    Today we are having a large sell of right in the middle of window dressing and that can't be good, the flight to quality has the dollar and bonds and gold up but stocks and silver down. That huge railroad track left behind from the parabolic move in silver is valid IMHO and you should continue to stay away from that metal unless you are shorting it.

    ZSL

    Ditch, thanks for your railroad tracks on silver.  I bought ZSL on the gap up this morning, and am showing a 5% profit today.  I think this correction in precious metals is not done yet, and I think silver could go lower than 29.   Shorting is an art, and I'm not sure I'm much of an artist.  I'll set a stop at entry and try to ride out the volatility.

     

    yep and SLV pretty much

    yep and SLV pretty much hit our targets for the bounce and after a parabolic move and correct, an oversold bounce was to be expected, but that then another pullback, though don't tell jtver that.

    Thanks for the charts Ditch
