    Surprisingly to many that the price of gold and silver are slipping downward, price for gold is $4660 and silver is down to $64 and change and they're still on a downward trend. With any luck, it goes down a little bit more and more importantly dealers start dropping their crazy friggin' premiums! :D

    There will be higher highs in the future, even in inflation-adjusted (not nominal) dollars.

    I just don't know whether any of us will live long enough to see it.

    The drop is the calm before the storm.

    I think that's one (of many) reasons so many people were selling the hype train - if you look at inflation adjusted prices, we didn't get anywhere near the peak of the 1980 Hunt Brother's spike. That peaked at (inflation adjusted) values of around $170. People reasoned that we weren't anywhere near that... and completely ignored the fact that peak was incredibly manipulated.

    And look what happened to the price when that bubble popped!

    No. It got down to $64.

    It is back up on another mini-bounce.

    I swapped out most of my bullion gold for more numismatic gold last year, so I'll ride out the storm without caring too much. I've never been much of a "stacker", really.

    Gold didn't have the hyperbolic increase that silver did. It had a massive run-up, and if it continued would have reached the same hysteria, but because gold is so much mor expensive it needs a lot more momentum. If you look at the 3 year or 5 year chart, you see the beginnings of a hyperbolic rise.

    When the silver bubble popped, the gold pimple popped as well. You aren't seeing the same swings as silver, but gold reached a peak and dropped dramatically at the same time.
