popeye, I live right on the outskirts of one of the most mysterious and possibly biggest gold find in the world, now that gold is so much I think Im gonna go hunting for it, lol.. the lost dutchmans mine..
Silver's been getting hit pretty hard the last couple days. It's starting to appear that Tsafi was right about silver...in the short-term. But it will be interesting to see how it closes out the week (won't count it out yet). This may have contributed a little to the drop, but I think that the metal traders (not investors) wanted a full point rate cut and didn't quite get what they wanted, so they got out.
Surprising that Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers had "better than expected" profits; I'm sure that this also contributed to gold & silver's drop today.
