The price of silver has attracted a few emails, asking our opinion on the current renaissance in the price and whether it shall continue.

Our method to handle this sort of thing is to trying and divine the maximum price a share or commodity may reach in accordance with our software. Obviously, figures such as this should not (but sometimes do) create a maximum ceiling for a price. We’ve certainly noticed, once a share price closes above one of our “maximum” levels, it’s game over from our perspective as any idea of a future high would be absolute fiction from us.
The immediate situation for silver suggests movement above $41.48 should next attempt an initial $41.9. Our secondary, if this target is exceeded, calculates at a future $42.30 and this represents a really important number. Commodity price closure above this should be the point at which an assumption should be made something genuine is happening for the longer term.
From our perspective, this suggests taking out a long position and forgetting about it for a while.
There’s certainly a chance the price may relax to around $39 once such a game changing event occurs but the reality is important. The price will have just illustrated it can go above a logical “top”, this being a really big deal for the longer term. The price of silver would need to close below $38 to utterly spoil our optimism, but for now things look fairly hopeful.
