I ain't even going to pretend to know. The fundamentals driving price are way different than previous run-ups though.

I'm here for the ride.

According to posts earlier in this thread, $600 is the peak... 0% chance it gets there in 6 months.

I had a bunch of SLV calls in September that would have expired this Friday. Most were $40 strikes. I just went back and looked to feel some pain. First time I bought them they were $1.83/share. Trading at $44.08 right now. Too bad I’m a pussy.

That's why I prefer just being an investor rather than a trader. The "Set it and forget it" approach takes away a lot of stress.

The "shoulda coulda" that comes with options or swing trading is too much for me. Maybe I'll dabble with it more in the future though, when I have more time to pay attention.

Options stress me out way too much so I’ve quit all speculative type plays. I have some deep in the money 2028 exp on gold because they’re dirt cheap leverage. But I can’t handle anything short dated and out/near the money.

Options are a professionals game. There is massive asymmetry in pockets if you can handle it. Like one of the most convex assets on earth (silver) being priced with the volatility of a REIT.

Definitely seems like they are good at hammering down when globex re-opens at 6 pm EST which is odd because for ever and ever it was always hammered down during CME trading hours and would balloon up during eastern trading hours. I would like to see a James Anderson graph where he splits the two trading sessions out and graphs them after this amazing run. He portends and I tend to agree that the two prices will intersect at some point in the future.

Arbitrage by the international traders. Paper order on the LBMA exchange, take delivery of physical at Comex. Then fly it from NY to the Shanghai vaults. That’s what has been occurring on a massive scale for several years now.
It was a mass exodus of the US silver supply … while cheap to do so.

That’s why LMMA and Comex are now basically empty of physical supply. The clearance times for Comex silver went from 48 hours to now 18 + weeks for delivery and fulfillment of GFD silver bullion.

Well we are spelunking off the cliff so far down almost 6% in 3 hours

Not the slightest bit worried I am sure I will wake up with it much closer to neutral

was just thinking about this thread today. Glad you asked. No, not yet but I’m strongly considering moving out chunks into IAU soon.

Kudos - you’re a ballsy man holding 2x levered anything over 4-5 months. Heck of a trade.

All I know is that I bought my first American Silver Eagles (20 1oz. coins) in 2005 at $8 each and haven't stopped over 20 years.

I've waited a long plucking time to see these current valuations and managed to sell nust a very tiny amount during this time. I'm not selling any silver until the gold silver ratio drops below 1:40.

With that being said, I see silver reaching $200+ an ounce at some point this year.

When I was a child my grandfather would pull the money out of the vending machines at his appliance parts distributorships and then have me sit in the conference room and go through the dimes & quarters and set aside everyone minted before 1965. He would then pay me 2x in post 1965 coinage

We would then roll up the copper & nickel cladded garbage and either stock the cash registers or take them to the bank to deposit but he was adamant that a 90% silver coin should never go to a bank.
