    Biggest myth in the history of myths.

    Excuses are tools of the ignorant

    Knowledge is the enemy of fear

    Yep.... sometimes it correlates, often it does not.... there is no guaranteed formula... closest indicator of PM rise/fall is value of the dollar....Cheers, RickO

    "Biggest" plunge?
    Maybe in terms of actual points, but certainly not in terms of % drop......

    So, once that hyperbole gets out of the way......the drop wasn't a drop due to people concerned about the actual companies, but rather about interest rates, etc. Business stability/instability is a different beast, and more of a concern.

    Yesterday's drop was a lot of automated trading....not actual human trading. Another difference to understand.

    "While it was the largest drop ever in terms of points, the percentage loss was moderate compared with Oct. 19, 1987, when the Dow fell 22.6% after a 508-point loss, and Oct. 28, 1929, when the index was trimmed by 12.8% (the Dow closed at 261 that day)."

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    And 2008 had many days where the percentage loss was greater than yesterday's drop. The fall of 2008 was something else. Fall season that is.

    Correction or a lot of profits taken from the table. It’s the market performing.

    The Dollar usually gets stronger when the markets tank. That’s is generally negative for gold/ silver

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
