Silver

Been buying since it was in the teens.

Stopped buying at $17...but who knows where it will go.

Cazzuey I see $$$$ in your future.

I think we will see some more profit taking soon for sure, but I don't think we will ever see 20-25 again. There is way too much support once it hits the 28 mark. If you're in it long term like I am, keep buying and don't worry about the price. If you want short term profit, I would wait for a pull back in the 28 range. I would love for Jim to be correct, so I can back up the truck and load up.

I sold a really nice poured JM 100 oz bar when it was $13..d'oh! I sold another 100 ounces at $16...arrg. I remember when silver Maples were worth just a tick over the $5 face value...nobody wanted any. Now that it's $30, everybody and their dog wants to buy. It's funny that the premise of "buy low, sell high" is so well known to people, yet often they do the exact opposite.

Still getting lucky enough to buy between 13-17.5x face on 90%.

I completely disagree with anyone saying we will see sub 25 dollar silver for at least the next few years, if ever. I'll also venture to say we won't see it drop below 28 in the near future, either. Silver has a lot going for it like it's asset potential as a hedge against inflation and its use in industry. Beyond that, we only need to look at JP Morgan Chase's ETF scandal and the fact that Silver's value is being manipulated by the major banks (they profit from a strong dollar, and weak silver). Oh, and China just made it legal for their citizens to own silver (even more demand). Most of the silver mined throughout history is gone (I've read estimates of upwards of 90% of it). No one recycles silver from electronics (at least not yet). We could very well see a silver/gold backed world currency at some point. Gold is widely believed to hit $10,000.00 an ounce at some point, and if silver follows its historical relation of around 20/1 than what I say next won't be a shocker.
I'm in the camp of $100.00 an ounce silver within 4 years. It could be sooner, however. We don't have the Hunt brothers anymore, but we have worse (HSBC/JPMC). Silver hit $48.70 in 1980. If we factor in inflation that is $129.32 in todays dollars. So you can see $100 an ounce is not a big stretch of the imagination. We'll see how this JPMC and HSBC manipulation of the ETFs plays out. If that blows up in their faces, we could see a parabolic rise in silver almost overnight. We'll see sell-offs at psychological limits such as $30, $35, $40 and so on but I personally won't stop buying until I see our country get its economic act together (and the same goes for all the other countries with fiat based money systems). And by that time we'll all be rich!

psi .... Take what you want to offload to either the CAND show in Hamilton at the end of Jan or to Torex at the end of Feb. Both will have around 40-50 dealers and there are always 5-6 who openly buy .800 or higher. I've gotten 95% of scrap before to dealers that I know. Go to one of those coin shows and shop around for the one who gives you the best deal.
