    A recession would cause silver to tank. It might cause gold to shoot far upward
    but silver would not be under any pressure from monetarists. If the economy re-
    mains strong or muddles through silver could come under intense upward pressure.

    silver is the only metal to remain quite dormant these last few weeks.

    all indications are that silver will move to the low 20's very soon.

    not in agreement with the recession theory posted above.
  • Sell some and hold some , then you have all your bases covered.
    Personally I think the trend is up until the dollar turns around , and unfortunately the dollar trend does not look like it is turning around real soon

    I didn't mean to imply that silver would necessarily go down in a recession, merely
    that it could and quite probably would. Of course, it would depend on the nature and
    severity of the recession. An inflationary recession would result in higher prices but
    probably less than necessary to keep abreast of inflation.

    Silver is just considered a commodity by large numbers of people. Even silver bulls oft
    times see it as nothing much different than nickel or orange juice. From this perspective
    there's enough silver in the world to last for decades so no compelling reason to buy it
    now; might just as well wait until it's in short supply. But in a strong economy it's a ra-
    pidly disappearing asset that is required for a great deal of industrial production. In a
    strong economy silver coin is more a means to take a stand in the metal than it is a fif-
    teen year supply. With demand continuing a geometric increase one is always left to
    wonder when that last thousand ounce bar is going to be shipped. Under these condi-
    tions the belief of many investors that silver is also money serves to strenghten the de-
    mand.

    And I'm sure we all hope it does, been a great ride for a long time. Even the media hasn't been able to talk it down, and lord knows they keep tryingimage

  • The only reason it will go down is the bad mouthers with big bucks to blow(Shorts) Otherwise I hope it does go down because it will be cheaper for me to keep buying, lol.

    Silver will go down if they discover a huge surface deposit in Peoria, where Cat can just let the mining equipment roll off the assembly line into the silver mine.

  • if you can hold it then keep it and sell when its $18 or $20. because of supply/demand and abundance compared to gold/plat it may not rise as fast. JMO image

    Buyers on Ebay are begining to overpay thinking silver has to go higher. I just keep buying and selling for a small profit and won't get rich but won't get burned either. image

    Silver will go down from here when they discover that Bunker Hunt didn't sell all his silver back in 1980. In fact he has millions of ounces left and is intending to dump at any time because he feels sorry for the Wall Street Traders.

    If the above doesn't occur, then no, I see no reason why silver will go down from here.
