I would've voted for $40, but the fluctuations of late AM-early PM today make me wonder... The idea above about a relatively brief dip down to $25ish before taking off for $40+ may turn out to be the winner.

Well, since I bought some at $33, I guarantee it will be $25. I am the kiss of death!

I feel the same as you MacCoins... I bought almost 30oz at $36 a bar/round and then it started the downward fall! I hope it goes to $25 but only for a few weeks so I can buy anothe 30 and make my money back when it hits 40+!! Thats my hopes at least... with my sorry luck it will stay at $30 till I'm dead and gone!

Central bankers around the world continue to create fiat money by the truckload. $40 is more likely than $25, although a dip to $30 wouldn't be surprising.

I vote forty because people everywhere see money as becoming worth less over time and people are afraid of currencies becoming worthless.

I voted $25. I still feel like PM will drop after the election. It does not matter who wins, it is the fact that the doom-and-gloom craziness of campaigning will be over. But I also feel like this effect will be short term and silver will be up again. Of course, the drop might not go all the way to $25 and $40 could still come first.

Last year when silver hit $48.48 a ounce in April 2011, I removed some collectable silver from my collection that I was willing to sell at spot should silver reach $50.00 a ounce... I called this my "Not So Junk, Junk Silver" and have been wanting to post photos (many Silver Dollars included), and since I have done this Silver continues to drop... I'm also holding over 100 ounces of my Sisters silver to sell when the local p/m buyers are paying $35 a ounce... Last month I visited one p/m buyer that only offers 70% of spot, way too low as I used to pay 85%+ back when I could afford to purchase in bulk.

I originally posted this poll about six months ago. As I type this, silver is at a six month low. The question still applies, do you think it will continue to trend down to $25, or bounce back to $40?

I know I voted $40 before....I'm wondering if I was wrong. I really didn't think that below $29 was going to happen. Every catalyst that would normally boost silver up has done nothing for it. Fundamentals out I guess... My new plan is to soil myself, regroup and come up with a new plan. I've just been sidelined since I cant even to begin what to do now other than a sit and hold. Not sure of the best time to get going again. I do feel this is a good price though. Anything under $30 seems to pretty decent.

I'm still in the $40 camp. Here's why.
Spot is an easily manipulated paper price, while the cost of physical is the real indicator. Think of spot as theory and physical as reality. In life, reality rules and theory drools.
Premiums are currently much higher than they were when silver was in the $32 to $33 range. What you have to pay to get the real thing is the true price rather than some alleged spot price that can literally be pulled out of thin air.

I'm starting to think it's just going to hover around $29 forever at this point...
To be honest, I no longer really care. I am buying for the long term, to either have something I can hand down to my son or else sell off in my retirement years if necessary. I see that day as being at least 20-30 years down the road. And the purchases I have made over the last couple of years have pretty much gotten me to the amount I feel comfortable owning -- kind of the butter zone between not having enough to make really a difference if the price were to hit $40 (or higher) and having so much invested that I would be crushed if prices ever dropped below $25 and stayed there.

From the big sellers the premiums are the exact same as they were at the other prices. Some places are still charging the high price but thats just because they bought at a bad time and are trying to not lose money. As they get more at the lower pries and the price stays longer even their premiums will drop

I just think it will stay right where it has been. Seems the prices have 'something' other than demand in charge. As an aside, in reading through this thread I noticed EdB posting. He used to regularly post in this section and I don't see any posts recently. Does anyone know if he's ok?
