Someone I know when pering in a shiny glass may have hypothetically sold 1/4 of a stack and covered the rest of the 3/4 stack purchase price. That person gets an Attaboy, but could have hypothetically sold a little later and done Very well. Hindsight being what it is I'd say they did well.
my average for my ASE stack is well under $30 oz ... so this run up for valuation ain't so bad. The New USMINT silver stuff though is killing my pocketbook.
going down a bit so far today but still above 60 right now. years ago I used to drive a silver thread on what was driving price changes. I think ppl got tired of that. being an economist I sometimes strive too much on understanding outside pressures on pricing and determining pricing models in order to understand investing strategies. I still do this alot of stocks and market segments for my investments.
Back up to $62.30, up 2% today after a brief drop pre-open Speculation coming back into the market US interest rates hold. War risks reduced Being into year 6 of a supply/demand worldwide deficit still rules Not getting any easier or cheaper to mine anything, anywhere One year ago $40-45 silver was just in our dreams. Just saying
Silver demand is higher than ever and silver production is lower than it has been. More items manufactured today require silver than a few years ago. The string dollar is holding it back from its potential. Just a matter of time.
Price only looks depressed compared to the blow-off towards $115 from $70. Holding in the $60's isn't that bad.
I think applying that to stocks and bonds is one thing where moves are contained except for a few individual stocks or sectors. But to have an entire commodity like silver quadruple in 12-18 months and attract speculative, hot flow....that's different than stocks or bonds where fundamental analysis can play a role. Not sure how a non-dividend, non-cash flow generating metal is looked at.
