I'm still a buyer. Usually only about an ounce or so per week but even that amount that will add up over time.

For the first time in my life... I sold some silver last week! I traded three ASE @ $33.00 each to a jewelry shop owner/friend for a ring for my wife's birthday. I was shocked at how fast the owner grabbed the deal. Maybe I sold them too cheap?

I am waiting for Ag to drop to at least $25.00 before I start buying again. A dip down to $20.00? Nawh, I don't think that will happen, but if it does... I will buy!

Edit: If you factor in sales tax. Then I let them go for $35.81 each.

I dunno that you let them go too cheap; likely just that the jeweller saw 3 ounces of silver, thought "hey, I can make about 8 rings out of that!" and saw profit potential. :)

I had not thought of that! You are most likely right. The lady is always making stuff to order. You can walk in and buy from a wide variety of stones and then she will make a piece of jewelery to fit it. Cool stuff!

If the Packers can win tomorrow, I'll have a nice, shiny Canadian Maple delivered right to my door. Isn't that right, Thogey?

That's a big if.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

Still buying, but very selectively. The price has to be at a nice discount. I'm not selling anything, as prices should be significantly higher over the next few years. I didn't sell anything when SILVER was $18 and I won't now.

I guess if someone needs some CASH, you sell some. But not me.

Always a buyer. Just slowly stacking a little every week, like tn-dave, a slowly my stack gets bigger. What do you have more faith in PM's or FRN's?

I'm only buying silver if I can find it under spot right now, saving up my money for hopefully a summer correction.

The summer will correct, no doubt. But it will drop from $45 down to $38. :? Better to buy a bit each month.

30 dollar silver is back and I see there is still robust demand. The dollar seems to have taken a beatdown today, all metals could be moving on up to the eastside. :)
