<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buyingsilvers, post: 1309798, member: 18821&quot;]Well, nothing in life is ever absolutely good or bad.&nbsp; Short positions can be a useful tool.&nbsp; I&#039;ve thought about entering a smaller long term short position in the metals to help offset the larger physical position that I do have.This way, if the price of metals get slammed, at least the value of the short increases, and acts as a cushion against the loss in value of the metals.&nbsp; Of course, this will also reduce the unrealized gain when metals increase.</p><p><br /></p><p>the strategy could go something like: as the price of silver increases by 10%, increase the short position by X amount, repeat every increase.&nbsp; Then when the price of silver plummets by 10%, decrease the short position by X amount, and repeat every decrease.&nbsp; As you&#039;re liquidating the short position when the price of the metals fall, you could use that money to increase physical holdings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
