^^ honestly just for a scalp. i do not like trading commodities. reason being they move not based on fundamentals but based on supply and demand for the most part (not current but 6 months or 1 year out even) what we are seeing here is nuts. volume on the ETF's were double or triple what they were last week. and today we are on pace for even more volume. I've seen traders get absolutely obliterated trading commodities. cannot trust charts, cannot trust fundamentals, cannot trust anything. silver could double from here or drop 50%. either way I would not be surprised.
just talked to my boy at work. he said he fought silver yesterday then stayed short overnite.. today he covered but still has puts for May. if silver tanks more he will make a fortune.
i actually did trade a silver equity last week. SLW. silver wheaton. i was buying it on large pullbacks and then getting out fast.
Unless a huge silver hoard in the order of several million tonnes is discovered, it is impossible for it to fall and stay down, here is a good read, long but some good stuff in it...
