We have now reach a weak support at $23 from Oct-Nov 2010 and seems to be bouncing. Chances are it will be beached. It doesn't look like I will sleep tonight.
GSR hit 60 and the Dixie is still unmoved... this is surreal. I see that $23 support. Maybe sideways into Crimex open from here
Is any one looking at the volume for today....OMG, OMG OMG!! Lets think about this...For every SHORT, there is a LONG. If there is so much selling, someone else is buying ALOT! Now, who the heck is buying all this paper selling?.....my guess is all the bullion banks......if that is the case.....They will be NET LONG when all this is done!!! I am NOT sleeping tonight!
I agree, but remember, a decrease in price means that there were more sellers than buyers at $26, $25, $24, $23.
But what matters for the spot price? If supply side has an equal number long and short positions, which implicits the same on the demand side, then the spot price reflects, NET, NO futures positions. Abit like if I sell 1000 silver to you, then NET nobody buys/sells from/to the supply chain. Our trade didnt affect the price. It's only if I sell you 800 ounces and you want 1000, that you have to buy the remainder, 200, at a dealer from the supply chain. The same applies to any market side and to the market as a whole, in the form of the price mechanism. So in this aspect, your 'record' does not matter, because it's not the number positions that matters for the price, but the position difference. And that position difference was 18000 last wednesday, same level as 2008's bottom. At zero, the Comex stops having a share in the spot price, because they only trade with eachother, just like my you and me trade example. Am I saying something wrong here?

Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh baby!!!!! :lol: Been waiting for this set up to fire for about 18 months, and the wait has been well worth it! Patience is a virtue. T/A has been totally validated yet again, the nay sayers can read it and weep. Once completed, I will post the mechanics of the last couple of days trading.
Good work dude. Been wondering how you (and a couple of others) had been faring. -::-R-::-E-::-S-:-::-E-::-C-::-T-::-
I have been away from home since last week, so difficult to post meaningful charts during these moves - let alone manage my positions on an iphone. However, for the heads up start at posts #3 & #10 of this thread.
Haha, it's all good, I am only messing. I struggle with charts. Anytime I try plot something on them, it never does what I thought.
I really have to fix up this mentality game. It is sooooo obvious what will happen the moment 26 was taken out. But why do I stand aside and watch? Why don't I go short instead of waiting for $20? There were soooo many clues where we are going, especially on the smaller time frame charts. Even more so where we finished off on Friday. I have an order going long after friday close with 20c stop. Why didn't set up an order going short with 20c stop? Like wise with the $23 support/resistance line.
Good work... congratulations, your posts have been most valuable as have the other contributors. If you don't mind me asking have you closed your short positions? Are you now long? Personally I closed out a few of my short gold last night, but am still waiting on 2130. Still not game to go long even at these prices. My entry point will be when the 18DMA is pointing up. Please keep us posted wrcmad, gonna be fun on the way up
It is a matter of "IF and THEN" scenario. If $26 falls, then it is a rush down. I was saying before, Paper Trumps Physical. If the rumors are right it is 100:1. I am in the camp that the BIS/FED is manipulating PM. All they have to do is limit a rally and 'setup a technical picture', and then the managed funds and everyone else does the rest. If that is the case, why not go along with the ride? This is a real mentality game for me. The good news is that once we reach $20, it will bounce back up as quickly as it came down....unless of course the BIS/FED intervene and setup another technical picture by limiting the rally. They probably have alot of ammo to do this as I believe they are net long by now..we shall see.
but seriously though went to sign up to CDF broker last night and they wouldn't make my account live to many hoops, 200 bucks or so on sell last night wake up this morning with a big smile, oh well not to worry, now why is silver going down so fast ? lots are making a killing on the way down , well done to all those who are
Could it be the green light ? $18's or $20's ? hummmm Will Ben fix the banks "AGAIN" with more strategic monetary moves ? cheers Trader10
