No doubt about it downside. Sprott BELIEVES in positive long term silver trends .Thanks for leaving that link. Wayne Rogers is a smart guy . Maybe he should be in Congress! No doubt in my mind that the reinstatement of regulations that keep Commercial banks and Investment banks as separate entities would be a way to give small companies more growth without frivolous attacks that service only an elite group, who's more or less in the know..Individual investors would be further ahead.These are regulations I can live with.Metal prices absolutely have to change,UP, which is why we have so many Wall St. types telling us they could go down. Only manipulation can keep gold & silver down but banks, whether commercial or central will do everything they can to make the inevitable rise seem like illusion or dangerous to individual investors.
