Will we see $30 Silver today?

[SilverMagnet]

Gold currently at 1406.1 while Silver hit a high of $29.34 so far. Will the markets close at over $30 for Silver?

[Neuro]

Doubt it will go up another 80c from here today!

[Silver Shield]

Next week is $30...

[SLV^GLD]

It's a tough call but I'm going with the crowd consensus and say, "no". I'm still calling $30 by the end of December but I wouldn't get too gung-ho for next week, either... although I'm thinking, "yes". I could see an early week slide back to $26.50 and a water tread to buoy it back under $30. $30 Silver I think will quickly lead to $35 and back to $32.50 for some more see-saw action on the way to da moon.

I hate doing this stuff, but what the heck. Sometimes it is fun being wrong.

Being wrong?

What's that like?


I thought I was wrong once but it turned out I was mistaken.

I voted for the Great Value Carrot option because Great Value Carrots seem to the the biggest thing going on since sliced bread. :D On a serious note, it does not matter to me if we see $30 silver or not. The only thing that matters to me is that silver finishes at $23 or above on December 31, 2010 so I can say that this gut feeling prediction that I made earlier this year was right for a change. ;D

Does anyone have any documentation that sliced bread was really that big of a thing? Seems to me sliced bread's only advantage is not needing a knife to slice it and maybe that the end user doesn't smash the bread trying to cut it with a dull knife. Considering that sliced bread is probably fairly ancient I find it hard to believe that the advent of sliced bread didn't occur during a time period when most everyone was running around with sharp knives on their person at all times.

The big downside to sliced bread is the increased surface area by which molds and moisture make for ruined bread (moldy and stale). Assuming the end user has a sharp knife handy it seems the whole loaf would be preferable to sliced bread any time.

Anyway, the whole phrase, "best thing since sliced bread", has always rubbed me the wrong way like that.

Imagine being a mother of five or six kids and needing to get breakfast cooked quickly in the morning and also packing sandwiches for all of them.

Yeah, sliced bread was a great thing. It became a super convenient food. It was the precursor to fast food. It really was.

I'm imagining the advent of sliced bread occurred during a period of time when mothers didn't send their kids away to government indoctrination camps. Kids were either part of the homemaking or they were farmhands/fishermen/daddy's right hand dude.

Ziopedia has this to say on the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliced_bread

So, here we see the phrase itself occurred with the advent of a bread slicing machine and the context of the phrase was more about the industrial utility than the convenience for the homemaker.

I'm certain sliced bread occurred centuries ahead of 1928, though. At least this explains away the phrase and I can sleep better at night. 8)

Hey SLV^GLD, I personally do not have any documentation on that but I think that Google (or Scroogle) might have some documentation on that.

;D

Effects

While the commercially sliced bread used uniform and somewhat thinner slices, people ate more slices of bread at a time, and ate bread more frequently, because of the ease of eating another piece of bread. This increased consumption of bread and, in turn, increased consumption of spreads, such as jam, to put on the bread.

The 1943 U.S. ban on sliced bread

During 1943, U. S. officials imposed a short-lived ban on sliced bread as a wartime conservation measure. The ban was ordered by Claude R. Wickard who held the position of Food Administrator, and took effect on January 18, 1943. According to the New York Times, officials explained that "the ready-sliced loaf must have a heavier wrapping than an unsliced one if it is not to dry out."

Yes I thought I was wrong when I sold all my silver at 19.30 in February/March 2008, to buy land, and it went up to 21.30 in less than a week. I also thought I was wrong when I bought Silver at 16 dollars, and continued buying until the low teens, and it went down to 8.50 in November 2008. Lastly I thought I was wrong when I planned on selling silver when it was 28 and change a month ago, but I was too busy to go and sell. I wouldn't have been able to go and buy it back in the 25's anyway, since I was on holiday.

Damn it seems like someone is looking after me...

Sliced bread means less time preparing food and more time for Dancing with the Stars...

I do not think that "bucky" will get "wood" because my gut feeling is telling me that next week, we will see the DOG stab "bucky" in the dick and for good measure it will hit $30. :D

What an amazing run up this has been, I think I am still in disbelief of $29 silver, and $1400 gold. My first gold eagle I bought for $825. I bought silver eagles for $12.60 on an apmex special.

Wish I still had them all, damn boating accidents. :)
