I don't think so either. Maybe in some selected markets. Rates will need to come down, to spur more interest.There is also a report out that housing will make a comeback. If it does, it will be by market. I'm not sure it will be an over all trend. We'll have to see on that.
Of course your right.Just remember: "You gotta be in it, to win it!" You won't make a dime, sitting on the sidelines.

How do they get to be a "professional", if they lose every time?Of course your right.
But professional gamblers say the same thing.
How do they get to be a "professional", if they lose every time?
Apparently, they win more than lose, so they can continue to be a "professional",

You mean like Silver, in December and January?The psychology behind a blow-off top involves extreme optimism and speculative trading, often detached from fundamental valuations.

Written in 1932 by Yip Harburg and Jay Gorney for the Broadway show Americana.Attribution? You? AI? Or what?
Excellent point.Why do you only mention a starting time of January for silver?
Why not use a one year chart for silver, like your post for the DOW.
In that time frame, silver is up about DOUBLE that of the DOW, about 55%, while the DOW is only up about 27.5%

Feel free to post your own charts then..Why do you only mention a starting time of January for silver?
Why not use a one year chart for silver, like your post for the DOW.
Just going to mention that, and tell him to clean up and delete all that "stuff".what's up with all the weird attached graphics?
Feel free to post your own charts then..
Why do I have to do all the work?

Yep, but I think they are easy to find. Just about every financial news site, has access to one.Because they are a pain in the butt to find so they make any sense to the layperson. Here is the easiest to understand chart I've found. The one year chart shows the ginormous spike even better than the YTD charts do.

There. Is that better now?Why not use a one year chart for silver, like your post for the DOW.
Apparently you won't do any work in answering my question.Feel free to post your own charts then..
Why do I have to do all the work?
Because the numbers you posted weren't accurate. You can try again, if you like.Apparently you won't do any work in answering my question.
Not today... maybe tomorrow:I’m just swinging by to see if the Dow was all sold off…
I don't have a wallet, so there is nothing, there, for me to empty.Yep, but I think they are easy to find. Just about every financial news site, has access to one.
I think, some of these people would rather just complain and bloviate, versus put any effort in.... It's easier that way.
This chart is basically the same as yours.
Who was talking about a "Blow Off" top... they need to take a peek here:

Does that chart make you just want to jump back in, and empty your wallet?

So, why are you so fixated on just the growth over a 6 month period, an abnormal spike, that crashed back down? Why not zoom out, over a longer timeline, to tell us what has performed better?Now, many of us know that for some reason you are fascinated with the price of silver in January of this year.
There is no reason for you to do the work on posting any charts, but knowing that in the timeline of one year, starting before the high of silver of $120+, buying near the low and selling near the high, silver is up 300+%. In that timeline, January of 2025 to January of 2026, is there any point in buying low and selling high, on a DOW index of stocks, that profits would come close to that 300+%?

Silver wasn't about $40 within a year, prior to going to about $62.50+?Because the numbers you posted weren't accurate. You can try again, if you like.
That was from yesterday. I posted today's number this morning above at 10:46 AM, at 54,666. Why did you ignore that?The numbers that I posted for the DOW were from your own posted chart (about 42,500 and about 54,085). Are you saying that your posted numbers are not accurate?
