Silver is now down 7.4%. A buying opportunity may be coming up shortly.

silver and gold down because of margin calls in equities - people needed to pull money from safe-haven’s to get out of equities fast.

Yes, it may. However, in this current situation, at least until the margin calls have played out, buying the dip looks more to me like -- as we traders say -- trying to catch a falling knife.

The trade I like right this minute is buying a straddle on Swiss Franc, specifically the Dec 130.50 strike.

Good trading to you!

I’d say that this IS a buying opportunity.

It’s about 20% down from April highs, which is a correction of a level that has occurred only about 7 times in the last 10-year run-up.

I’d also look at platinum, which is rarely within 5% of the price of gold as it is now, and has a history of readily trading at double gold’s price.
