Manipulated Gold And Silver Prices?

[Chadeaux]

I don't know a lot, but the common understanding has always been that when the economy gets bad, gold and silver increase in value.

I work with several retail businesses ... in the past 6 years they are struggling to get by and one is actually looking to close stores due to sluggish sales for the last year.

These are not department stores, the one mentioned is a supply house for farmers. Feed, seed, animal care, horse tack, even pet supplies. There are furniture stores, tractor dealers, etc. that I deal with and do work for. All are showing much lower income these past 12 months, not a bit but sharply lower.

I see much the same for all the small businesses in this area, and suspect that - truth be told - it isn't just a local phenomenon, seeing as how hiring is still pathetically low.

Pathetically low as well, are silver prices. Under $20/oz for several weeks now. That is a HUGE disconnect from the norm.

Makes me wonder if someone is trying to manipulate the market as the Hunt brothers did back in the early 1980s.

Anyone have information or sources for information on this? The value of my silver (and I have a nice stash - mostly coins) has almost halved in value in the last 18 months.

I too, thought as you do. nowadays I am not so sure.
It may depend on what part of the country you live in as to business.
I work at a furniture making shop. we have a restaurant customer that seems to be expanding greatly. we have been working overtime for 4 years and have doubled our production personnel.

Who Dat!

On of my favorite memories of Peyton was the superbowl where New Orleans kept him idle for like an hour between series. That boy was mad! BTW, met his dad Archie during his playing days. Sold cars in New Orleans during the off-season at Royal Olds on Veterans Blvd in Metairie.
