I personally don't think it's going to go that low. But I could be wrong.

shite needs to go up so I can unload a ton of the physical I have. Can't complain though, because even though PMs are down, my stocks are sky high. Will take the latter going down for PMs to go up.

Yeah, I should probably give bitcoin a good look too since it's back below $400 again. Or not.

Interesting when you look at the manipulation.
The central banks are printing trillions and dumping it all into the stock market. Then shorting paper precious metals contracts with high speed trading.
Makes for excellent bonuses on Wall Street and plenty of Ferrari orders.
In the meantime, Main Street getting crushed with no decent jobs and soaring unemployment with piles of debt.

LINK


Just google Central Banks buying stocks - trillions floating all over.

Uber wealthy buying up physical SLV and GLD like mad. May be something to the theory of a huge take down leaving quadrillions in derivatives and debt to blow up?

No telling who to believe but what is obvious is there are no jobs being created and the middle class is being destroyed by low wages and inflation in housing, food and medical expenses ........

Two things one might, or might not wish to consider about picking some point to go long that would somewhat mitigate the Fed's stimulus beating the price down.

The all in cost of miners. This impacts supply. Miners simply shut down mines when prices reach these low levels.

Industrial demand.

Here is what I find interesting, and what I think has potential:

July 2019 silver $19.42.
December 2018 silver $19.12.
Jan 2016 silver $18.24
December 2015 silver $18.009

I would tend to believe based on miner's all in costs, which are hard to get one's head around because silver is in many cases found when mining for other metals precious and other wise, even with a drop in both industrial and investment demand, the current price levels are not sustainable for the outlying months/years quoted.

With respect to SLV, I looked briefly this morning. All sorts of intriguing plays as they have LEAPS out to 1/2017.

Buy a 1/2017 $18 leap call for $218. Total risk is $218.

Finance the above with a spread by selling the 1/2017 $30 leap call. Reduce total cost of trade, also reduce potential profit of trade.



More risky would be to place a synthetic long leap spread. Buy the $18 leap call and sell the $18 leap put. You'd get paid $42 for every spread. In a worst case scenario the call would expire worthless, and you would be obligated to buy 100 shares of SLV at $18. SLV could be trading at any price point lower than $18.

You can mitigate this in all sorts of ways with hidden order to cover etc.

Really though, I would think buying a 1/2017 $18 call for $218 is really a very conservative play. Total risk $218, theoretical profit is unlimited.
