As you know I was pretty down and out yesterday, posted randomly
when I could. Today I'm about 50% better, still not the best
but better. However, my son caught what I have he threw up
several times, stayed home from school so I've been dealing with
him, and of course what I still have, which is better than
yesterday, but still not feeling the best and taking care of my
son. Anyway I"m sure you guys understand.
otherwise precious metals continue their sell off, gold gonna
test its 20 day MA
SILVER down 32!!! Remember guys I've
been telling you, one day silver would be down $30!!! that's what
happens when things go parabolic, when they top, they drop hard.
You can't catch the top, that's why I didn't mind selling and being
out early

You da man! One of many wonders of good technical analysis
is that it gives you the equanimity to ride out the markets.
The other wonder is of course it allows you to take advantage
of these up and downs. WAITING FOR MATT TO GIVE US THE
SIGNALS SO WE CAN BACK UP THE TRUCK!
at this point you could probably place a buy limit near the 50
day MA - get a bounce reaction there - the 50 MA is moving so every
day you have to see what the new price is and adjust your limit
price
here's what I mean - buy limit around 50 MA - currently price is
just below the 50 EMA - now maybe the real answer is between these
two, but I would expect or think a least a dead cat bounce off
or near that MA - the thing is price might not exactly tag
it, only get close then bounce hard, or it could go below it a bit
then bounce - so best to not try and be perfect
and realize - one has to have a handle on emotion - a lot of
emotional now in these moves, not an easy trade regardless but I
would guess odds would favor some sort of dead cat bounce around
that zone - a bounce, NOT a bottom - you treat it as a trade to
take profits off. Realize chart broken - will need a lot of
time to heal now - any good bounce should form a lower high then
come down again - heck maybe retest that $50 area, which I said
would not be long term support - see second image for an
illustration
did anyway happen to take a shot and buy some SLV on that
pullback earlier? I did, while it didn't quite tag the 50 MA, it
was below the 50 EMA, and as you know while you will never pick the
exact top, you also won't pick the exact bottom, so don't try,
close enough is fine
like I said below, you were close enough on SLV - between 50 SMA
and EMA, you can never time those perfectly, - any meaningful
bounce will form a lower high so this would be a trade
only
Still dealing with being sick, and now my son

Matt,
In the current situation, would you buy SLV and wait for bounce (maybe corrective)?
