Remember, Bunker Hunt's silver corner in 1981? By all accounts Bunker held a massive majority of the warehouse receipts and was on his way to squeezing the shorts; many of them the locals, at his mercy, during a massive bull market of historic proportions....it was game over, until...you...

“When I am bearish and I sell a stock, each sale must be at a lower level than the previous sale. When I am buying, the reverse is true. I must buy on a rising scale. I don’t buy long stock on a scale down, I buy on a scale up.” “Remember that stocks are never too high for you to...
