I note you only parted with half your stack and can see the sense of selling and getting back in on a lower price but I personally think the time for this type of practice is growing shorter with the current climate, paper traders have the sort of instant option to jump in and out in minutes but replacing phys is and can be a lot more complicated on sharp rises especially.
A lot of smart commentators are saying exactly this. That 'the plan' is to get physical out of the market place at low rates.
I could be wrong but I see the physical market as a giant vacuum funnel, pulling physical up and up into 1000oz bars and few hands, leaving fairly paltry amounts of silver held in private hands.
Does anyone know where all that 'We Buy Your Gold' gold goes to?
That statement is illogical as there was a crash in silver and gold from the 1980's til 2000. If that was their plan would it not make more sense to buy all the gold and silver they want at super reduced prices but obviously not, as most countries sold precious metals in that point of time.
