all i hear is that it is a crucial commodity plus holder of value and will be in competition with copper for next 5 years what do you think?

Yes, beginning with this: Fundamentals (news, earnings, financials etc) are a HORRIBLE timing mechanism.

I trade the chart and relentlessly analyze and compare short-term Price highs/lows to Indicator highs/lows. From that you will see that markets tip their hand….Trade the chart…period.

Likewise, John Murphy said analysts and fundamentalists study causes of market movements (swings, trends). TECHNICIANS (swing traders) study the EFFECTS of all CAUSES ie. the stock chart (Price, MACD, Stochastic, Williams%).

Everything we need to time Buy or Sell is there in the chart.

That said, I’m a news hound; knowing a company strength or sector strength, or ETF holdings doesn’t hurt, but I DO NOT trade it.

I believe. Plenty of analysts are OJT trained within the company. They prefer “their way”. All depends what you pray for and how hard you work (how determined are you).

Correct. sorry 😏. If you’re a trader who prefers to sell “into the buying” (near the high) which I am, the tells I’ll share suggest Silver will be pulling-back soon. Just my read, but I’ve analyzed over 40,000 charts since 1999. Price-Indicator disagreement is my forté.

Concur, N/A. Just a heads up Silver’s chart is dropping signals of reversal (pull-back) which occur prior to any reversal — a post later today. Also, as you alluded-to with mention of Copper, Silver (a precious metal) is also a commercial metal, and often leads markets down in response to pressures of US economic recession, which we’re seeing in jobs data.
