Silver Price
The silver price chart appears to be an upside-down head and shoulders reversal formation, finishing out the last (right) shoulder. Look at it on the right. If that's so, silver won't drop below $13.80 and will advance toward that all important $14.40. This ought to happen this week.

Oil slid 4.47% today to a new low at $31.41/barrel (WTIC). The useless media somehow attributed stocks Lilliputian climb to that fall, although just days ago they were connecting lower oil prices to lower stock prices. I'm such a durned ol' nat'ral born fool from Tennessee that still seems like double-talk and self-contradiction. This time last year they were all allowin' as how lower oil prices would be a boon to the economy and therefore to stocks. Don't hear that line much today.

Dow Jones
Stocks sank all day, until 2:00 p.m, when they tried to rally to unchanged, then fell back. "Friendly buyers" came in about 3:30 to drive stocks up barely above unchanged, but they were scarce as four-legged snakes. Dow gained 52.12 (0.32%) to 16,398.57. S&P500 gained 1.64 (get out the magnifying glass) or 0.09% to 1,923.67.

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.
