I'm not sure if your happy with his decision or rubbing his nose in it I sold off 4/10 ounce vintage JM bars a few months ago at $35/ounce... I forgot about the listing in the classified until someone else asked about them. Oops, I thought about it but sold them anyway I bought them right, so I could sell them right Hindsight being what it is...IS What's the saying, no one has lost money taking a profit. With Prices where they are, I find myself thinking about selling some everyday...just because I've been sitting on my hoard for the better part of 25 years The 12% gains in the weeks time make for some interesting decisions.
Cashed out some myself. To continue my silver position, I put 30% of it into SLV, the silver ETF Less friction in or out If it goes to 100, happy happy If there a 10% drop I’d just add to the position
Holy shnikes! Plan to buy some more ASEs tomorrow just in case. Not too many...maybe only about 2-3, but something is better than nothing. Plus, I've got an 'in the black' dollar cost average going at the moment.
Happy of course. It’s his life and his choice. He made the decision that he felt was right for him. You can’t find fault either a person that does that.
Historically, silver moves late in a PM move upward. So when silver is rising it's a sign that the last/marginal buyers are moving in and buying.... and want a lower-priced, more leveraged play than gold. That's what scares me.
Down a little again today. Two steps forward and one step backwards. I would like to see silver break the $60.00 mark.
That isn't what is happening with silver right now. Silver markets are facing the inevitability of a supply shock.
What's the nature of this "supply" shock ? They are often talked about but EXTREMELY rare in occurrence. Arab Oil Embargo 1973, Volkswagen Short 2008, Gamestop Short 2021.....there's a few more, but not many. What will cause this short spike....what kind of move are we/you looking for ?
In the long run silver will continue to rise in price. Solar panels need silver. AI needs silver. Electric vehicles need silver. Industrial demand for silver is increasing. Silver mining is declining. The Fed cutting interest rates. There are other reasons but it all boils down to low supplies and higher demand. As the US dollar continues to lose its value people turn to silver and other PM’s to protect their money. All of these things are happening before our eyes. Some folks see it and others do not. Silver is an investment. It’s used to not only grow but to protect wealth.
I never take into account the "Fed cutting interest rates" as a LONG-TERM reason to be bullish on a commodity. The other variables you cite are ALL LEGIT...but the quantity and impact are unknown. We've had a solar boom for 2 decades and silver was lousy for most of that time. Silver is usually a by-product at mines; not sure about the silver supply/mining situation but it might not be that material. I don't think the people moving their $$$ into PMs/gold/silver is valid. When the dollar is in another 7-year upturn, this rationale for higher PM prices will no longer be valid.
