Silver


Here is a montly chart of silver futures going back to 1982.

In January 1980 (not shown on the chart) silver futures traded above 40.00 for a day and then promptly collapsed, dropping below 5.00 in June 1982. The market subsequently rallied to 14.93 in February 1983 and then began a long decline ending at 3.51 in 1991.

As I write this May silver has traded as high as 14.49 today. The 1983 top is at 1493. Resistance at the 4 1/8 multiple of the 351 low stands at 1448. The market has risen nearly vertically from the 9.00 level two months ago. All these considerations tell me that this big up move in silver will end soon and near current levels. When it does silver will probably drop three or four dollars in just a few days.
