I've read that Ol inventories are going up and the "OPEC production cut" is having minimal effect and should be ending soon. For silver, some of the mining stocks are taking a beating like SLW because of debt. This one in particular looks like it has been tanking lately. Not sure about gold though, lots of people betting on a rate hike from the FOMC soon. Maybe people heading to gold for safety. My opinions are my own :) RT
