I take back what I said about silver coins. They are $2 a piece higher than when silver was also at $18.5 in sept of last year.
I suspect silver will not break out above $19.5 next month, but I also sold my slv at 16.2, and although planned to buy some back at 15.8, decided to wait for prices under 15.5, and that never happened.
having so much physical silver keeps me from betting too heavily on slv, except when it is obvious it will go back up. an as long as the fed is pumping so much liquidity in the markets, precious metals will outshine almost every other asset class.
