[QUOTE="dave92029, post: 998885, member: 26916"]I'm an accountant so lets run the numbers. Lets assume that you have $10,000 to invest in silver ASE. At $20.80 a 1% move is $.21, so the price could go down to $20.59 or up to $21.01 for that 1%. On a $10,000 investment 1% is equal to $100. A hundred dollars is a lot of money but when investing ten thousand dollars it doesn't seem like so much. Is timing your purchase to make an extra $100 needed to make a profit on $10,000? If Silver goes to $22 from $20.80 that is 5.7% increase. Based on the premiums/ discounts that dealers charge, (difference between Bid and Ask prices), you wouldn't break even. Based on the spread between Bid and Ask prices, PM must be a long term investment in order to make any money or you need to be risking Millions of $$.
