S&P500 Index Chart Aug to Oct. 2010  Horizon ETF Trading
Well, looking at the charts today, it would seem that the S&P500 is showing some signs of a little weakness. After a huge run up for the DJIA, Nasdaq and S&P500, I believe things are going to stop going up and a reversal is in order. Don’t know exactly when it will hit maybe a week or two or maybe even a month, but I think we are getting a little long in tooth here.

iShares silver ETF (SLV) on in demand

About 3 months ago, I bought contracts in iShares Silver Trust (SLV) ETF kind of as an experiment or litmus test to see my hunches are correct.

If the stock market and economy falters in the next 3 months by January 2010 SLV contracts with a strike price of $19 will make some money as long as the contract price exceeds my break even of $2.10. Currently the contract price is at $2.23 (Sept.16, 2010).

iShares SLV silver ETF

I recently bought some contracts in iShares Silver ETF (SLV) for Jan 2011 @ $19. Why am I now looking into silver, my reasoning behind it is that the stock market at this point may have topped and for the rest of the summer most likely will go down ( as mentioned in last article). In light of this, GOLD and SILVER have an inverse relationship to the stock market, so my speculation is that within the next six months when the stock market goes down the price of silver will be rising. The iShares Silver ETF is currently trading at $18.43, and I am speculating that it will be above $19 by years end.
