Silver was good to trade during the Great Silver Bubble of 2011.

Gold and Oil are my favorite. Also the DAX30.


I consider what is going on now a reverse silver bubble

My understanding is that there isn't enough physical silver on the planet to validate these prices

Who knows. I think it was just dumb money buying it when it was already overvalued.

Everybody kept talking about it. "Dude we gotta buy some silver, it will be worth $500 in a few months", etc, etc. Every news story on TV and online kept talking about how silver is a great investment, etc, etc. We at Kreslik are smart enough to know that its a bear trap but the general public is just dumb.

Similar situation with Facebook. Many retail traders bought the stock thinking it will double or triple in a few years, when it started losing value, panic started, and huge selling, It lost what, almost half its initial IPO value?

Facebook is a large company, the stock shouldn't of declined so fast.

Keep in mind that Zuckerberg guy is smart. I think he used to be a trader before he started facebook. And he did a smart move selling shares when his company was at its peek.

My guess is a lot of peoples IRA accounts got hurt as a result. The rich got richer and the poor got poorer.

Its a dirt dirty business we are in.

Yup,
and a 2nd time at bband while making higher lows is a clue.

Remember this.
"The largest correction that does not return to the extreme" MO
Can be quantified by a 3-bar push of the bband.
Almost always.
Bail at b/e on the next push toward your entry.

Oh, and you see that big ass drop?

Well, those will give the sweet n tasty 12/bb confluence for easy pips.
It's a sign the momentum is too strong which means price will not fill to the z-line till later.

u/chf?
Higher margin requirement and lower pay per pip...
F that.

In the end, nothing is real except your psychology, money management, and a set of big furry balls to pull it all together. ;)
