD is factually incorrect. Would you like some examples? of course you would - he has now started talking about SLV's NAV. He is likely to get this wrong every single day, because he doesn't understand what SLV's NAV is (really, he doesn't understand ANYTHING about SLV, which is extremely problematic for someone who wants to analyze the silver market) - he thinks that SLV = 1 ounce of silver. it doesn't. it's slightly less that one ounce (they sell silver to pay expenses), and the data is all on SLV's public website. I did a post on this, if you're interested:
ReplyDeletehttp://kiddynamitesworld.com/z...
Another: he repeats the nonsense - on a daily basis - that the Bank of England owns the gold in GLD and can recall it at any time. It's just factually incorrect - it's like saying that if you own allocated bars at BullionVault, that the Bank of England can just recall them from you. False.
Rest of market is hardly moving and silver is spiking. Major Short covering?
ReplyDelete@Sevin
ReplyDeleteI was itching to sell at the second peak, as you did, I really thought it would drop thru the floor after that, but I keep reminding myself of that $42 Turd's Top goal, and the nice pile of $$ waiting at that point.... I'm gonna have to find something else to daytrade, maybe Art's CORN, so I leave my AGQ alone.... ;-)
I have a new personal strategy, please hear me out.
ReplyDeleteI was really hit hard with the May 2nd Take down. I had a lot of SLV options that I was playing and I got taken to the cleaners. However, I have been thinking about a strategy and like it quite well. I am still playing the paper options game (along with my physical) and now am shorting and buying puts on JPM as it is my opinion that this take down was orchestrated by JPM. I have an August timeframe but am going to put my own pressure on those guys for the next few months. Maybe my shorts and puts will blow up as well, but I feel right now is time to fight back.
I now have a two prong approach. paper silver calls and longs, JPM puts and shorts.
If enough people jump on this same bandwagon we can put pressure on those that squeezed us. My thinking is that with PMs going up they get the squeeze and JPM going down they get more of a squeeze to close out PM positions.
