I heard an interesting perspective today.

What do you think will cause you to feel more pressure, holding your metal now as the prices drop or selling your metal later when the dollar drops.

Made me think...
 
Neither. They are one and the same.
Whether you are holding or selling, the value, purchasing power, and losses are both real and the same.
If you don't see it from this perspective, the only one you are kidding is yourself. :)

If you worried about your dollars/pm metals dropped sell it to me .

Still buying all sorts of right thinz.
 
The dollar dropping doesn't necessarily mean that silver is rising....the relationship between silver and the dollar is casual, not causal.

The lower the price goes, the easier it is to hold.
The higher the price goes, the easier it is to sell.
Explains the high green candlesticks at bottoms.
Explains the high red candlesticks at tops.

The topics question is actually a price question, relative to other prices.
If the price goes up from now, then those that have sold will have been the suckers.
If the price goes further down from now, then those that did not sell will have been the suckers. Yet they will still suck more than those that sold higher before them (read: 3-4 years sucking less).

It depends on the future price trend.
Losses can return to gains.
Gains can return to losses.
Some sold, and now hope that others sell lower back to them.
Something to take into account. :)

Of course "not necessarily".
But there is a tendency / correlation that is quite strong, and thus worth taking into account.
 
silver isn't an investment for me, it's a choice to have an asset instead of a promise.

An investment only materializes when trading it away.
This is true for all markets, with the exception of futures markets, where a position accumulates or loses dollars on the fly with the price at the same speed.
