Is It Time For A "C Wave Bloodbath"?

Hmmm...

My point is that we didn't actually have the "sharp drop" that was experienced last time. We did see a drop after it nearly hit $50 this time around, but it wasn't all that sharp and has apparently plateaued around $30.

Again, I agree anything could happen, but I really don't think the similarities are as pronounced as you seem to think they are.

Yep, that's why I included that third chart so the spacing would be the same for both spikes:

Barry the humps are about as close as you can get without replicating. Dont forget the 80s spike scare died off when Carter lost and Reagan won so in a little over 3 weeks well see. If Obama wins thatll be the first significant difference between the two that could lead to a possible prolonged rate increase





As long as a tax breaks or potential favors from people who want you invested in silver outweigh the losses theyd come out on top either way. If they got in a while ago though theyre just playing with house money right now anyway and may be waiting for the election or 2012 scare or next great spike to sell. They have the luxury of being able to asses the loss gain from a lot of angles the average investor whose just looking at it from pure dollars doesn't have

Exactly. The right move for them isn't necessarily the right move for us. Whole different ballgame

Read the 80s graph from left to right it did the same thing as now, just backwards. It caught support a few times well above where it had been. The spikes were also higher back then taking into account inflation. But ill let you off the hook with the kiss when it does lol

..at Hawk...

Come on it's almost exactly the same. It is just the vehicle that has changed. In 1980 it was manipulation via the physical market. Now it is manipulation of the paper market. It is just that they have learned to be better manipulators. Ya do know that all you have to do to raise the spot price, if you are a big pockets trader, is to enter the market 'heavy' enough. And to short it all you have to do is exit the market 'heavy' enough. And if you do it with a group of like minded 'big boys', then you can control the price at will.

The only reason it is where it is at is because the big boys are making money. Once it is not profitable anymore they will move on to the next big money maker. No strategy last forever. Remember you have to have sheep to fleece to make this work. And after so many crashes you have less and less sheep. Eventually they will short the market one to many times and run out of sheep.

You can chart things; you can talk about fundamentals, and supply and demand. But in the end it is ONLY market manipulation by the really rich to make themselves mo money, mo money, mo money. Everything else is spin and propaganda by the big boys to get enough sheep to go long.

And if you think the rich won't screw the system to make money...does Madoff, Lehman bro, Goldman Sachs, or MFwhatever it was, ring a bell? These were not the odd 'bad' players. These were just the unlucky ones...

Personally I am interested to see what happens Sunday when the markets open. Are the majority of sheep hoping this is just another in an endless number of 'corrections' and stick to their guns. Or do they worry that this is a downtrend and bail?

As long as there is economic upheaval which most likely they always will be in our lifetimes, G @ S will continue to soar....

When I see prosperity like the USA did perhaps in the middle of the Clinton era (at least in my 38 years I can recall no better time economically speaking), then I will buy in to sub 20 silver again....

Until that pipe dream day comes, I am stacking away with little concerns, as I have a baby coming and by the time I pass it all on to him and I am dust and gone, good chance G @ S will be worth a bit more then what I paid for it back in the early part of this new century....

Even if I am wrong and it aint worth the effort to put it in the hypothetical wheel barrel and leave outside the bank only for the thieves to come along and dumb the bullion and take the wheel barrel, I will win in the end. Via the tails you hear about post world war II Germany. Why will I win, cause its just material possessions which really mean nothing in the bigger picture of the world....

How often do I point to the story of a WEALTHY late friend of my fathers (long since past on now) who became terminal and said he would trade it all in for his health, as he had a formula he could use again to get back on top again financially, but his health was irreplaceable....

When the doc tells you that you are terminal, nothing else matters material wise anymore, minus what you leave your family to make their journey more manageable....

Hawk - some wise words.


Believe many of you are have the same question that I do. What can I do NOW, to help myself later? (monetarily or investment wise)

Very, very hard question to answer, as nothing is cast in stone. There is NO guarantee of anything.

I am stacking some silver for the long run. How I am putting some back? Buying whatever I can, selling what I need to cover the cost of the purchase, and putting the balance back. So, zero is invested (other than time). I cannot buy all the time, so this is also a limiting factor.
