You may be waiting a good while if you won't buy till it goes to $26. Looks to me like there is a pretty solid floor at about $30. Better to just buy the dips rather than set prices,you may miss out. I may be wrong and you guys may be right in this crazy volatile world,but I need to keep adding so I will buy any reasonable dip.

Listening to people talk it seems like many here view Silver as a volatility trade instead of a long term value investment. I will need to ponder that.

I am in silver and gold for the long term! With the premiums I have had to pay to get silver,buying and selling makes less sense to me than long term holding. On average,for my total hoard,I have paid just under $20/oz. I could sell and make a nice profit,but I could never buy it back down the road for that price. I plan to hold for at least 4-5 more years unless I need to liquidate for some reason.

You may very well be right. But I can't help thinking of last year when silver was above $40 and very few people dreamed it would drop to $27 by the end of the year (which it did). Either way, the good news is that I now own enough silver to feel relatively comfortable if it shoots up to $50 and never comes back down. If it drops below $30 I'll probably buy some more, but I no longer feel that I need to keep buying in bulk at every opportunity lest I miss the boat. And in the mean time I'll just keep buying small amounts of collectible silver, like the 5-ounce ATBs and the yearly ASEs.

We saw a similar spike in the late 70s early 80s and sure enough it eventually went away. Id say its more of a hedge then an investment at these current prices

Based on past history, here's what I predict the near future will hold....
Sometime before the end of the year, the price of silver will drop below $30 again. I will immediately rush out and make a large purchase (perhaps another monster box, some 100-ounce bars, etc.), based on the fact that my wife has said we should buy a bunch if it drops again. Right after my purchase, silver will then drop at least another $2-3 and my wife will yell at me for not waiting longer. Because of amount of money I just spent I won't buy anything else even though silver is around $27. A few months later, silver will start to take off again and, when it hits $34 my wife will once again tell me that I should buy a bunch if and when it ever drops below $30 again.
Rinse and repeat...

I'm still waiting for it to hit $50 a ounce so I can unload my "Not-So-Junk" junk silver... Last year when it almost reached that, I went through most of my silver coins and set some aside... If requested, I could post photos of my "Not-So-Junk" junk silver so you can see what's available at spot (if it should ever go back up)...

Broken-Coin,
The problem is that if silver ever does hit $50, I doubt any of us will actually be buying...
