It Is Almost Amusing
I find it a bit amusing that the same talking heads spout the same junk, and it seems people continue to listen despite evidence to the contrary.
Personally, I think demand for silver is still strong as is gold. Americans may not see the value here, but I think many foreign countries do and that they are likely to expand their coffers throughout 2013.
IMO, if silver does trade down, it will simply be the Cartel doing it and a few others who benefit from it as well.
