SP, yep, just like clockwork - gold&silver batted down on every major news that ought to send the price higher. As you probably know, Ted Butler & other precious metals analysts suspect the abundant inventory of physical silver for purchase has dwindled to very little. Once this supply is exhausted the price will likely have rockets strapped to it. So...let the cartel - whoever they are - keep the price low so everyone - you, me, us, the Chinese, Russians etc. - can buy more ozs. The remaining small inventory will just vanish faster.
I gotta confess, every time I buy more phys' I say a prayer my refrig', washing machine, clothes dryer, auto doesn't need repair or
replacing or that a family member doesn't need much dental work or get sick. I'm scared to buy & afraid not to buy.
