    Metals are having a massive sale, and it is time to free up all the cash possible to buy more. Save the fear for when metals explode higher, because then there will be the risk of another sell off. Now is the time for greed to to take advantage of the unexpected bargains the markets are offering.

    What I find bizarre is the metal prices leveled when the NY markets opened.

    Thats wierd, they should have kicked in the dive afterburners. ~

    EDIT: ~ spoke too soon

    In economics, rent-seeking is an attempt to derive economic benefit by manipulating the social or political environment in which economic activities occur, rather than by adding value.

    No monopoly in the history of mankind has reformed itself from within. It has always taken an external threat – a competitor – to drive internal change.

    I'd be more convinced that the party is over if my local dealers or even the national sellers were matching this $200+ drop on gold spot.

    Rather, they all seem to be increasing their premiums so that we can't get a deal. I looked at this site's main advertiser earlier today, and the cash price for an ounce of Platinum has a $250 premium. Gold has a $110 premium. Do look at the credit card prices unless you want to risk a seizure. They want another $50 for that convenience.

    Its the Palistinians.

    Every time they get closer to a sovereign nation, PMs go down.

    The better the chances, the bigger the dip. Today is the mother of all tries, so really big decrease.

    Once they are shot down with a VETO, watch PMs gain $200 at least on Monday.

    If by a Miracle they get their home address, Gold will be sub $1000 next week

    Why? What's changed?

    Europe is in trouble. The PIIGS are still in need of a bailout. The USA is still so far in debt, my grandkids won't be able to pay enough in taxes to right the ship.

    Jump in with both hands I say. Personally, I'm sick of the silver schizophrenia, I'm hoping the dip goes down enough to purchase some gold. If not, I'm digging in with both hands and loading up on the cheap stuff to flip for gold at a later date.

    What I can't figure out is why can’t someone sue the SEC and CFTM for gross negligence in allowing these paper traders manipulation the gold and silver prices every month near expiration?

    Hold your shorts, it will get better and the dealers have to get over being stunned. Unless you trade online.

    You know, I used to get this sickening feeling in the bottom of my stomach when a stock I bought would drop by even a few cents, thinking holy crap I made the wrong move. Or if I bought a flat screen and the price dropped $35 the next week or if I bought gas and then around the next curve in the road it was $0.20 cheaper a gallon.

    Now, my PM's are dropping like rocks in the Pacific Ocean over the Marianas Trench after a boating accident and I'm floating here treading water thinking of how much dry powder I can come up with to replace those falling rocks.

    Just make sure your hatches are tight and chew some gum. Meanwhile, get ready to dive.

    Ineptocracy (in-ept-o-cra-cy)—a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

    Yeah, I hear you, lol. To make it worse I thought I'd go over to the First Majestic site to see if their silver prices had updated yet (they haven't, still $40) but then I discover they are now minting 1/2 ounce bullion coins, 16 to a tube. Ah...the temptation of it all!!

    i'm taking a bath in PSLV and PHYS - - I'm not selling, just waiting to jump in and get more and more physical frrom APMEX

    Is there any opinion about buying in on late Friday afternoon or can we expect to see more of a dive Monday AM

    or is it a crap shoot at this point ?
