That's exactly what I did with the SOXL all the way down to 6.31 and it make an obscene fortune before I turned around... Also, I don't think AGQ would actually go all the way down to 0, just maybe 40ish at the worst if it even goes down at all from its current level... So, the risk seems minimal and the reward seems high considering the overall cost... It's just a matter of waiting and holding for a year or less before we see another new all time high top... Remember, AGQ move twice the speed of SLV, so as silver rises, the AGQ move up twice as fast... Also, if you short the SLV, there's no dividend obligation, presuming you take the spread strategy... I sort of like the net long AGQ strategy since it's less complicated and ties up far less equity... You could go with 10 shares every 5 points, or 20 shares every 5 points, what ever your account and risk tolerance can tolerate... Just don't get greed and overload and be very patient with it, it's really very simple... A lower opening tomorrow morning would be a wonderful gift for a better head start... But, either way, I'm going for it, my buy limit orders will be place bright and early tomorrow morning!!! GZ

So, gold and silver are down this morning as of this moment... I gave it a lot of thought and I think the spread is the way to go since the risk is less than a net long AGQ position no matter how light that position may be... This way, I can hold the spread and then not give a hoot what the market does... If the silver market actually does crash further down, then it will generate a good profit and if the silver market decides to run right back up, then it will generate an even better profit... I will calculate the actual ration the moment I put on the spread but it looks like it's just about 4 to 1 at the moment... At the top just a few days ago the ratio was about 12 or 13 to 1, so that spread even at the top would have done okay... So, here we go again, and this low risk strategy is the hidden beauty of this kind of spread... GZ

Right now it looks like a short 4 SLV and long 1 AGQ ratio should work, give or take a few ticks... My order is already in right now to take the spread on the cash opening, I just placed it... Either this is a huge mistake or I'm looking at one of the best long term trades of the year... I could hold this spread for as long as I like... If the silver market crashes down to zero then I'll make out like a bandit... And if silver somehow rallies back up to the recent highs and even goes higher, then I'll make out like a bandit... WTF??? GZ
