Casey Resaerch another service I despise. Full of verbose rants and ego trips.
Not giving excuses here but I think I do tend to get caught up with fading when I see others do it. I am generalising, but one glance at the posts and you feel that many are trying to pick a bottom with the USD or top is some other counter and it feels safe to be doing it with others. Typical greenhorn tendencies, I guess.
That is why I feel the need for someone above to shout at me to do the right thing.
I am reading that what we have witnessed in silver is still not a 'parabolic' move yet. Frankly if this is not parabolic I dunno what is(well then again I am only a 3 month old 'trader'.
When I asked a broker friend of mine what constitutes a 'parabolic move' in the case of silver he says that that will mean $2-3 upward movements everyday and towards the last stages even $5 a day movements. Cant quite imagine that.
This is not for the faint hearted. This quick silver hardly retraces and when it does it does the quickest of u-turns. And gold and silver play like a tag team together, when one sleeps the other makes its moves but finally they pull each other right along.
Appears that it's safer to join than to bet against this solid tag team in the current climate, IMHO.
Cant figure out how EWA fits into all this. Even EWI has given up with wave counts for silver for the past week or so. Yet EWI's current word on silver price is that- it is "highly unstable". Cute description.
The only way to trade this is with trailing stops and watch gold for signalling the minor rets. You will find that silver almost always follows the direction of gold, albeit silver has at last caught up with gold over recent months and on this occasion overtaken.
