Subject: trader vs investor



Pittsburg, Kansas

Deltamudd - 1/6/2026 20:56 >waiting for the short squeeze It literally went vertical From my perspective even if goes higher and you’re holding a lot of silver, the risk of it going lower is a lot higher I don’t think any seasoned trader would fault a person for letting go here But if it does start to fall, it’ll be “it rallied 200% in a year and you DIDNT sell? Lol!” It’s just being greedy at some point right? Statistical analysis is screaming it’s a top Major hedge funds and banks are encouraging you to buy it “Bitcoin to 1 million by end of 2025!” Ring any bells?


But you are looking at it from a traders point. From an investors point of view, if I sell, where else do I invest the proceeds? Where is the better investment?
 
Now I am with you about taking some profits. I have been selling for a couple months now on the way up. Have more GTC sell orders in laddered up to round 100 on both PSLVand CEF. Right at about 20% cash in my account right now from sales getting about 4.5% interest or thereabouts. I have had about half my wealth in farm land and half in gold/silver (measured at retirement five years ago). That is a pretty heavy amount. I am selling for diversification reasons. Not because I have found anything better to put my gold/silver winnings in. After the tax man gets done with me. So I will accumulate cash for at least a while as the market rages on.

If it takes a huge dump????? Maybe I will buy some of it back. At 71 maybe not. Maybe just spending the interest gained will be the fun part.

Been buyiing silver since 2010. With a huge buy of both gold/silver at retirement five years ago. So I have held it a while. I am definitely not a trader. Learned many years ago there were a lot sharper guys trading than I ever could become. Better for me to not play in their sandbox.
