When it gets too high ($20.40 to $20.50), the powers that be will dump much silver on the market to lower the price and to stabilize the U S dollar. I've watched these proceedings for over 10 yrs.
Silver chart still looks good since the end of Jan 2016. If the trend is your friend as they say, we should see a continuation. I would not be surprised to see it drop either though.
gas is up here also.
I think it's because of the storm and flooding down south.
another temporary thing due to paranoia fed gouging by the fuel companies
