After an extremely volatile week, what can we expect from silver in the week ahead? If you’ve read some of the same reports in the blogosphere as I have, you may want to try your chances at Russian Roulette -- your odds of success are higher.
There are a couple of metaphors I especially enjoyed:
At the end of its move up, silver was on a rocket. The entire world was in a frenzy, from the taxi drivers to my mother. That was the big clue.
“Sell on excitement”
That’s exactly what George Soros and Carlos Slim -- among the most notable -- did. They started exiting their silver position when it made new all time highs. In some ways the death of Osama bin Laden may have been the catalyst many experienced investors sought. One last spark to bring the market to a fever pitch.
Now what?
Well after a week where silver lost almost 25% of its value, it's hard not to take the value of Risk Management seriously.
This morning Silver Wheaton (SLW), the miner, came out with its quarterly earnings. According to SmartStops.net, the short-term stop is $33.81 and the long-term stop is $31.73.
iShares Silver Trust (SLV) may experience the aforementioned “Dead Cat Bounce” wherein the price bounces up from last week’s lows, making a woeful attempt to break the downtrend and then continue downward.
