Answers reflect the ridiculous question and most likely the troll who asked it.
Fair dinkum, you get paid for this crap pirocco otherwise you wouldnt do it. You certainly dont give a stuff about anyone else with your ego stoking.
You being serious EM? Chill out man.
He's right about the question.
It's provocative, and also on purpose. How Evil!
What could be the Evil intentions of the pirocco crap?
Maybe I'm paid to spread negativism.
Maybe I try to scare people away from silver.
Maybe there are other maybe's.
I thought it addressed, in abit humorous-exaggerant way, a current thought of many now, including me.
Isn't it just a realistic thought that the price of silver could go sideways for a long time to come?
Because:
- In the end, everybody that buys silver as storage of value, has the intention to sell it again. It's all silver just temporarly stockpiled, and this
implies that the price effect is temporarly too. That's just logic.
- We have had a decade of accumulating stocks/stacks. Just look at the coin sales figures and the implied net (dis) investment item on thesilverinstitutes supply/demand.
- A while ago I made the sum of all the coin sales figures I knew since 2000. Together with the ETF stocks (as reflected by aboves 'implied net investment'), they form about an entire annual supply silver. Even 2012 wasn't an implied net DISinvestment year, while the price average dropped ($35>$31) nevertheless, clearly showing that newly mined silver didnt find anymore the demand it previously did find (since 2011 ETF's ceased to add).
- The flat price during 1980-2000 was due to the sales of stocks accumulated in the 1970-1980 period. These sales undid inflation compensation, so other prices rose, silvers didn't, and golds one was held flat along CB sales (there are remarkable sales figures discrepancies between gold and silver, clearly indicating the impact of CB activity).
There are other scenarios of course. In the end, the role of storage of value is dynamically relocated to those products whose price increases lagged most others. But todays silver is still 4 times the 2000 price, so it's not like that it became dirt cheap now with that $20. In some past the claim was made, and true, that silver is a small market, not much money in it. Yet, some years ago, that truth ceased to be a truth. In my signatures topic is a calculation that proves it (post 55). The amount dollars moved in the silver market was in its $35-average year 2011, 59 times the amount it was in 2000. A market that became 59 times bigger, isn't a small market anymore isn't it? So the argument (that some make) that a small market only needs a fraction of other markets (dollar, euro, stocks, ...) money to see its price driven to the sky, was 59 times less applicable than it was before.
That 'ego stoking', I don't get though.
It's not like that I sit here with big profits and wanna show it off to all those in the Red now.
My stacks average is $30, and I said that many times here, so there isn't much 'ego' to show off, isn't it?
I try to do better now, using what I learnt, to average down quicker/more and the question of this topic, is asked from this perspective.

Perhaps in 2014 pirocco will only make posts less than 10 lines long.
Less than 10 metres would do.
?
We are now 2014. I made a topic. Simple and clear and short question, short oneliner openings post. Guess what? It's again not good haha.
