It's good to have people with different stand points I guess, And usually CJ's posts liven a few people up. Cheaper the better, Im on a 10-15 year time scale so long as you all keep buying iphones and TV's I will know my investment is safe for then.
I have to say your jingle is amusing in a corny kind of way. I'm not heavy into silver, if I was and bought at over 30 I wouldn't be happy.
I have seen the reference to 10-15 year time frames for stacking, and to be honest, I do not see it. I look at the USA and it's creative accounting measures. The EU markets are in a mess, and unlikely to turnaround in the next 10 or so years. ie Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Ireland et al. Japan, for want of a better description is underwater. China has it's own very large problems which has the potential to affect Australia and South America substantially. The UK, from an outsiders viewpoint is degenerating fast and France is not too far behind. Globally, the world is in a mess. Whilst I do not have a crystal ball to see into the future, I would not be surprised if we were in a full-blown depression within 3-5 years. 10-15 years stacking time is, in my view, incredibly optimistic and possibly myopic! Whilst I do not like the possibility, and wish I was wrong, I can at this stage only conclude that a depression is not to far away.
that's a cop out, you're here because you like to annoy people mate - it's pretty obvious. There is no reason I can see why you'd bother posting in the silver section.
Boston I agree with your analysis and sentiment, and continue to load my truck; however the silver price is not paying any attention to my logic...
I can't, or won't, comment on the price. My comment was in regards to the stacking time frame of 10-15 years.
I see the Silver price went down to AU$21 then straight back to its AU$21.75 trend. Now this morning it is dropping again towards $21.00. If that was some sort of 'dead-cat bounce' then this 'drop' could go below AU$21. Under AU$21 is my buy in price. Not backing up the truck...but I have the 'averaging down' wheelbarrow handy. Watching with interest. As for stock market peaks and troughs (recessions), there is usually a 9 or 10 year cycle. That means around 2018 things should be looking up. On the other hand, if you look at Japans previous property bubble, their economy took much more time than a decade to recover. In that case economies that witnessed a property bubble like the U.S could be going 'sideways' for quite a long time. Australia?..we are a giant quarry, so while our resources exist and are required, we'll be ok. One of the indicators for a recovery is increasing inner-city real estate prices. When you see that trend, we are on our way again.

Just like when you are on a long journey...and almost two hours driving. now making a U turn. almost forgot. You left the key on your safe. Its really ....
I tend to agree we are on decline into some bad times, but would'nt that be good fir PM prices? Obviously the currency can't be in good shape in such times and that is usually a positive for PM's 10-15 was my longest wait, I was hoping for the moon in next few years..
