Say what you will about RawDog's style of communication, but the guy is smart when it comes to how to invest his money. He stacks silver when he sees the opportunity to get it lower than he can sell it easily for. He sells silver when he knows it's a good time to sell and move that capital into another asset (could be gold or some other asset). That's being smart with his money, regardless if he irritates some people or not. .
What I especially like him for (I never watched a video, just based on talk about him, I think he had / has a website) is that he says what he thinks and also does himself. That, is rare. If we were all RawDogs with eachother, the central planning thieves may fail quicker and harder.
Got all my hopes up and shit and now it went all down hill. Can you tell me why you put money into silver? I use to think that silver would go up to atleast 100 per ounce by the year 2020 due to all these manipulations and such.
I put my money into silver to show my middlefinger to the central planning thieves and their buddies. I didn't have price expectations. Price expectations are useless since the relative to other prices matters not the relative to zero. My goal was to try to evade the central planned theft. If I have to lose (due to paying too much), I rather prefer to lose to another silver stacker than to them. I try to make better decisions. That's work, not hope.
I agree with you there Pirocco, I would rather lose my hard earned cash by making a few poor decisions than have it stolen off me like the banks did in Cyprus.
It doesn't need any Cyprus to get your purchasing power stolen. Just some years deposited, but actually lent out to lazybutts, that buy stuff with it, driving prices of stuff up, while banks make sure that my average 'interest' rate is too low to compensate for it, then I want to buy stuff, have to do that at the higher prices, byebye purchasing power. So what do I do: I buy stuff directly. Thing is, can't stockpile bread/whatever for decades so have to buy something to store the value, and those markets they frontrun too, thereby stealing too, so have to evade paying the part of the price they were responsible for, which in turn requires some ways to measure it. To screw the thieves, more have to do this, hence I publish numbers and blabla now and then.
I buy silver to get out of fiat. Even without silver going up, the lunars appreciate anyway.. no brainer.
26/08/2014 37319 $19.39 <- same price, 37319x5000=186.6 Moz silver hedged in the spot/cash market. 19/08/2014 37383 $19.40 12/08/2014 43726 $19.98 05/08/2014 48203 $19.82 29/07/2014 56583 $20.530 22/07/2014 58347 $20.860 15/07/2014 58696 $20.760 08/07/2014 58018 $21.070 01/07/2014 51955 $21.000 24/06/2014 42987 $20.670 17/06/2014 22838 $19.640 10/06/2014 14322 $19.210 03/06/2014 9640 $18.780 27/05/2014 14230 $19.08 20/05/2014 17597 $19.44 <- 17597x5000=88Moz silver hedged in the spot/cash market. Every 70Moz (very rough figure based on average position and price movements in recent years) is about a price dollar. 186.6-88 Moz = 98.6 Moz which thus is about 1.41 price dollars. So when the future hedge will be decreased to that same 20/05/2014 amount, $19.39-1.41=$18. So just like last week, $18 is worth waiting for, and $17 too if the hedge is dumped again to decade recordlows. Around the 9/11 crisis, the hedge had a cluster of about 10 of these lows. The Asian Contagion Crisis had 5. We already have had 10 in the present, most of them during the period late may to early juli 2013. We are now 2/3 of a typical 3 months price cycle in recent years. End september/october would then be another one. This all on condition that no new elements pop up. Conclusion: things changed again to the downside. If the futures hedge in the price is higher at a same price, then it means others sold, and they replaced them. It's not sure that the hedge will be lowered further, sometimes they hold a high one for years alike mid 2009-early 2011. But then ETFs were buying alot. Not this time. So don't bet on it.
Know what, this is exactly what I meant. I was a couple months in silver back then, I saw price running up from $32 to $50 and had a hard time to understand how people could be so dumb that they paid prices that went even beyond the dollar creation, let alone the spending of them. I saw people on the Kitco forum ridiculizing those that had the same thought as me (although I was newbie then, hadn't much to say on the forum, just mostly read passively). I also saw such price fall coming (anyone with the slightest feel for reality should have), and I placed 2 posts to say it. Just like Rawdog (can't check it, just assume you're right) then. https://www.kitcomm.com/showpost.php?p=1315746&postcount=26 https://www.kitcomm.com/showpost.php?p=1307963&postcount=26 Back then I didn't know what a futures market was so that JP Morgan mentioning was just from unawareness.

Get the difference? How funny (sick?) is it? Many thousands (just a guess) must have sit on the edge of their chair with their fist hovering their 'SELL' button. Every price dollar is 70 Moz. Price mowed down $18. Over 1 worlds total annual supply/demand must have bought, and sold, during march and april. 1200 Moz or so. Yet, on forums it was all to the moon and $doubletoday and last chance to buy in etcetera. How obvious (sick?) is it? They needed suckers to pay those higher prices, and their profit, and that's why you didn't hear anything but moons and last chance and bah. How I know aboves quoted user sold near that $49? Because someone else praised and thanked him, for his 'hint' (private message?) to get out. What this user did opened my eyes, and it's when I ceased to believe anything anymore just like that. Whoever claims it, professional trader, guru, dealer, ... Because vested interest talk puts them together in the same bucket anyway.
I would love to reread the may 6 one, but the link goes to 25th, and I've long lost my Kitco login details.
I copied a wrong link, should have been https://www.kitcomm.com/showthread....never-going-to-sell-what-benefit-is-it-to-you - and it's from 7 not 6 may While searching for it I came across this, that I didn't see until now, a day earlier: 6 may 2011 https://www.kitcomm.com/showthread....old-physical-at-the-top&p=1346165#post1346165 Just shows the difference between the dozen positivity threads, the bla bla, and the opposite action.

Thanks - remember spending hours reading that forum, while the world was distracted by Bin laden. I really can't be bothered with a new account. And, Pirocco, I appreciate your posts - you bring a perspective which uses original thought, although not always accurate it's a refreshing change from the recycled bullshit. The fact that English may not be your first language, yet you express yourself better than many on this forum is also impressive.
