If there is anyone on this forum that thinks silver is going to go down, they are probably looking to steal your silver...
Which reminds me...
I think we haven't seen the bottom on silver yet. It is sure to go down to $7/oz. You better sell those 40%ers now. PM me if interested
Actually, I think it will go down, I just don't know when. Anytime any market gets a lot of hype in either direction, it is ripe for a correction... Back when the Dow in the stock market hit 10,000, there were a lot of people touting Dow 20,000... of course as we know that never happened. Same thing happened in real estate a few years back. Everyone was touting how real estate was a great place to invest... hard to miss how that turned out right now.
That being said, I hear an awful lot of ads touting gold and to some extent silver and how it is the safe investment. Although I haven't read up on all the particulars regarding gold/silver investing the fact that there are so many people attempting to sell (most of those selling probably bought low and are trying to lock in their profits now that gold and silver finally did rise). What happens when everyone who wants gold/silver has all they want? There will be no buyers and the prices will start to drop. If prices drop enough that people who have gold/silver get scared and start selling, even more gold/silver will flood the market and the prices will drop even farther causing even more to sell... as you can see, a vicious cycle. At some point it will bottom out, but no idea where $5/oz? $10/oz?
I am not trying to be negative, I am just trying to be realistic based on past events in other markets. I don't know if what I say will actually come true or not and I don't see it happening immediately as there is still enough uncertainty and fear for the future of the economy while Obama is president that I feel it will be at least until after the election before anything changes drastically.
