Silver has lost $18 per oz since this thread started. I blame this thread.

No problem Calvin.
Remember too, the entire market has opportunities, even in times when its going sideways. For now, PMs need more time.
heck even Corn is trying to make some moves higher, trying to break trend lines higher. Soybeans, which are in an uptrend, earlier this summer had a pull back and looks like they are getting ready to break out higher once again. Talk about big downtrends in the grains.
While one sector might go into a dormant stage, another wakes up. This is how one should view PMs currently.

I'm glad others also decided to sell in the short term, even if we are in a long-term uptrend. IMO, this illustrates we are all teachable.
Livermore talked about this in his book when he said there is nothing wrong with moving aside when things don't look right. Sage advice.

I've been looking out below for months and haven't seen the $10 buy point I'm waiting for. Wake me up when we get there.

$10 may be a stretch but one never knows

highly doubt we see 10s, 12s, etc on silver.
I have seen assets in uptrends give up their gains and remain 1-2 points above their break out areas, chop around, and after much time, then they move out even farther. Depending on your goal, your strategy, your experience, you may want to close things out. Personally, I am looking for that trend, want the strongest of trends and when it starts to weaken or slow down, and something else is moving or acting better or in other words, profitable, thats is where I send my capital.
For this reason I said many times, you dont go and blow your entire load at once. Pyramid on the way up and wait, watch. Right now, there a few areas in the market, tho thin, that are giving a lot more than gold and silver. Finally, don't forget, silver is still up for the year, 26% and gold is up 18% for the year.
I think that is what is playing out here with silver and gold. they need a LOT of time to go by right now for the next move.

yup,
I noticed that you have mentioned particular mining stocks before that you liked, was wondering what you thought about Hecla. I watched it just recently when gold and silver prices rose, and the stock made a pretty good percentage gain also over a period of about a week. I guess I could pick up some shares at the current prices for the long haul, but may wait to see if it comes down a little more in the next couple weeks. What do you think?

@jmgi
I dont have a particular opinion on it, price wise it was at 52 highs when gold and silver were moving, so that is a positive for it.
The only thing I would say is just be careful, and this is pretty much in general with any stock say under 10 dollars.
You are carrying a bit more risk with stocks under 10 dollars, they are subject to much move wild swings and violent moves and sometimes are not in the best of financial shape.
That is NOT to say that HL is plagued by that or that other stocks under 10 bucks are in that category. I have seen many stocks at 9 bucks go all the way to say 50+. Just keep in mind, again, that it might be even more of a wild ride than say being in a more high priced stock that has more volume in it and more buyers.
If you are dip buying, stick with the STRONGEST names in the group. The more speculative names, like this under 10 dollar stocks, do less of them. Some of the better silver names are SLW, PAAS and SSRI.

speaking of gold and silver-
gold, tho it is still early in the week, looking good and picking up from its strength from last week.
Silver appears to be moving out of the low end of the range.
Keep in mind it is still early in the week but gold continues to show strength.

@yup, Just curious what your thoughts about why Sibanye Gold has not rebound better? I would have thought by now the troubles they had would have been worked out.

Gotta watch MUX like a hawk...odd selloff day makes me a tad nervous...has been a core holding since last year. They usually follow the spot price fairly evenly..not today..hopefully, just a blip. @ZACK6736...remember early this year, when the South African gold miners led the pack? Man, they were sizzling. I'm no pro, but, I think some of the oddities involved(down, on an up day for spot), is related to currency exchange issues, and, as simple as that..YUP I'm sure, will chime in. The Rand was weaker than the dollar for a long time...those Africans did "Production" in Rands...but, sales in Dollars, thus the higher % of profits...

@Zack
SBGL is acting like every single miner. GOld and silver pulled back and so did the miners. Until gold and silver get going, the miners are going to be lagging.
SBGL's price action is pretty much like all the others right now.
What is needed is a lot of time going forward.

Heads up, if you own any mining stocks right now, you should be paying attention to what they say, I believe today or tomorrow we have CDE, ABX AEM and NEM all reporting.
I personally dont waste time with these sort of things, I dont care about fundamentals,(nor do I have the time) only price, I dont care about the how, why, what etc. But if that is your sort of thing, then take the time to listen to the conference calls and what these companies say
more importantly, tho, watch how do they react on their ER and after words in terms of price. Do their stocks spike up on that day or spike lower? Do they drift higher or drift lower after their earnings reports,,, pay attention

so far AEM, ABX, CDE looking the best from their ERs and the reaction the best, NEM ugly.
However, markets not having it and really doesn't want miners for the time being. They will however re-visit the better names with good ERs when the time is right for the market to re-vist the miners so dont lose sight of these names.
