So, you've never heard of -I don't really see any reason to think it won't keep falling. It was only $5 an ounce for 30 years after all. We had a huge bubble, and it's slowly been falling ever since. Also, I'm not convinced that hording silver for some impending economic catastrophe will really help. You can't eat it, drink it, smoke it or wipe your butt with it, so who will want it?
I have no idea on how low it will go, but every week i keep ordering 2 boxes and take the silver I can find. Some weeks zip, others OK and every so often a great box. I'm lucky that I don't need to cash in my silver, but also will attempt to buy some silver from the coins shop if they are priced well. When silver dropped to close to $20 an oz I bought some and now it hit below $15 I will buy some more if I can. I will stock up as much as I can.
I hold equities and await silver at $12--though there is no magic in that number.
I love it every few months when this exact same topic keeps coming up and everyone pretends to be an expert on precious metals commodities (which doesn't exist, by the way). I remember the last time it was below $15 an ounce. Except the name of the thread was "How HIGH will Ag go?" Which proves my point that none of us, even the "experts" have any clue where it will go. I just hope it doesn't go lower, because I learned my lesson when I held onto my silver like a greedy idiot when it was at $35/oz. and watched it go down to $27 before I sold it. At least I sold it then and not now. Now I sell it as if find it, as soon as I get even a reasonably sized lot to put up on eBay or Craig's list (which is usually only a roll of 40s or a half dozen 90s sometimes). "A bird in hand", ladies and gents is wise advice! Just my 2 cents.

"....everyone pretends to be an expert on precious metals commodities (which doesn't exist, by the way)."
It's an old saying: "How do you make a small fortune speculating in commodities?"
"Start with a large one."
Good luck to all,

When I first worked for a bank in 1963, the price of silver had just jumped from the formerly fixed price of 91 cents in 1961 to $1.29.
Soon, I was selling $1 silver certificates for over $1.50 due to now defunct piece of silver legislation. More recently, I got out at $40 and have been lurking ever since; setting my reentry level at $12. So while others continue to stack (and are most likely continuing to 'average down' their losses (if they sold), I hold equities and await silver at $12--though there is no magic in that number.
