Silver Ends Week With Best Run In 3 Years

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Silver closes at a 4-month high as the grey metal closes green for the sixth week-in-a-row. This is the longest winning streak since the highs reached in April 2011 as safe-haven buying and CCFD unwinds are squeezing the shorts and dragging Silver +10% year-to-date (just behind gold).

 

Silver is +15% from the early June Qingdao China ponzi fraud discovery...

What makes silver so interesting to watch is its inevitable rise to the 15-to-1 ratio with gold.   It will eventually come.

The price action in the miners has been very interesting this week especially, and over the past month. The normal takedowns have not stuck and the prices have re-bounded rather than continued downward.

Yesterday saw the 2PM takedown as the whole group of miners dropped sharply on new news, yet re-bounded today.

In summary, just the usual suspects trying to lure money in to rape them in the end. Easy to trade short term, you just have to book profits quickly and don't get greedy.

>> assuming you're still alive

That is the big question mark. 

>> haven't had to sell your stack to buy food

It doesn't appear I'll ever have to sell my "stack" for anything.  But, certainly, I'd rather reap the rewards of a shrewd decision during a part of my life where I can enjoy it.  Having deep pockets in a nursing home or delighted heirs isn't high on my agenda.

AFA food goes, I'm buried in food.  I'm having to severely curtail my gardening/canning as I've got years of supply.  My fruit orchard had it's first productive harvest this year so I'm expecting an increasing harvest for the next several years.  Food, at least for now, isn't an issue.

Silver and gold are seriously underpriced compared to the massively overpriced stocks and houses. Even oil is a tad underpriced right now.

you're a riot, MsCreant. I enjoy your posts. Loosen your Bra; yeah, might allow more blood to blow to the brain; which might or might not do any good. As Mark Twain famously remarked, I'm no longer worried about the return on my money, I'm worried about the return of my money. It's entirely a matter of time. If your time line to to need those savings, is five years or more, then Silver wins hands down. The devaluation of the currenciy has been going on for a hundred years, no rational person with any information at all available to them can imagine any scenario in which this will not continue; and indeed; every indication we have is that this process will accellerate. Gold is only for people who didn't do their homework, or are embarrased at the prospect of making more real return in buying power. Gold attracts the attention of Govts. and Central Banks, while Silver prices move in the same direction for the same reasons, but through a greater percentage; without the unfavorable attention.

Hammering out a bottom. What a fitting term for the price action.

Silver is SOOOOO underpriced, by at least an order of magnitude, that I view the current price rise as nothing more than noise. Fiat money issuance and corresponding wealth transfer is out of control, and the Tyler's are getting excited about a blip in a virtually flatline chart? I'll start getting interested AND alarmed when it breaks out past $40, because that will signal the beginning of the end of life as we know it. There will NOT be another significant silver (or gold) rally this side of normal.

I don't know about an order of magnitude, at least at this time; but $45 is a lot closer to a realistic price than 21$.

Both gold and silver have excellent charts at the moment and are advancing off of triple bottoms. No one knows if this is a breakout, but it is beginning to smell like one. It's probably a good time to buy silver, because if this is a breakout we may never see these low prices again. 

I still think we could see much lower silver and gold prices. The key word is here is could. With the degree of manipulation we are seeing, anything is possible. I would not be shocked to see $16 or $17 dollar silver, but at the same time that is about as low as it can go in my opinion - without some type of economic miracle. 

Buying at $21 with a downside risk of perhaps 25% is pretty good, when the upside potential is more than 1000%. And the downside risk is in the near term, and it will only be paper losses that won't last very long - if it even happens. 

So, what is the best way to buy silver? By far the best way is to buy Franklin Half Dollars. Today you can get them for low premiums and once they are gone (no longer available on the Internet) you will be able to sell them for 50%+ premiums. When silver is at $100, you will be able to sell them for $150 for the silver content. The premiums will explode once they are all gone. And trust me, if we have a move to $100 silver, these coins will not last long.

I personally prefer to get them at Apmex.com because they have a big inventory and have good service. But shop around for the best prices if you want.
