Gold/Silver should I be worried about my dollars and what should I do? 


Is HyperInflation a possibility?  You bet it is...

NIA(National Inflation Administration)released a report that believes because this decade's Real Estate bubble was so large, Real Estate prices will
likely overcorrect to the downside and the median U.S. home will be worth only 500 ounces of silver at some point this decade. Therefore, if you buy just $13,000 worth of physical silver today based on 26 dollar silver, NIA believes you will be able to pay cash (without any mortgage) for an average American home within the next 5 to 10 years."

I do believe that we'll see inflation like this, but I think what we'll see first is corporations trying to keep a lid on prices and they'll do that by reducing the size of the item you buy. We're beginning to see this already, with cereal boxes shrinking as well as the amount of food being served in restaurants with each plate as commodity prices climb higher and higher.

Gold & Silver were the star performers yesterday, with Gold trading past $1,400, and Silver trading past $27. This morning, there's more Gold & Silver buying, and now Silver is trading over $28! WOW!  The thinking that the FOMC's $600 Billion QE isn't going to be enough, and the Eurozone periphery country problems is really pushing Gold & Silver higher, and higher.


People ask me all the time how to play the silver/gold market...so here you go...

I stick with the etf's for silver = SLV, a stock that has a great model geared toward no work all pay based on Silver is SLW....just reported great numbers. I own options on both and have for years.

Gold again etf GLD or if you want leverage with the gold miners which as you will learn leverage is a two sided sword, goes up and down with gold prices but more than the actual physical moves. With that being said GDX (major miners) and GDXJ(small miners) is the way to play it. The GDX miners are pulling it out of the ground all expenses paid for 450 an ounce....gold at 1400 no brainer. If you're interested in two actual stocks go with AEM and EGO....pulling it out of the ground for cheap and no future prices locked in.

If you're looking for gold, silver, palladium and platinum just read about a new ETF that looks very good called GLTR.

Again do your own homework....gold and silver while is needed in any and all portfolios....has skyrocketed lately so average in to any and all investments in this area and if you're familiar with options use deep in the money far out options instead to buy these.

If you do nothing else after reading this other than get interested....for goodness sake do something. It's your money and I promise you the price of silver and gold as I've stated for the past 10 years to anyone that would listen will be more expensive 2 years from now than it is now.

Do your own Diligence..

Happy Investing.

WOW! I think that sums it up

Many of you have been reading this blog may have noticed that my blogging frequency has increased over the past few weeks as I got short the market. As you can imagine I am down money since getting short the market, this is the time when most people pull away from posting. But my goal is to stay active and involved and show you that trading is not always rainbows and butterflies. It is times like these that the things I have been sharing over the past couple of weeks are so important. You need to trade small relative to your account. I have a decent short position in the market and my portfolios are set up to make some awesome returns if we finally turn lower. But something I would like to point out is that my account is 70% Cash.  I learned a long time ago how important it is to live by the rules you preach. Because of my discipline I am able to continue to hold my positions, I have time and capital on my side. I can't stress enough how important it is not to get to big....

Stay Small, Stay Out of Trouble

To expand on my post from yesterday about patience. I want to talk about a very important element that allows patience in a position, and that is staying small. If you trade too big RELATIVE to your personal account size, you are likely to be forced to exit the trade before the trade works in your favor. Many trades myself included have all experienced the pains of trading a position way too large given our account size. There is this predisposition out there that the only way you are going to make money in the financial markets is if you are trading 10 lots of options and 1000 shares of stock at the time. This is not the case, and if this is your mentality you will likely ensure yourself trouble. We have all read the stories of traders blowing up their account. I personally think a good rule of thumb is to not risk more than 5% of your account value on any one position. Good Luck Trading! In The Money Trades And 1 favor that we ask:  If you like the hard work w...

more good news from FXStreet : Tom Fitzpatrick, senior technical analyst at Citibank in New York. Monday, July 15, 2002 "Parity is a psychological, not a technical level...and whether we pause around parity or not, we are likely to see significant further dollar losses...Our initial target is $1.03 to $1.0450. If that level is taken out, it actually casts a question mark against the whole of the dollar's rally of the last seven years, and could open up a full-blown bear market for the dollar." Julian Jessop, chief European economist at Standard Chartered Bank. Monday, July 15, 2002 "The dollar is under pressure from everything from economic problems to asset reallocation away from the U.S. and corporate accounting problems. It's difficult to see any positive factor for the dollar at the moment. The root of the problem is the U.S. current account deficit. If the U.S. doesn't have to attract an enormous amount of foreign capital, people wouldn't have to wor...
