<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1113107, member: 13650"]I don't know. I look at the charts now and I'm getting more skeptical. How much longer can this go on? As recently as Jan. 09 we were looking at 11.00! Just 2 years ago. 2010 started off at 16.00. Ended in the upper 20s. Now only 2 months into 2011, we're looking at low to mid 30s. So that's tripling your money in 3 years. That's extreme for any investment. Do we assume this is the new floor? It wasn't that long ago, people were saying you couldn't lose in the housing market either.</p><p> </p><p> As a perspective, the banks are offering around 1% on a savings account these days which would take you over 70 years just to double your money. Surely there's lots of people jumping on the silver band wagon now. Are these real, solid gains or panic driven?</p><p><br /></p><p> Just look at the charts and how brief these recent levels have maintained. I can't believe people are so anxious to dive in as it's climbing faster than it ever has before. I guess I'd just be careful about buying large amounts right now, without letting a little more time pass. It's so volatile, that it's surprising so many people are looking to get in. It's got just as much of a chance of going to 50 as it does back down to 15. </p><p> If the banks ever pay any interest again, I can see a lot of people taking their profits off the silver highs and re-investing in the safety of something else.</p><p><br /></p><p> At some point, the bloom is off the rose and PMs are going to hit the back burner again. It's called buying low, selling high. We don't know the future, but we do know we're at 30 year highs right now. Make of it what you will.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
