Let Silver Breathe
Mar 12th, 2008 | By Charles Delvalle | Category: Gold Market
Even though I’ve been calling for higher silver prices, I have to admit that the latest run caught me off guard. It seemed like every day I looked at silver, the price just kept going higher and higher. But buying silver now – after the run-up – wouldn’t be the most prudent thing to do.

Since last September, silver prices have jumped nearly 91 percent. This run up the charts was due mainly to inflation expectations moving higher. And now that the Fed has demonstrated a bias toward improving growth (instead of controlling inflation), silver prices should move higher still.
But you rarely see a 91-percent gain in six months without some kind of consolidation. In fact, back in November, silver moved down 12 percent and couldn’t pass its November high until January. That was a clear consolidation pattern. And I think we’re going to see more of the same in the months ahead.
So do yourself a favor. Don’t buy silver until you see it around $17-$18 an ounce (around its 50-day moving average). And then hold on for the long haul.
