The SILVER PRICE jumped 20-1/2 cents today to close on the Comex at $17.61. In the after- market it's trading at $17.86. High so far this move has been $17.893 last Wednesday, 14 October. A close strongly above $18.00 would break silver out to the upside. Buy if it does, but likelier is more sideways to down shilly-shallying in a shallow correction. Shouldn't drop lower than $17.00 at most.
The GOLD PRICE's high close has been $1064.20, so that's another number to watch. A close above that means a breakout. By the way, when I say "a close above that price" I don't mean 10 cents above that price. Ought to be at least 2% above, but less would do as long as it gained again the next day. Gold closed today $6.60 higher at $1,057.30 on Comex. Today may have been a fooler, an upday in a correction. Be careful. Buy any breakout above $1,065, or any drop below $1,040. In the aftermarket gold is trading right at $1,065.
Analysts whom I read and respect see the present gold and silver markets through eyes different to mine. They're calling for $14.00 silver, and who knows where that would put gold -- $950? I think they're misjudging this market's mood. The bull has broken down the fence and run out of the paddock and he ain't coming back. That's why I believe these will be shallow corrections. Next low is due by October 30.
What's the alarm that will tell you I'm wrong? The silver price closing below $17.00 and the gold price below $1,020.
STOCKS edged up 96.28 to close at Dow 10,092.19, a new high for this rally. S&P 500 rose 10.23 to 1,097.91. Looks like the Dow may reach the 50% correction level at10,375 before it collapses.
Argentum et aurum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and silver must be bought.
