Irrational exuberance...

"Stocks recorded their best day since March on Tuesday after strong corporate results and renewed hope for an agreement in Washington on thorny budget issues boosted investor confidence."

That's fine. Yea! Go fiat money, go, go, go! ;) Investor confidence in this market. Wow. That's a scary thought.

Agreed. But we may be off to the races here come August. I was a little surprised it rose as quickly as it did in July of all months, however, previous trending does little good (some but not much) when you've got ever changing external forces affecting price moreso than what we've seen 5-10 years ago.

Thanks man. Much appreciated. The ranchito is priority so get her together. I'd always make it to at least one game a year for the love of baseball even when the Pirates were in their slump (which has been most of 2 decades lol). These are exciting times for Pittsburghers.

Take care.

i think.......its the other way bud. What you got?...something solid? or just a gut feeling?

gut feeling i can respect, but if you got something....share.....cmon, i love information, even if its wrong. Back in the old daze, in the pit, we'd call it, "pissing in somebodys ear"...like this:

trader 1: whadya think?

trader 2: dunno.

trader 1: i heard that Tubby's got a thousand to buy on the close.

trader 2: yeh.

trader 1: yeh.

trader 1 is the "pisser". so if your trader 2, you gotta ask yourself why the pisser just pissed in your ear? goodwill, a generous nature?...yeh right.

Just a gut feeling. Seems like every time it gets going up it gets pushed down hard.

That, plus everyone thinking that it will go up. Just being a naysayer

the better word is "contrarian", and its very valid. If you get a 85% bullish or bearish poll among traders, you could very well be correct in going the other way, a 'naysayer' so to speak, profits can be made in such a stance, however there are two factors here, we might keep in mind. First, i would assume a majority of forum participants hold physical silver, rather than trading in futures, where contrarianism is a potent position. Secondly, this market is unusual in the fact, that we face an unprecedented global financial crisis, that i know you're aware of. Debt markets in tatters, an unpriceable derivative "market" that could total in the hundreds of trillions, and terrified central bankers doing things they KNOW they should not do, like hyper printing paper fiat.

its the perfect storm and in rare cases a market can maintain a high bullish consensus, and continue its up move.if we fail to pierce 50, and trend towards 33, and then band up another 6 months, this would be very very good.......the third wave up will be crazy, AND....participants ...here ...can accumulate even more physical silver.
i dont view silver as an investment vehicle, i look upon it as currency insurance.

you might be right, but i still maintain we trend higher Monday....

I'm not big on charts, but the fact that silver broke $40 (twice) after more than 10 weeks in the $34 - $39 range seems bullish for the short/intermediate term at least. The fact that gold is in record territory is also significant. I don't believe the debt ceiling debate will be resolved in a way that gives any real support for the dollar. I think silver will challenge $50 later this year with a few moderate pullbacks along the way. When $50 is breached convincingly the general public will begin to take notice in ever larger numbers. And that, guys and gals, is when the real action will commence.

Those with physical PMs may want consider reviewing their security arrangements.

But no posters here own physical PM's....right?........RIGHT?

we just like to TALK about them, and only on this forum and NOT in the public square....right?

yes...thats right.

But yes, its wise to review security arrangements, so nobody makes off with our couch, or our lawnmowers....household implements, loved ones, etc.

wise words indeed.

Tea Party withholding their votes?

The actual deal containing no revenue?

Putin spreading the news about the 'parasite' that is america?

I'm guessin' there has been a sudden (and probably temporary) burst of sanity in a slightly larger population of people; those who have just realized that "resolving" the debt crisis meant that the US debt in 10 years - versus our current 14 Trillion - will be "reduced" from 28 Trillion to 26 Trillion. If you heard a sudden wind in the air that sounded like a mass "oh sheeeet", that was probably when the light bulb went off for a few.

I haven't forgotten the path back to $50/oz. I'd be content to revisit that for a couple of days (on our way up to $65/oz.

With gold at $1650/oz, it's getting beyond the affordability factor for many of us. Many ex-gold buyers now look toward silver instead.

Personally, I don't know what my silver price threshold is. At what price do I (you) hunker down?
