Starting to at least think about buying Silver again

I'm not there yet, but at $18.68 spot, I decided it was time to start thinking about it. When the time is right, I will be looking to start dollar cost averaging as the price (hopefully) continues to step down.

Looking at Ebay, 90% halves (one of my preferred choices) are now selling at around 17x face, delivered, which translates to around $23.50 per ounce. A $4.82, or 26% premium is still way too high in my book, so I'll be waiting not only for a further price drop, but also a bit of price convergence with the small player physicals.

Of course, there's no certainty that prices will continue to drop, but dollar cost averaging would be a bit of a hedge there.

Most of my silver was acquired 10+ years ago, at an average cost of under $10.00 per ounce. I do expect prices to increase long-term, and wish to add to my holdings whenever I believe prices are approaching a low in the cycle.

Comments are welcome.

If the prices stay low for a while or get lower, some of the more bearish posters here will look like financial geniuses if they can get in on phys at such lower prices.

In all my past investments I always seem to be too early in buying and selling. I do feel though that in this market, there will be a day when you will wake up and check the prices and they will have shot up like a rocket for some unforeseen reason. If a person can be nimble they can come out very well. I am happy to keep buying as I can afford and have my overall cost per ounce decrease each time I can buy at these lower prices.

Since I've found 80$ face value of silver coin roll hunting I guess my price averaging will be fine if I buy now. Think I'm going to try to buy around 80-100$ face value. That way my average is about 10$ per ounce.
Sound okay?
