The current trend line value for silver is around $25 right now. Looking long term, from a chartist's point of view, I guess that the value will stabilise at around $20, before trending up again.
My long term position for silver is very long term. I have lots of World coins I bought for their interest as coins, not bullion. I don't mind if the silver value goes below $10, which is the the typical silver bullion value that most of my coins silver coins were acquired at.
I have about 10 ounces ASW of silver culled from my collection, but I have never been particularly bothered to realise on their silver value. Too lazy, I guess. My local coin dealer has always been happy to accept them at his price.
I have never felt pressured to buy or sell on either the upward or downward side of this spike. If I seem dispassionate, that's OK. Been there, done that.

I wouldn't mind if silver went back to last June's price which was right around $18-$20/oz. Silver coins were available and plentiful then. Don't really expect to see $10/oz. again, but who knows. Shed another $2 this morning, so this definitely a slide, and not just a correction or breather as most people were expecting. 25% loss from the peak of less than a week ago will scare more than a few investors with jittery hands.

Short term selloff is probably overdone. I picked up 8 May calls on SLV hoping to make $800 for every dollar above 38 that silver reaches in May. A quick return to 50 would be nice. The cool thing about those "lotto" calls is you can get them for pennies. Each contract for 100 shares was only about $15. Lets you risk a little to make a lot on short term price swings.

fenton - getting in calls/options is nice - too bad I don't have L2 access yet.
I also see low 30's and my chance to stock up / cost average down.

Next test at 200 day moving average of + $29. I would expect the 200 should hold, but don't underestimate the ability of those that can manipulate the market.

I have been around a long time. Been there, done that. I have seen other markets than silver dive way down below the moving average then to recover to some sort of stability near the moving average.
I think, perhaps, it has to do with market sentiment, otherwise known as mob mentality, and hasn't much to do with the rational market price.
When the professional speculators move out of a specific market, taking their profits with them, they sit on the sidelines, looking for the next opportunity.
Real estate came and went, shares came and went, now precious metals, in particular, silver. The stock market is where these animals usually hang out, because there is more readily accessible capital tied up in this area, and they can be less noticed.
It is a good way to distort capital markets, and therefore an economy, and is part of the reason why the U.S. economy is in trouble. A nasty little human foible called greed is a strong causative factor.
That is one of the reasons why it is rational to diversify your investments.

Silver went up to $35.62, that's a $0.96 or 2.76% increase. I don't really care a whole lot where silver is, because if I buy silver coins (which I don't very often), they tend to be old (i.e. Barber, Capped Bust).
