huntergatherer Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Winners "V" Losers of 2011 (W) - Physical Metals vs (L) Mining Shares Silver down 10% is not a winner It is compared to the XGD or most Gold/Silver mining stocks Winners - Those that know when to get in when to get out. Losers - The rest of us. Same as every other year. http://forums.silverstackers.com/message-271109.html#p271109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klogger Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 An interesting article looking at the GSR, mined amounts and current industrial usage of silver. The article predict a final price of $500 and uses data going back to 1344 with an all time high of $806 in 1477.

Carlton Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 ^^ Bullish or bearish? That is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G0ldfinger Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Oops. I messed up. Anyway, I think it is bullish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50sQuiff Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I think it would be more telling to see the number of buyers rather than the absolute number or coins sold. I suspect relatively small numbers of people are buying a LOT of coins. A bit like sovereigns in the UK, which are bought in volume for the tax benefits.

romans holiday Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 The Dangers Of Leveraged ETFs For every dip, you need a greater rise to break even. The disparity is amplified by leveraging. If you work out the math, for 3X leverage, the rise has to be just greater than d/(1-3*d). So for a 10% dip in the non-leveraged ETF, it needs to recover by 14.28% in order for the leveraged ETF to break even! http://seekingalpha.com/article/309261-the-dangers-of-leveraged-etfs Leveraged Silver ETF Plunges Nearly 40% from Peak http://www.etftrends.com/2011/05/leveraged-silver-etf-plunges-nearly-40-from-peak/ So far, so good.

Perishabull Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 So far, so good. Kudos to you Roman, your timing there was very good. That'll look very impressive if silver gets back up to (and perhaps beyond) it's high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romans holiday Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Kudos to you Roman, your timing there was very good. That'll look very impressive if silver gets back up to (and perhaps beyond) it's high. Cheers. May take a year or so to break the high. If silver suddenly spiked to 50 sometime within the next few months I'd consider selling. Otherwise, will hold on for a couple of years for the spike to 100.... should we get it.

romans holiday Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 History might just repeat itself here - in inverse order. Or could go to 70 odd before heading down again. If the metal swap arrangements still hold at goldmoney, will think about swapping the precious for the volatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G0ldfinger Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 ps. Like to put a rough guesstimate date on the G:S ratio forecast? 1yr/3yr/5yr?? Thanks GF. You mean regarding the post quoted below? Should history really repeat in a time-inverted manner, we seem to be looking at 3.5(+/-1) years here. Personally, I think it could happen within the next two. History might just repeat itself here - in inverse order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G0ldfinger Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Or could go to 70 odd before heading down again. If the metal swap arrangements still hold at goldmoney, will think about swapping the precious for the volatile. Yes, I might too if that occured. But I am not sure we will see the ratio that high again before we bottom out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunlee Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Silver is just looking super bullish this morning, already up nearly a dollar on the day. If we don't see a sudden fall within ten minutes of the Comex opening we could easily reach 35 this week. Silver has also been correlating quite well with the euro recently, what looks to be the recent bottoming of the euro adds more power to the silver bulls.

geisaver Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm looking at silver prices today and wondering why things are trading differently. For example spot silver is down from yesterday, Comex is about level, a share like Silver Wheaton is down as you would expect being a streamer but Proshares Ultra Silver is up, iShares Silver Trust is up, etc. Is there an arbitrage here somewhere? Is the spot price largely irrelevant as the Comex price moves everything? Is there usually an order to how things move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicarious Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Why do you think so? as pan American have bought out minefinders I was wondering if anyone had a strong opinion on the stock or if I should put the money into a different miner?
