Funny thing is, I just checked prices at one of Mexico's national banks and silver is UP 28 pesos from yesterday. That's more than a $2 USD jump! The exchange rate didn't go up that much. Maybe its just the guys in the back office tring to keep their inventory from running out the door. Oh well, enjoy the window fellas!

I still think overall PM sales are lagging in the down times an I see it to often in person....
Funny how people come running out of the woodwork to buy silver when it passes 35 per oz., but only the elite percentage of WISE (an that must be a low percentage) go looking to buy big time as many of the members here will no doubt be doing....
It may take another one of these bottom out stock market events where the guys with suspenders an pin strip blue shirts start heading for the exits again like late last fall seems like. One thing I can say for sure, that will be a mater of WHEN, an not IF....

Ah, well. Looks like I won't be buying anything today after all.
Maybe tomorrow...

I saw the price of gold slip below $1600 / oz. this morning and was mighty tempted to buy some but didn't. I don't think that we've seen the last of this pull-back. Makes me wonder what will happen when the Germans hold their election.

well of course I would love silver to stay below $30 until friday, but my "prediction" is that with all the buying likely occuring today and tomorrow, toward thursday/friday prices will likely be back up around 31/32, just my opinion though

Have a look at the 1 year silver price history chart, and the silver 200 day moving average.
Trend lines can be drawn from these which suggests that silver will be around $28 in six months' time.

I somewhat disagree sel- If you look at the 3 years since the beginning of 09/ later 08 the silver tends to have between 3-4 up and down dips before going on a positive above the previous high. Besides of course the 50 jump, but since then now we have had 3 major dips and I believe this is now our fourth, I would give it some time (possibly 6 months due to elections) but I believe after summer we will start to see a slow climb back up until after elections, then if by what I see at charts somewhere around the time frame of end of year there is a chance of a spike back upward. Of course there are many, MANY other factors, but by charts that would be my opinion.

http://www.businessspectator.com.au...ment&src=rssAccording to this article Bernanke may try to devalue the US dollar which would force gold prices higher. As gold goes so does silver. This play into the scenario of a price jump occurring around the end of summer. I've leaned along time ago not to live buy charts alone. The Greeks sure messed up my stock portfolio and no chart saw that coming. My opinion is buy low and hope for the best. I got a feeling we're going to see sub $28 prices soon and could go as low as $20 if there is a sudden improvement in the economy but who knows. With the economy slowing in China and the recent government changes in Europe, anything could happen. We're still in volatile times and gold and silver as still a good bet.

There is always hope that the silver price will trend up and continue to do so. That often proves to be the case, and for reasons that are unforeseen. The opposite also happens.
The interest heightens when you take a position.

Look at a longer range chart and you may see an eerie similarity to 1980-81. I'm looking for silver to tank, BIG TIME. I may be buying those pre-65 mint sets I need before the end of the year with silver close to $15 an ounce! I would not be surprised to see silver below $20 before summer. If that does happen (and that's a big if) the trick is to figure out the "buy" price. It would be a shame to wait for $15 and have it rebound at $16, but no sense buying at $18 on the way down to $12. But then again, I may be totally wrong. Isn't this FUN!?!

I know you folks probably don't give a rats ptoooie in regards to my opinion, but, I'll tell you, watching this drop in silver to below $30 is some major monkey business perpetrated by Wall Strret. Buy now and hold on to it for a bit. And that's if you can buy physical because alot of bullion dealers will not sell now. I buy and sell Numismatic Silver and this last weekend none of the dealers were selling Bullion anywhere near spot, which they generaly do. They were selling junk Silver near spot but only in large amounts. I'll guarantee you good folks if the price of Silver drops much more you wont be able to buy physical in the near future. makes me mad that it's come to the cocaine addled brains of Wall Street messing with around with our assets. I could write or talk about this for hours but it just depresses me.

I like silver as much as the next guy, but just lately added a quarter oz. of plat an gold to diversify a bit, an why not with prices in free fall some deals to be had....
Do I think silver will bottom out at five bucks an remain there another 30 years, heck no? But why not spread it out a bit an keep that in the plans for the time being.....
Now, I will be buying silver as well, as now with a quarter oz. of each plat an gold stashed away, my next jump logically will be from 36 to 40 oz of silver, most likely in LOAF form, I love a good loaf, lol....

I'm relatively new to silver. I've been buying for about a year or less. luckily my collection got onto a fast track when I discovered a couple local hordes that had sat for decades. I bought in at about $22/oz and most of the coins are proofs and have additional numismatic value. I actually bought in when silver was over $40/oz on most of my coins, so its hard to watch the profits that I had slip away. something just tells me that long term this is going to work out even better, so I'm sitting tight. silver is used as more than just currency and new uses for silver continue to be discovered. so its hard to imagine the precious metal falling much farther. I did take a third of my silver and sold it for ancients to diversify things a little just in case when I first purchased. so I'm 2/3's silver and the rest ancients. I wonder how this will play out someday......
