It seems when investor confidence excels the short term traders use it as a device to bring the shares lower. This is all part of an ongoing process within a bull market. The quickest declines are in bull markets and the opposite is true of fast rallies within a bear market. What does this mean? It means you buy during bull markets when energized sell-offs make their presence as opposed to being depressed and fearful. I have been buying declines in gold and silver on such declines since 2004 with confidence and so should we during this current weakness in our shares.
As a sideline, gold and silver have pushed through their 50 day averages on Friday and both are well placed to move higher within their ongoing bull markets. One thing to remember, there is always a market price to pay for an advancing party, it never seems to fail as it is just part of the game.
