It is not rising much or dropping much. 10% swings in such a volatile metal is meaningless. I buy at every opportunity, regardless of the spot, though always looking for the best price.
This is a silver stackers forum. I stack silver. Silver is its own reward. I am a fundamentalist, not an investor. If a drop of $2 is enough to scare you away, you shouldn't be stacking silver, and more importantly, you shouldn't be on this forum.
Bugger off naysayers!
Some of us are gaining by shorting silver. Yes I own silver and gold, but I am net short via hedges. If the thought of silver dropping another 50% doesn't bother you, you shouldn't be fundamentaling or whatever you would call it. Probably before the end of the month, the June lows will be taken out on gold and silver. The pm market changed a year ago. Few people saw that at the time and unfortunately, I wasn't one of them. But for the last 6-7 months, I have been protecting my assets and even profiting from shorting silver.
Why should silver dropping 50% bother me. As unlikely as it is, as it will fall below production costs, it is a further opportunity to buy more silver. You don't seem to understand stacking. Stacking is an accumulation! My income is not dependant on silver, it is a follow-on from earnings. You and others of your ilk are investors - hop on investing forums. Your opinions and research are valid, but who needs to hear them.
You are like the guy who saves his virginity for the right girl. You may be happy in the far future, but you sure have missed out on a lot of roots!
I am making money while you are losing money, so I would say that I am much happier with my investing than you are with your stacking. As far as the cost of production, it can and likely will fall, especially if oil drops more in price. Miners are squeezing suppliers for lower costs even as I type.
If silver dropping to $9 doesn't bother you, good for you. But you have been cheerleading others to follow your example and almost everyone else would be extremely upset to see their silver fall another 50%.
I bought most of my silver in 2007-2010 at prices below $20. I sold my ASEs earlier this year and I am slowing selling the semi numis on ebay. Last night, my ebay client dropped off a check for $5336 for the sale of 125 coins. That is over $42 per coin. Should silver drop to $9, then I could effectively buy 500 ounces with the proceeds from the 125 I purchased 3 years ago. Quadrupling silver ounces in 4 years without spending any additional money seems like very good stacking to me. Should I put that money into DSLV and silver goes to $9, then DSLV will go up 125-150%. That multiplies my ability to stack even further. Just because someone doesn't stack according to your schedule, doesn't mean they are wrong in their methodology.
