[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 1720058, member: 37498"]Assuming you could predict the market, I would think one should buy at the very bottom of the largest dips. Since nobody can reliably predict the market, how do you know when it's "on the way down", or "on the way up", or at the bottom, or at the top? When would you consider it to be "on the way up"? After several consecutive days of gains? If you're looking to buy, and you missed out on several consecutive days of gains, I'd say those became several consecutive days of losses for you since you didn't buy. If the OP is looking to buy "a one ouncer", and has this much time and invest in this purchase, maybe he should focus on the premium instead of spot price.

Keep in mind that the cost of driving to meet someone will eat into your profits when you're buying and selling one ounce of silver. Or, you could always trade something for an ASE.
