<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 423356, member: 3011"]I'm sure that a few people bought silver back in 1980 at $40+, but that's really irrelevant to today. They purchased it during the final phase of a blow-off. If you want to avoid having this happen to you, make sure you don't buy any silver once the price begins to move up several dollars per day for a few weeks. We aren't in that situation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your cost basis is also irrelevant to the buy/sell decision. It doesn't matter whether you bought at $5 or $20. What matters is the probability of gain vs the probability of loss from this point on. I think it is more likely to be higher than lower a few years from now. Everyone will have to make that determination for themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, silver is still pretty cheap on an inflation adjusted basis, probably equal to about $3-$4 in late 70s purchasing power.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
