Pan American Silver Corp. (PAAS) -- Semi-Monthly Update

Pan American Silver is looking even more-pathetic than Silver itself. There is no prudent Buying for a time. Yes, I witnessed the near 100% rally in July to October 2012 and that was about as high of risk I could describe. My job is to mitigate risk and profit when the opportunity presents itself. Right now the Mining Companies and Silver is simple on a very close watch.

That rally was not something I would have considered participating in. My previous articles on PAAS (just click) will provide you with the exact history of my Forecasting and its accuracy.

My Performance for Pan American Silver can be found below and is well over 20% per year for the last 5 years.

I just completed my weekly study of all my High Profile Basic Materials / Silver Miners - - Indexes, Companies and ETFs. This is a study that is more than a treat for me to do because I get to update and explore Commodities and Companies like (PAAS). Over and over again, it supports my Methodology of "Investing Wisely." My previous articles on PAAS (just click) will provide you with the support you may be looking for. My performance for Gold and Silver near perfect. I hope you will also check out my articles on iShares Silver Trust - SLV. You can then link to my 5-Year Performance.

My objective is to identify changing trends for my Forecasting Analytics. Simple stated, I want to have current notes to quickly refer to on the anticipated direction of this Sector and Industry Group.

A Special Note for Seniors & Retired Investors - Dividend Yield: 4.28% (Talk to me before you get Excited about Buying - Please)

Forecast & Opinion from my Study / Analytics:

Pan American Silver Corp. and other Silver Mining Sector Companies are tracking well. Although (PAAS) remains in a Strong Down Trend however, it has always been an excellent contributor to my Analytics.

Forecasted Performance - - - Bullish Cycle -- Ended Mid - Late 2011:

I made Formal Sell Recommendations at $32 to my Clients in late 2011. I had taken positions in Silver in April of 2009 at $15 and my Pan American Silver (PAAS) appreciated by 113%. That was a nice two and one have year Hold of about 45% growth per year.

Typically, "Pazazz Performance" comes from ETFs like (PAAS). Silver and select other Commodities often offer much better performance than many of my Blue Chip / Bellwether Companies and ETFs. If you are interested in very low and conservative guidance and direction - and - superior performance with your portfolio you might want to visits with me by Email.

Current Forecasted Performance - - - Bearish Cycle -- Beginning - Late 2011:

The below Table is also for your review, questions and perhaps thoughts.

Special Note: In this article on Silver I have very profitable completed Forecasting and Owning select Silver securities during the above Bullish Cycle ( April 2009 through August 2011 ) and am now working in and with the current Bearish Cycle.

I do not share with the Investing Public my Short Sale Positions during Bearish Cycles - they are exclusively for my Clients with an Asset Allocation Model of "Aggressive Growth."

However, I do continue to share my Forecasts with all. As for Formal Recommendations - they are private thing between myself and my Clients.

Forecast Bearish "Warnings"

Descending - BUT - A Very Careful Watch for a BOTTOM is in my Working Routine.

At this time (PAAS) remains in a Bearish mode and has produced an annualized profit - over the past couple years of about +33%. (that's per year - not including dividends if any).

It, however is currently giving -- both Fundamental and Technical - - Bullish "Alerts."

Forecast Bearish "Alert" -- Initiated:

March, 2011 @ $32.00

Performance for this Bearish Cycle to Date: +65%

Silver is more volatile than Gold but the Risk is not that much greater. Forecasting mitigates Risk and that is a fact.

Thanks for your interest in my Forecasts - work / analytics . . .

My Current Forecast is not as bright as you may think! (I will be more specific upon request).

If you own or are considering owning Silver Mining Companies or ETFs, the securities are definitely a mixed bag and mostly not very compelling for me to own. Pan American Silver Corp. is currently weak Technically. I have analytics regarding my Fundamental Valuation, but I have kept it on my Strong Bearish Forecast - "Warning" List for over 2 years now.

My Current Opinion is to HOLD-CASH in anticipation of a future Buying Opportunity. Yes, I said "Buying" opportunity but don't get excited quite yet. Jumping the gun could be very costly.

Fundamentally - ( weighting - - 40% ): My Analytics for my Fundamental Valuations play a vital role in profitable managing money. At this time my Valuations of (PAAS) are not as bad as they were and are improving. They are definitely not as positive as perhaps you are being told by other sources. Plainly stated they are improving but currently VERY Un-Impressive. That could change but not for the foreseeable future.

Technically - ( weighting - - 35% ): Even with this fine Mining Company, my Indicators are notably breaking down. Just off its lows at $11+ is not something to get excited about - YET! The next rally in Silver may be coming soon and that will tell a compelling story as to the future direction of the price of (PAAS). Pan American Silver is currently a Company you do not want in your portfolio.

Consensus Opinion - ( weighting - - 25% ): My third pillar of Research is one that is ALWAYS distorted to the Positive by most all financial analysts. I believe that is because they are afraid of being Bearish. I Am NOT! My articles on "Reality" are supportive of this - have a look.

I will personally and promptly reply to any serious investor's inquiry as to my very cautious position for (PAAS) !
