Just wondering if silver = USD100+ and everyone start to cash out by hundreds and thousands of ozs, where to sell? Here we dont hv pm dealers like US willing to buy in bulk from walk in customers and i think pm market is still very small here. Any idea???
Well, I in the first place, how did you notice silver? I would say you saw some opportunity in silver or gold increase in price, and you think if you get in on the action, you can make some money, true? I mean I got in this way.
So you see, if the price of silver rises to USD 100 per oz, more newbies will notice and start to look for place to buy or invest silver, many of us collectors will turn into seller liquidating our silver like nobodies business....

well, that's the hope anyway.
It looks like a pyramid scheme, as long as you are in it early, you reap the profit, but if you come in at the later stage, you are paying to feed those who comes in early. ha ha...sound right?

PS don't flame me, I'm just putting it in some easy to understand sense. the important thing is, if you see the price of silver keep moving up, won't you be tempted to buy and buy and ride the wave? only expert will know to sell and sell (but will still keep some for future)

If the long term forecast is a conservative USD50 and the over stretch USD1,000, the best time is always now, like Nike's motto; JUST DO IT.
My own little story on precious metals: 3 years ago I was told to invest in gold at USD900, and as a trained engineer started researching on historical gold price, and found out the lowest price of gold over previous 10 years was USD200. I concluded I missed the boat. Same story at USD1,200 and USD1,400. Finally I bought a small pc of 50g gold when spot price was USD1,500, and start doing research on gold, but discover silver instead. I bought Perth Mint Certificate Program when silver was USD39 in middle September, 2011. One week later the price crashed to USD26 and closed at USD28 on September. 26th. I have being buying ever since from USD28 to USD 32. Last Thursday I stayed up to buy a shipment of physical silver, watching the screen for hours and decided to strike when spot price was USD30.80. Happy like hell when price move up to USD31.50 within one hour. Then two hours later, price went down to USD30, and I was getting pissed. Fortunately a few hours later it closed at USD30.80 again. The rest is all history, I hanged up my towel for short term price prediction, and I concluded I can't predict price even for 1 minute. I am planning to buy 2 or 3 times a month depending on my mood rather than on the spot price.
Good luck, Property.
Very insightful.... I'm sure not every newbie will understand until they really get into it. It takes me a few bad experience to come to similar conclusion. But still, I got upset when the price go down after I buy (because I buy at high price) and also upset when the price go up (because I didn't buy enough) ha hah.....
