Dealers, last week more buyers or sellers of PM

Hello,

to all of you that are dealers, last week did you encounter more buyers or sellers of PM? I was told by a local dealer that when gold crossed $1200 he saw more buyers than sellers, but as the price dropped, it switched to more sellers than buyers. Your experience?

    Same thing,

    Before I had my store I used to observe this same phenomenom at other shops gold makes an aggresive move up, and people come in to buy no matter what the cost. Then a correction ,and they fly into sell.

    Last week , I had buyers coming out of the woodwork to buy (couldnt keep gold in the store, what little came in, was scooped up quickly. I couldnt get enough in the door to satisfy demand. Fast foward one week, after several down correction days, the $100 price drop, people were coming in the door selling in large quantities(at least for my area) so much was coming in, I had to ship it out becuase the buyers that were buying up the week before, were no where to be found or selling back this week.

    I love to see good price corrections becuase I know it will help stock the store in gold the next few days afterword.

    I guess the gold buying general public can be irrational.image
