A Commodimetric Approach to Trading Silver

Quote from Argent:

Today I can buy a great bottle of French champagne with an ounce of silver. Or 100 rounds of a respectable .223 rifle ammo. Can take the wife out for a sumptuous sushi feast. Could probably buy a quick piece of ass. Can feed the birds and rabbits for two months. Buy two pounds of nine count Key West pink shrimp. There's just lots more things I expect I could buy with sivver come the Apeocalips than I would want to buy with gold.

Judas ruined silver for me.

Cheap at the price for the Jews to get rid of an annoying dissident.

From a modern perspective, Wickedpoedia says that a field hand today in the slave trade costs about an ounce of silver, whereas a sex slave costs about an ounce of gold. Not a bad deal considering that a good quality assualt rifle costs about an ounce of gold. That may determine how much gold and silver I ultimately hold.
 
Quote from Argent:

I do so love this place! Here even the tannest of charlatans can attract a following! Those who don't get it may well ask, "Why should I own silver?" Let me counter with equally foolish questions:
"How many guns should you own?"
"How many rounds of ammunition for each should you store?"
"How much fiat of your domicile country should you have rolled up in a sock in your drawer?"
"How many cans of Campbell's Classic chicken noodle soup should you have in your larder?"
"How many gallons of gasoline should you have in your shed?"
"How many cases of cervesa should you have under your sink?"
"How many rolls of toilet paper should you have in your dirty clothes hamper?"
"How many days of survival should your bugout bag provide you on the run?"
If you cannot immediately answer those questions, I cannot explain to you why you should own some silver.

Well true ,good points,silver, SLV is in long term uptrend;
but 4 month/daily candlecharts are too bearish.perhaps to buy[any more] now.

Sure its heading to $55.55+ , but that is a direction, not a prediction.

Silvertip bullets are not silver, Winchester Western simply & wisely branded that cool name to play off the long term uptrend/value of the real thing ,silver.Remington 30-06 bullets are fine also.

I dont ever like to sell/ buy 30 pieces of silver,
thats a Judas size trade ;
most any other size trade/investment maybe fine.:cool:

All sage observations. Mayhap that is why the Mint packages Eagles in tubes of twenty.

You are right that I am predicting direction only, this is like an oscillator.

Thank you for lending your august aura to this humbug thread.

this is the best approach i have ever seen. you are a prodigy.

I am not sure about being a prodigy, but I am prodigious. Note that at no time did I ever say that the PRICE would go up or down at my inflection points, only the VALUE.
 
Can we now get into a discussion on the existential differences (not necessarily omitting similarities) of price and value? Penny for your thoughts, Argent.

It is not kind of you to tempt a feeble-minded dottering old man to make a fool of himself.

I invented the science of Commodimetrics to determine the best trade inflection points for a specific commodity based not on its price in fickle fractious fiat but on the price of other commodities. Therefore it is entirely possible that following an inflection the fiat price may decline whilst the commodity price increases. If for diversification you MUST have some commodity positions, regardless of how commodities are currently performing relative to fiat, then you at least want to be invested in the least bad of the bad. Alternatively, you may seek a way to periodically rebalance your commodity portfolio. Commodimetrics provides that tool.

But above all, it quantifies into a numerical analytical binary decision the intuition of "cheap" versus "dear."

So, crude in terms of gold; wheat in terms of corn; apples in terms of strawberries? That kind of metric?

Exactly. Apples and oranges. Or perhaps relative to a basket of commodities. It is always good to ask "What does $SPX sell for in Euros?" or "How many barrels of oil does an ounce of gold buy?"
This is merely the financial equivalent of a horny cashless GI asking "How many Hershey bars does pussy cost tonight?" The only difference being that we are horny for silver.
