Many thanks for prompt response and your point is well taken.
There are so many commentators with various points of view I try and take on board as much info as I can and also try and discern so as not to just be reading views that align with my own thinking.
In the end I generally move with my gut feeling and so far cannot complain as I started buying in early 2002. Whilst I have made good gains in the gold price movement and enduring the re-sets along the way I still believe the general trend is upwards.
As you appear to regard T. A. and charting you may find this link of interest if you have not read it already.
At present my gut feelings are leading me to look at March $30 silver calls sometime next week. However; something I would not consider if I did not already hold an amount of physical silver!
