silverbullreport.com down?

Dear all,

If I look at silverbullreport.com I get first of all a long blank page and at the very bottom old articles, last one from 9th of Feb.
Does anyone have the same problem? How can I contact the owner of the website? I believe the user here is BULL :-)

thks,
Eric

Hello, Eric.

Leonard here. Sorry about the website not being up anymore. I am moving to Mazatlan tomorrow. I will not have enough time to keep the website updated daily for sometime. I have someone who is willing to help, but would need to pay them a wage. I simply do not get enough revenue from the site to justify doing this at this time. Thus, i have decided to pull it. I am a little surprised to have received as much email from daily readers in the last few days, and thanks for expressing your concern. Some are suggesting I follow the Silver Bear Cafe model and accept donations anywhere from $1 - $10 per month. If I receive a total of 300 emails asking me to bring the website back, then I may do just that. But not too sure just yet. Currently, advertising revenue is about $500 per month, so you can see that it is hard to spend 2-3 hours a day working on the site for $15 per day. If 200 people donated an average of $5 per month, I would definitely resume the website...actually miss all the links on one page myself. There are 386 links to my website from the net and growing fast. Traffic has jumped to over 10,000 unique visits per month, and is on a trajectory to hit 17,000 per month by the end of the year. I have even been offered a small sum to sell the website. I am considering that as well.

Anyway, I know you didn't ask for details, but now you have a better understanding of the reason why it is no longer in service.

Hi Leonard,
thks for sharing your details and insight. I can very well understand your position. What I though would suggest is that you put exactly this explanation somewhere on the top of the site and you will see enormous reactions from your community. I am sure about that!

Hopefully we can convince you to continue your work for us all.
Kind regards,
Eric

Hey Bull - Are you still out there somewhere? What is happening with your move to Mexico? Hope things are well with your new adventure.

Hey, Randy. All is well here. I had to register a new username to continue posting. I lost my passord, and my wife needed to keep the office computer, which was set to log into the forum automatically. I have been in Mazatlan for 5 weeks now. I have been busy trading and getting in shape. Lots of walking, running, seafood and fruits and vegetables. I feel on top of the world, but I miss my wonderful wife.

Hey Bull,

Glad to hear you are doing well down in Mazatlan. Whaddya trading these days? Better keep in touch with the wife - a good one is hard to find.

I dream about heading down to the tropics again but have a 2 month old in diapers now so have to put that plan on hold awhile. The smile of this sweet girlis worth all the gold and silver around so can't complain though. I just have to go in my greenhouse and imagine I'm in the tropics!

Remember to check in once in awhile from Mazatlan....

Hey, Randy.

I've been trading SLW.to, HOU.to and BIM.to

I have had reasonable success. I am being fairly conservative, but risking enough to make a difference.

Very happy to hear your baby is doing well.

Interesting to hear your trading choices. In silver I have been trading CDE, HL, EXK with good results the past few months. I was trading SLW a few months back but haven't traded it much lately.

In the energy area, I have been trading UGA/USO. I will look at HOU.TO. I haven't traded a triple ETF like that before. Quite the range for HOU.to this year from 4 to 242. With the current price in the $6 range, it seems like a fairly safe bet to try. Any pops in oil price could really send it flying.

I have also done fairly well with SRS and SCC in trading. I have been waiting for the prices to retrace and now with new lows for the year in I think I am going to jump back in these two again.

Good luck on your trading!

Randy

RandyH, be careful with HOU.t. I would recommend it for day-trading only. It is susceptible to rollbacks and reverse splits, that's why it seems like such a large trading range. Trade it, but don't get caught holding it!

Hey Bull, BIM.t was a great call. I totally missed the run up. I have also been trying to trade SSO.t, not all that successfully, however. I find it less predictable than SLW.t.

Also, CYP.v has been a good stock to trade, with assays pending!

I am back to my day job, building retaining walls, so maybe I'll see you guys when I'm rain-day-trading.

PS- Studbkr2, thanks for helping to keep this forum going, it's still useful!

Good advice on HOU.to nuwrldudder. I am day trading or very short term trading all the double and triple ETF's I am dealing with, particularly the short ETFs.
