Parabolic Flight To Silver, As April Crude Touches $98.48, Irrelevant Dollar Unch

Tyler Durden's picture




 

There was a time, long ago, when the dollar was a flight to safety instrument. Those days are gone. DXY barely budging as the overnight session begins, while silver has already put $34 in the dust. Last: $34.26 and parabolic.

April Crude lieterally flying off the shelves. All those who thought the 4 pm price was a misprint and shorted... our condolences.

Time to announce 10 emergency POMOs tomorrow... or else

Noticeable absence in all of this "Flight To Safety": $USD. 

That's significant and a harbinger of a change in sentiment: first place big money turned for safety: Gold, Silver, Oil, tangibles. Dollar?? Geddouta here !

We all have the same fear that maybe a trap but think of it this way.
Sell your gold and silver for "What" paper currency that is becoming worthless every day?

The danger is in the paper game,play is as you see it,make fiat money and convert to physical silver or gold.

This is a real bulls run on gold and silver,have no fear mates.

Oh, the predators-that-be can and will engineer more selloffs of silver and gold.  After all, fiat paper losses mean nothing to them, since they create unlimited fiat at zero cost, then multiply by 12, 20, 30, 40, 100 via various forms of fractional reserve practices.

However, the world at large is waking up to the scam.  The backwardization of the futures markets implies exactly what is happening... real, physical silver is not available at current prices.  That plus the price explosion of food prices and other real physical goods makes it just too damn easy to add 2 + 2 today.

So we have infinite fiat from the FederalReserve through its owner-agent JPMorons fighting the surpluses of [not-in-debt] productive countries and slowly but increasingly the savings of "regular folks" all over the globe.  It will be a knock down, drag out fight, but real goods will win and the dollar will collapse.

But not without whipsaws along the way.  Expect to see the government of the USSA propose (and possibly manage to pass) acts and statutes to require reporting of every transaction involving gold and silver.  Then expect to see them threaten to confiscate gold and silver from individuals.  But that will probably not be implemented, because they know this time they'll get more lead than gold.

Why do people have to take on so much responsibility?

Through sound money I think there would be less resource rape and more happiness. Greed is bad.

But if forced to I will play the game. I'm 100%PMs baby, no other investments aside from small mortgage

So string up the Illuminati, the Zionists, the Bilderbergs and the politicians but spare us common folk the guilt.

Call me a troll, but if the dollar was flat and silver rising because the dollar was a yesterday safe haven, then gold would not have drifted up, but rather be leading, and the dollar would be sharply down.

Silver is a gambler's metal.

I don't believe silver is up on "safety" except maybe in the way oil is up.

I also don't believe it is up on safety -- it is up on a short squeeze and, I believe, is breaking the paper price fixing game as the shortage of deliverable silver forces true price discovery.  It could go way, way, up and not come down.  This is not gambling -- many of us have been learning about this for many years . . . and waiting.

Then I shouldn't sell my 15 oz tomorrow?

Seriously though, can't it go down just as fast as it goes up?  That is the history of silver.  When does one sell?

"This time it's different" seems a little naive.  But, those of you who have studied the surpression for years could be right.  Good luck, in all sincerity.

Sufi,

Put your 15 ounces in a save place and don't worry about it.

If the world comes to an end, as some of these silver bulls think it might, maybe you can trade those ounces for a little food. Or maybe you can bribe a border guard to let you pass into Canada. But you'll probably just have to give your silver up at gunpoint to one of the guntoting revolutionarys who break into your home and threaten to kill you if you don't give up your treasure.

So, don't worry about it. Just try to hold it as an Ace in the hole.

good luck in the end times,

gh

50 is no longer out of the question over the next 4 months. Many had thought it would take the full year to get to 50. Thing is, there's nothing special about the 40 level. So, this swing could genuinely take us to 50 before the next correction. The action is really intense. There are just no sellers. Who can sell? Who can deliver the metal? Here's the saddest part: the backwardation and the tight physical market signaled this was coming. But many just couldn't pull the trigger. Oh well. Bull markets takes as few along as possible.

Yes, it's a great move, but relax people. The party is just getting started. I've been investing in silver (buy and hold) since 2004 and own 23 silver stocks. Most of them are up 100% and several over 500%.

Since I have been monitoring this market carefully since 2004, I can give a few insights. First, silver is extremely undervalued because of its rarity. There is less silver bullion above ground than gold. For that fact, it should be (and eventually will) valued at a ratio of 10 to 1. This is the ratio of silver to gold in the ground. Many think the ratio is 15, but it is 10. 

So, as of today, silver should be valued at (hold on to your hats) $140. Now, we won't get this ratio over night. But steadily the ratio will tighten. My forecast is that when gold reaches $2,000, silver will be $100. Which is a 20 ratio. This ratio might be a bit optimistic in the near term, but it will be close.

It's going to be fun watching the ratio tighten and silver rising. The beauty of silver is that there isn't enough physical. And as gold rises, silver will rise faster.

Also, Yen will have some downward pressure because of Moody's comment.

Eventually, dollor will go down but in 2-3 months we could see rally.

At the same time, precious metals will get pressure.

This kind of spike doesn't end well....

So, here's my question. It's probably quite amateurish with the many astute folks around here, but anyway.

Let say for the sake of protecting ones purchasing power rather than as an investment, someone's accumulated a little gold, say 30 ounces and a little more silver, say 250 ounces. Might it be to the advantage of this person to sell an ounce or two of gold, like this week, and use those funds to purchase more silver, as the action with that metal seems to be highly volatile, in the "positive sense", right now? Seems like one can't go wrong with either metal (as the dollar dies), but then again, silver, being considerably less in value per ounce compared to gold, may be easier to sell in one ounce units, down the road. 

Also, when one is actually purchasing both physical silver and gold to hold on to, long term, is there a ratio that's considered, i.e. for every ounce of Gold, 10 ounces of Silver? Or does it just boil down to personal preference, funds available and a veritable kaleidoscope of other factors based on this ever changing world we live in?

Mon, 02/21/2011 - 23:11 | 984065 sellstop
sellstop's picture

Just as a general rule, I find it more profitable to sell the volatile and buy the quiet. That is a short term thing. It is hard to say that because silver has went up dramatically in the last few months that it will continue to go up dramatically.

If you choose to sell your gold, you are selling an asset that is appreciating. If you do sell, and want to buy silver, you would most likely be better served to wait for the volatility to die down, and then look for the uptrend to continue. If your outlook is for the long term however, when and at what price you buy is largely irrelevant.

But, I find I am better able to hold a position if it gives me a profit from the start.Hence, waiting for the volatility to die down, and buying as volatility starts to rise in the direction I want the asset to move. Even if the price is higher I feel better when it immediatley moves in the direction that is profitable.

"He who loses the least, WINS!"

This spike is already off to the cliff, it's already down 2%.

I like precious metals, but guys calm down.

In terms of trading, it's risky to add more here.

If i were u, i'd take profits.

My point is that people are talking about some sort of moon shot to $40-36.

If somebody gives you this kind of spike stock chart, would you buy it?

If you had been on Sept 16 2010, guess you would have called cotton overbought. However, you would have missed the 100% increase after.

Even WTI is in red, and most of time spike doesn't end well.

That's my point. I would not add more here.

I'd rather take profits, or just enjoy the ride.

All i'm saying is that buying more from here could be risky.

it's parabolic, so there is sell side, but it should consolidate...like Brent, which is way overbought.  but they are safe havens or risk averse trades.  if anything gold will correct silver will spike.

i mean if Israel finally is allowed to strike at Iran...saudi's will hike oil, should drag the precious metals up = silver bid.

china starts to go bonkers and sends a warship or two...

I see the PPT is up early today goosing the markets in AH.  Nice gap up in the Russell(the love muscle) 2000.  Fucking amazing watching gold/silver get monkey hammered, oil trying to be monkey hammered, Japan being told by those wankers that they're broke (the biggest kept secret if ever there was one), Iran prod-ing Israel, ME protests growing, UDS kind of flat, and up go the US markets in AH.  I guess the flight to safety is now Russell2000 and ES.

A close today,Tuesday below 1398 on spot gold and or a close below 33.15 on spot silver will put a temporary end tothe metals bull.  Markets will bottom in June, and AT THAT POINT be the buy of a lifetime.  1040 gold and 23.00 silver will be a gift in June.  (when the newbies turn as bearish as they are bullish now..we all have to learn)

For General Info: talked to a friend in Vancouver, Canada; indicated that 4 out of 5 major coin vendors are completely out of silver Maples, 3-4 week delivery stated. 

100 oz bars available. 

10 oz bars arriving tomorrow. (expected to be cleared and gone by 23rd).

2 of the largest dealers have been coin dry for 4 weeks, and the 3-4 week keeps getting pushed out as the wait. Eagles available in small quantities but are going for 13% over spot. Overall buy/sell spread is has increased in favor of the dealers by 2-3% in 3 weeks.

For those buying / selling, good luck.

SPX futures down 15 earlier.  Now down 4?  I believe that the SPX has a strong inverse correlation to gravity.  Bernanke should have told the reporter the other day that the only inflation he's aware of is his freakin toy S&P balloon. He'll use Walmart and Lowes crummy numbers tomorrow to push it up another 40.

stocks in the US will be bid due to funds coming back into US markets, USD should be bid also, that's why silver/gold have been selling, but they are only consolidating.  look at your charts, you'll notice they will 50/100 MA's supports, in in 1hr lower bollinger supports. That's HFT stabilizing prices.

the ass will fall out if Israel does somthing, oil spikes up to 98 and UST's yeilds start to spike.  Stocks will sell off...

This Libya event is the only excuse they need now to tame metals. As I believed Thursday the only time you can bank on a sell off being designed from the Fed & PD's is when metals go parabolic. Ben needs silver, gold and oil down. Should be an interesting week to finally grasp just how micromanaged this entire market is by the Federal Reserve. Temporarily Ben will likely give us a large down day or a few back to back but by week's end unfortunately he will likely have oil tamed back at 85 and silver below 30 and then he can resume the ponzi levitation. Hell he may be content with this dip right here I suppose we will see at 4am.

     He truly believes he can go on doing this forever with the markets being impervious to geopolitical risk.

Anyway the 33 Liberty interns arrive at the desk in 10 minutes. This is my favorite time in the morning because it is when the straight shot V recovery begins on the S&P futures.

in a vain attempt to put the brakes on the surge. Too bad for the Fed, they don't know how to nor control people involved in civil conflict worldwide.
