SLV - Shaken . . . Not StirredWhere did this all come from? Dramatic market moves this past week even crashed silver and gold. Bonds were the only investment instrument that went unscathed. So much for the diversification theory that gold and silver would remain uncorrelated and offer protection in a weak market environment. Past debacles have shown that when margin call liquidations enter the market, everything goes down, but yesterday was a bit over the top, as were moves in many key companies across the board.
As the dust settles, it's clear to see that SPX retraced 50% of it's recent move, DJI retraced .618% and Silver retraced a bit beyond 50% but thus far has not exceed .618 that could indicate a trend change. It's also important to note that yesterday's big move down still did not violate the top of Wave 1. In Elliott Wave rules, Wave 4 cannot violate Wave 1. Holding support here gives clues that SLV will rebound to the -.23 Fib level or 19.60.
I held my nose and bought more physicals yesterday, as many of you also did. Also added to the equity positions of First Majestic Silver and Wheaton Precious Metals. Would like to pick up more RGLD if weakness continues.
