Silver Trading Like A Meme Asset
- Silver experienced extreme intraday volatility, plunging over 10% and trading from ~$120 to under $75 within days.
- George Gammon argues silver is trading like a meme/risk asset rather than a clean inflation hedge right now.
Personal Trade Recap On Silver ETFs
- Gammon recounts his personal SLV/PSLV trades: he sold PSLV earlier and missed the big drop in SLV.
- He also describes timely buys and sells that produced strong performance in recent months.
Consider Shorting Ahead Of CPI
- Consider short positions in silver into the upcoming CPI if you expect a CPI beat.
- Gammon says a higher-than-expected CPI would likely push silver significantly lower short-term.
