Put it in perspective everyone.................

Silver being hammered, down over $8 an ounce!!

Yet, it's still over $70 an ounce.

If you need another tidbit of good news......

$70 an ounce (or lower) is just the 'paper' price.

True physical selling price is still over $80 in China and I'm quite certain we'll be kicking ourselves soon for not buying silver AND platinum at these bargain prices today when not compared to six months ago, but rather, from twelve months from now.

    When gold and silver move together, it signals the coming end of fiat money.

    reuters is claiming the rapid decline is because "investors booked profits and a market perception of reduced geopolitical risks curbed safe-haven buying." LOL

    Investors were taking profits and contined to do so at $50. Safe haven buying is not what drove silver to $80.

    Weak hands dropping out due to margin requirement increases and position limit decreases. No biggie.

    I agree really not so bad, it was going to happen. If it stops around here we’re golden.

    Selloff’s are an important part of market actions. This is the first time in 14 years that the COMEX has increased margin 2 times in less than two weeks. They are trying to push silver prices down but I really think they don’t realize that there are 2 separate markets. Papers being sold off but there is still not enough metal in the vaults for all the contracts that are standing for delivery. Time will tell but I’d bet they can’t make Gold from lead or silver from paper.

    silver's price is spiking and with that is volatility.

    it's all about protection

    COMEX is freaking out and very worried.

    It was a liquidation and it's going to take awhile to sort it out. There are factors at work not being discussed.
