SLV trade ideas
SLV June 16 Covered CallBought two lots of SLV at 15.74 and sold June 16 calls for 38 ea (45 delta strike). The IV was >20% today.
The position break even is reduced to 15.36 with a 4% max profit on the break even cost.
At 60 days to expiry, this yields 25% at an annualized rate.
Ideally the cost basis on the position can be further reduced after June with additional calls sold against the position in the months ahead. Thinkorswim analysis shows 60% probability of some profit.
Precious metals don't yield, but covered calls can be used to generate income against an existing ETF position.
Silver has been trading in an increasingly narrow range for the past year, and may continue to do so for some time yet.
GOLD READY TO SURGE ? NOT JUST YET (PART 4 OF 5 - SILVER)Silver-is an industrial metal, so it will do well in a good economy.
Silver-is also similar to gold-for world tension in geo-political events.
If gold-is to surge, silver-usually will also.
Yet the chart for silver- does not indicate an imminent rally,
GLD & SLV trend divergenceIn early 2017 GLD and SLV trends began to diverge. Gold and silver usually track closely but with silver being more volatile and quirky than gold. This might make SLV a better buy if we're going to see a PM rise (given more room to rise), as some are predicting (eg, Sachs turns bullish on gold for the first time in 5 years).
Silver on the Buy Watch list a MUST
Sitting at mid term support, showing long term trend line just below here. Start accumulation but know the trend line is in play and the better spot to FULL load. Don't let this opp pass you buy. I usually hate silver, but she's showing signs of real potential. JPM loading another 1.2m ounces this week, why cause they expect it lower in time?
SLV: One more drop down?Looks like a fairly good triangle in SLV. When price is going down into a triangle most often it continues down at the end of the triangle. Like most patterns we often see what we are looking for. So no guarantee. But would not be surprised to see one more drop in silver. IFFF this occurs may well be a great base for a new bull run. Take care. Have a great week.
SLV Ready to Pop?Hi all - I am brand new to trading view and trading.....can someone critique this SLV chart I prepared. From what I see it it is in a tight and narrow trend and has some real upside if it can break above short and medium term resistance???? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks
SLV poised for three-month test of the lowOne pattern I like to follow is a three-period test of the high or low. Should SLV hold this level (15.51) on Wednesday, the end of the month of February, it could be forming the base for a long-term bottom. The intermonth low for December was lower, so price action in March could also fall to test that low (14.74) but the a successful monthly close is a long-term positive. Of note is that there is also a three-week test of the low next week. This is very reminiscent of the Feb 2016 low in SPX, with a weekly and monthly test occurring around the same time. We all know what followed after that.
