It is truly amazing and totally baffling unless you consider the arguments for manipulation in those markets, in which case reality will have absolutely nothing to do with it.
On the other hand...I'd much rather see the USD continue to improve than to make a few bucks on silver. My silver was only intended as a small and temporary hedge against the falling dollar.
I'm not at all convinced yet though that we're anywhere near the end of this mega-debacle.
I still find it very interesting that even straight bullion(rounds/bars)continue to sell at a serious premium to the stock market/paper silver.
It's almost impossible to get an oz of bullion for less than $14 per,(although I have managed to snag a handful through persistence and a little luck) and that's before adding at least $3 for shipping.
Like you said, "something is totally out of kilter."
Did you see the chart and comments I made on silver's seasonal rally about this time every year for the last several years? Also, I wonder if Ken is watching that and what he might have to say about it. Have you talked to him about it by any chance?
McBUSHIE'S choice of Palin was irresponsible, dangerous and insulting to America's intelligence. That choice and his continuing smears/lies prove he'll do anything to win this election even to the point of endangering his own country.DEFEAT HIM!
