Down 69 cents as I type this. Did I miss something?

    Don't you mean a major sell-off? Usually a big purchase results in a price increase. In any event this may be a good buying opportunity.

    I say go down more! Although, apmex missed the boat this time. Seems they have their eBay deal but then silver drops the next day.

    according to ZeroHedge fears over "ongoing commodity-financing restrictions and slowing money supply growth are contagiously spilling over into other collateral." Copper is taking a hit as well.

    Money supply slowdown is temporary. All those dollars overseas that are being slowly removed from international trading by non-US trading partners will be coming home to roost.

    Buying opportunity.... likely just a temporary drop....However, sellers are not likely to drop their prices yet..... Cheers, RickO

    Aluminum and tin are up, due to seasonal foil demand for hats, caps, helmets, bonnets, etc

    So you're saying that Harvey has intimate knowledge of the "unwritten rules"? If the market is not free, but Harvey knows whats going to happen, then perhaps he should be investigated for insider trading.

    If the market was "free and fair", then I would expect it to be predictable.

    If the market was not "free and fair" then I would expect it to be quite unpredictable.

    Since it appears some idiots (even some who write about charts on this board) image seem to predict market movements with regular consistency, then I would deduce the market is indeed free and fair. Yes/no?

    << <i>My answer? "No".

    Harvey was able to predict this morning's price movement last night because he understands not only that these markets are "managed", but also how this is done. That knowledge enables him to look at the pertinent factors and predict what the next move will be.... >>



    If Harvey has this " knowledge ", then anyone can gain this " knowledge ", therefore the "rules of the game" are known and a free and fair market can be and is established. Whether one chooses to participate or does not agree with the rules is an individual decision but has nothing to do with the legitimacy of the market.

    Yup, great answer. Theoretically, ANYONE can become a Wall Street banker, or a neurosurgeon, or a US Senator, or a PM baron, if they do the right things with their time.

    In this country, lots of folks spend most of their "me" time with their families and/or consuming popular entertainment (sports, the arts, etc) rather than working.

    some small but growing minority prefer to spend their leisure time complaining about the rotten bankers, doctors, and the government

    Actually, I find that those keeping the market from being free and fair are much more predictable than the emotions of free market players. Listen to what not the FED says, pay attention to what it does.

    No I didn't sell any . It only goes DOWN after I buy it . It goes UP after I sell it.
