MAN I knew I should have sold my silver last night for $850 an ounce!

Man, I made a fortune and lost it all before even getting out of bed this morning. I feel like Donald Trump.

I didn't check your link, but I think silver is normally reported as cents per
troy ounce, so 850.00 would be 8.50/oz.

Or perhaps it was reported as dollars/100oz?

Since they say silver was at $8 and then was at $850, I don't think it's cents per ounce, just a forgotten decimal point.
