my reason is overbought. it hits the resistance, ready to drop hard. go up fast and steady, go down violently. it is still an up trend.

I think the sharp drop is just around teh corner.

Might be a bit too early... SLV/GLD also overbought ... but could go higher.

How far out did you go ?

all red, just when get in it is green. feel not good. I think you are right.
I bought EGO puts. seems EGO is ready to short. CDE is too early to short. I suspect you are right. maybe hit 30+, then those guys want to dump.

a lesson is learned. wait and be patient.

I do better w 4-7 months out puts - if a stock goes higher I can add another put or a higher strike or another maturity.

The Euros are going to print ... that should drop Gold & Silver - look at charts of FXE and GLD in the last year you'll see GLD came down when FXE was down.

I do like your CDE idea over GLD/SLV puts though. CDE has alot more potential things that can go wrong.

I can't see the Euro holding 130 ... too many bad things can still happen in Europe.

CDE/EGO performs weird.

looks they are in a pullback (range band), and I do not buy pullback (lots of pullbacks just reversals). USO is a good example. USO's drop reminds me: CDE/EGO 's drop is just around the corner. I think lots of CRUDE buyers in this week get crushed. do not trade obvious!

all my puts are in red so far, but I stop adding. when it turns green, I may add. looks I am early.

patience is the key. I just wonder who the suckers to buy at those levels.

when things so obvious, like a nice trend well defined, always mean opposite.

normally I trade in the direction of the obvious, but in this case, I take a contrary view. reversal is a process, needs time.sometimes, quickly and vilently. CDE/EGO up so quick, go down will just 1/2 days.

I rembered FSLR did this just weeks ago, it doubled after earning, then everything looks so normal, it kind of rush toward 30, actually I am thinking buying 27 calls, then in one day it suddenly dropped 5 points, puts of 25/24/23/22 all printed more than 10 folds gain. I was shocked.

this image of shock made me see CDE/EGO drop may happen like that, I feel it is real. maybe just my illusion. I hate to be suckers. but also I hate to go against the market. since all hurts.

everynight, SILVER/GOLD dropped, then some guys pumped it up in the opening. I better trade the future directly.
