SILVER BELOW $27. BTD.

Well,

Silver broke the $27 barrier it had been stuck at. Currently at $26.90. I say buy the dip because no one knows where it going next.

I am wondering if people won't run out of money first before the price goes up. Most people are debt slaves and owe far more than what they are worth. I am suprised that PMs are as high as they are.

Waiting for 25 out the door for Eagles. Put the spot around 21 or 22. All in then. Wishful thinking? Or a sound call that Europe hasn't really hit bottom yet? Probably a lil o both. BTD though is sound monetary advice for those of you that are already heavily vested. Good luck gentlemen.

I'd do part at that price then hold out for $20/per delivered - we ARE going to have a nasty deflationary crash in asset prices before it all blows up - IMO - YMMV, not advice just what I think is going to happen.

Yeah you're probably right. Catching a falling knife is tough though. 20 delivered sounds tasty. I think the bogus paper may go that low but would you swing your physical off for that price? I think very few people would. And there is where the run starts. When the paper and actual metal decouple.

I'm not buying till it hits $20/oz, how long do you think that'll be?

I'm tempted to currently buy at 26.68, but no place will sell at spot, so you end up paying almost $29-30oz once its all said and done.

There is a bad moon rising....

When has any dealer ever sold at spot?

There is always a premium.

Once Europe has to come to actual terms with the PIIGS all at once. Maybe real soon.

Just place an ad in the paper, thats what I've been doing.

"Want to buy, gold, silver, coins, guns"

You'd be surprised how many little old ladies have stuff they want to sell off.

For tangible assets in my grubby little hands I'm happy to pay 3% over spot.

I used to buy silver eagles from APMEX, now I buy APMEX 1 oz silver rounds instead. $1.49 over spot ($1.00 if you catch a sale). They are a known quantity and I have never had a problem with them.

If I could swing 500 onces at once to get the $1.49 over spot I would. For us small timers, we are stuck at $3-$4 over spot with apmex. (plus shipping which adds anohter $1 or so per oz.)

Low 20's looking tasty. Seeing if anybody has any physical for sale at that price will be another story.

Let it go! I'm in a buying mood.

Still getting my jollies watching Europes economy free fall after having to listen to their heckling about Americas economy for a couple years and how it would never happen to them. Thanks for the price drop on silver Europe!

So, what will the effect of Obama Care be on gold and silver prices?

who the hell knows - we sure as hell can't afford it so they WILL eventually have to print to pay for all of this crap so EVENTUALLY PMs should go up as the dollar is further debased but with whats going on in Europe... who knows, too many moving parts.

Well,

Its back down below $27 as the reality of a Euro downturn is back. I see more of these intermitent pops as the price declines. Patience.
