Stock Du Jour (SLV) & Random Observations

Choppy, tricky day that ended on a low note.

Notable New Lows: Blackstone (BX) and Fortress Investment Group (FIG); about a million homebuilders - LEN, PHM, HOV, CTX, SPF, MTH, etc.; Newmont (NEM); and a lot of biotech: Genentech (DNA), Human Genome (HGSI), Encysive (ENCY), Sepracor (SEPR) and Atherogenics (AGIX).

Notable New Highs: Life Partners (LPHI) - this has gone from $10 to $40 in four months; Parametric (PMTC); Tween Brands (TWB); and Quidel (QDEL).

Silver (iShares Silver Trust (SLV)) dropped hard on about four times average volume. Here’s a weekly chart for some perspective.

    intersting times.

    Long some silver and gold stocks but that trend could be in trouble.

    So much inflation and yet the disconnect.
