People should have been out days ago, dunno why anyone would have stayed in.  Also I think a crash may be an exaggeration, at least for the moment, while we are going down I don't think it will be super huge, for now.

Before I checked the price today, I was thinking, if the price drops below $6.00, which seemed to be the price point that was being protected. Its giong to fall pretty hard. Been many days of low volume also. Everything is ripe for a drop.

Looks like my buy order in the low $3.00 is still in from last time.  I guess I'll leave it and see if this time brings better results.

Back when we were hovering around 3.20 for a couple weeks and then suddenly dropped to the 2.70 range, I sold.  Then the very next day everything went back up (of course) and proceeded on to 7.XX :-/  Not making that mistake again.

The timing of this dip in BTC and a pretty healthy uptick in PM's is interesting.  I wonder if people who dabble in multiple speculative adventures made some sort of a shift.  (I personally had gotten some more silver last week in spite of what I considered higher prices than I had hoped, and have been avoiding buying BTC for a while now.)

I've never really noticed much of a correlation between PM's and BTC prior to this, but I also had not looked real hard.

Silver is traded on a paper market (Comex, London, etc) that keeps prices artificially low by excessive shorting.
(see Max Keiser, Peter Schiff,  Eric Sprott, etc.)

Accordingly, not sure we can find a correlation between Silver and current BTC prices.

I'm fully aware of these arguments and don't doubt them.  I'm also totally delighted by the situation.  Usually the physical price and (artificially depressed) paper prices are close.  As a physical buyer, this translates into more ounces in my hand.  What's not to love!

I feel the same way about any downward manipulation which may be occurring in the Bitcoin markets.  And if manipulators manage to shake BTC out of the week hands, I'm happy to grab a few as they fall through the air.

Accordingly, not sure we can find a correlation between Silver and current BTC prices.

I'm not sure why PM manipulation or BTC manipulation would have much effect.  If both markets are driven primarily by various speculators, which I sense is the case, than shifts in the mindsets of those speculators who have some overlap in both markets might be expressed. And expressed as an independent phenomenon to the various market manipulation schemes which may or may not be in play.

We were at 5.60 a week ago, trudged our way up to $6.50, and in January we've been repeating weekly trends.

Might have to flip my silver 1/2 dollar on this one, to help me decide.

OT - sorry.

Is the @spot a special with BTC (cuz' the website seems to state normal spreads and I would be suspicious if it did not)?  If so, is it considered temporary?

You seem to be generating happy customers (though I always allow for the possibility of fraud.)  Although it is cheap, easy, and safe for me to utilize a local dealer, I have more USD with my Bitcoin exchange than I normally like in order to capitalize on a Bitcoin crash if it happens.  A desirable and cheap way for me to get these funds back would be to buy BTC, then buy silver from you.

Wooooo, what a loss! I think I would stay on for the ride. this willy-nilly sale when prices go down a little bit is exactly the kind of thing that triggered the great depression in the USA in the 40's. Chill out. step away from your monitors and get some fresh air, maybe have some sex with the significant other. See where the ride ends!

Actually, that's not true in any absolute sense.  It's just difficult for you to observe the changes in the US$.  Compared to the history of the purchusing power of gold, instead of that of the US $, a gallon of gasoline hasn't varied more than 5%, comparing the average in 1971 to the average in 2011.  I'm pretty sure that the value of the US $ has varied far more than that in the internim, almost exclusively down.  That little fact has much to do with why I'm here to begin with.

I'm totally bullshitting of course...well, almost totally...I might sneak a peek if she heads off to the bathroom afterwards :)  I just thought that trying to explain such a thing as 'multitasking' to a female painted an amusing situation (and any donations should go to goat for the orphanage he deals with.)  Thankfully I have little difficulty staying focused on the important things at appropriate times, and am not that into Bitcoin.

I did switch my focus back to Bitcoin and stayed up most of the night when the amazing collapse down into the $3 range first happend, but that was some time ago and both my interest has waned and we've had plenty of similar events since then.

About next price trend....

No point in over-thinking it.

Last week we bumped down 50 cents then traded sideways forever at $6.30.

Looks like were just repeating, down 50 cents. Trading sideways this time around $5.80 or so.
