I got handed a huge lesson

Okay looks like the $60 June target for Silver isn't happening, I've closed out my Silver July positions for a 95% loss.  A huge hit on my portfolio.  Silver is currently at $32.15.  It's probably going to fall all the way to $30 and maybe even the Jan low of $27.  In hindsight I should have closed my positions when silver got the other smackdown in December but these are abnormal times.  It is worth taking a shot in these times because these events can change your life.  I'll probably re-enter if Silver really does go to $27 but for now I've closed out all my Silver positions.  Silver has been consolidating for 11 months now since the May smackdown after a 9 month rally from Sept 2010 to May 2011.  There's no way that Silver will even be $50 by June, if it did that would be a 56% rise in 3 months!  But we'll see.  Perhaps Silver will still reach $50 by years' end.  56% rise in 9 months that's doable.  But who knows?  The metals are manipulated so it's really hard to tell how the price will move.  Silver reached $37 end February and looked like it was going to head to $40 according to Tech Analysis.  And right now, well... :)  that's why for a simple person it's just easier to stay long and buy on dips.

Keep the faith.
