Have we seen the bottom in silver and GOLD PRICES overnight? Tentatively. First steps.
Overnight SOMEbody (wink, wink!) tried to crush silver with massive sales in Asia (Sunday night our time). They drove silver down to 2023.5c, but that lasted only very briefly. By midnight New York time silver has climbed back above 2100c, and climbed slowly through the rest of European trading. By New York open it had reached 2180c, backed off, traded up to 2200c by noon, then in a single bound leapt to 2270c. Comex closed UP 22.9 cents at 2256.8c, after a range of 299 cents. Whew.
Today's trading paints the first half of a Key Reversal: a break to new low ground with a close higher than the preceding day (Friday closed 2233.9c). IF silver confirms with the second half of that Key Reversal tomorrow (a higher close than today's), you've got your sign that it's reversed. Permanently? Don't know. Have to see how it behaves, step by step confirming that reversal.
The SILVER PRICE crucial support now is 2250c, where "crucial" means "must hold."
The GOLD PRICE suffered the same sort of attack that silver suffered, only with less effect. Drove it down to $1,336.50 in Asian trading, rose in a rounding bottom to $1,365 when Comex opened. Backed off, strengthened, then jumped square up $1,365 to $1,385 in one leap. High hit $1,398,60, tapping hard on $1,400.
This, too, marked the first half of a Key Reversal for gold, new low with higher close. Tomorrow to complete that Key Reversal gold must close above $1,384.30.
Y'all need to comprehend that looking at charts is a work continually in progress. It says something until it contradicts or confirms. Today's trading left double bottoms on both charts. For now, both metals have reversed, but they must confirm that Key Reversal tomorrow.
This may be the witness we've been waiting on. I bought a little of both metals, just in case. That higher close tomorrow will really stimulate my buying glands.
Part of this fun today arose from the US dollar index falling back from its Friday high by 36.6 basis points (0.47%) to 83.748. I have been expecting it to continue to advance, but that's a pretty hefty stumble. Besides, currencies can only be parsed temporarily by technical analysis, since the Nice Government Men can change directions -- and exchange rates -- at any time for any reason.
Yen climbed 0.96% to 97.79. If we had found the yen passed out on the street, this would be the equivalent of barely fogging a mirror held under its nostrils.
Euro also shot up today, well, rose 0.37% to $1.2887. What tarnishes the luster on that? Friday it hit the neckline of a head and shoulders that began building last September. Whether the euro intended to drop further or not, it would ordinarily bounce off strong support like that. Neckline is around $1.2800 now. When the Euro breaks that level, 'twill drop like a hambone in swill.
Stocks stuttered and staggered on their way to Schlaraffenland today. Dow lost 19.12 (0.12%) to end at 15,335.28. S&P500 backed up 1.18 (0.07%) to 1,666.29. A mania cannot be parsed, so I won't even try to point to a top. When it stops, it will stop fast, hard, and humiliating.
Dow in gold and Dow in silver both dropped right smart today. Dow in silver perched at 679.51 oz, down 7.84 oz or 1.14%. Dow/Gold lost 0.17 oz (1.52%) to 11.078 oz.
SPECIAL OFFER
U.S. $5 modern commemoratives.
Today I was able to buy a good-sized lot of US $5.00 commemoratives (0.2419 troy ounce fine gold content). These have been minted over the last thirty years to the ancient US standard to commemorate various events. and are not to be confused with the American Eagle gold coin series. All are in proof or proof-like condition.
Based on today's gold close at $1,384.30, the premium for these coins over gold is a tiny 5.9%.
I will sell lots of Eight (8) each $5 gold commems ($354.50 each) for $2,836 + $35 shipping = $2,871.00 per lot.
If you order more than one lot, add only one $35 shipping charge.
Limit ten (10) lots per customer. All lots are sold subject to the special conditions below, no exceptions. Sorry, no re-orders at these prices.
Special Conditions:
If I have miscounted my inventory and come up short, the LAST person to order will receive fewer coins, at a price reduced to reflect the smaller quantity.

We will not take orders for less than the minimums shown above.

Your email must include your complete name, address, and phone number. We cannot ship to you without your address. Sorry, we cannot ship outside the United States or to Tennessee.

To avoid confusion, please remember that the comments above have a very short time horizon. Always invest with the primary trend. Gold's primary trend is up, targeting at least $3,130.00; silver's primary is up targeting 16:1 gold/silver ratio or $195.66; stocks' primary trend is down, targeting Dow under 2,900 and worth only one ounce of gold; US$ or US$-denominated assets, primary trend down; real estate bubble has burst, primary trend down.
WARNING AND DISCLAIMER. Be advised and warned:
Do NOT use these commentaries to trade futures contracts. I don't intend them for that or write them with that short term trading outlook. I write them for long-term investors in physical metals. Take them as entertainment, but not as a timing service for futures.
NOR do I recommend investing in gold or silver Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs). Those are NOT physical metal and I fear one day one or another may go up in smoke. Unless you can breathe smoke, stay away. Call me paranoid, but the surviving rabbit is wary of traps.
NOR do I recommend trading futures options or other leveraged paper gold and silver products. These are not for the inexperienced.
NOR do I recommend buying gold and silver on margin or with debt.
What DO I recommend? Physical gold and silver coins and bars in your own hands.
One final warning: NEVER insert a 747 Jumbo Jet up your nose. No, I don't.
