Episode notes
Know If You’re An Investor Or Trader
- Decide if you are an investor or a trader before engaging with silver to match your temperament to the asset's volatility.
- Use that self-knowledge to set position size, time horizon, and risk tolerance so you don't get swept by FOMO.
Metals Rise With Violent Volatility
- Precious metals rarely move in straight lines and will have violent drawdowns even within major rallies.
- Expect stomach-churning volatility and plan to hold through smashes that often occur in thin overnight trading hours.
Learn Trading Skills In Safer Markets First
- New traders should not start with gold and silver; learn trading patterns in broad, less volatile markets like the S&P (SPY).
- Use tight stops, expect frequent stops, and treat losses as lessons to refine risk management.
