It does seem like $20 is the pyschological barrier for silver. The $1000 barrier was for gold last year, then it became $1100 and now we're looking at $1200. Even at today's prices, I'm still not totally convinced that $1200 is the new floor for gold. If silver can just get passed $20, it would really signal to me and probably to many here that we are doing the right thing in holding onto silver...

I checked Kitco.com to see the high for spot silver today and I saw that the high for today was $19.59. It did not shock me, but silver backed down again from that high and it is now currently at $19.27 as of 10:08 AM U.S. Eastern Standard time. It looks like the $19.50-$20 range will be very tough for silver to break. It might take several attempts at the $19.50-$20 range before silver can break $20 in a convincing fashion. Just my 0.02.
I think also that the China Yuan revaluation announcement and reaction in the equities market is offsetting attention on PMs today. CURRENTLY: GOLD: $1,255.70 Silver: $19.26 Platinum: $1611 Palladium: $505
Not very surprising with silver. Once silver entered the $19.50-$20 territory, it backed off. I know that there was news that did not help silver (china yuan????) but still it backed off when it hit that $19.50-$20 resistence area. That is a troubling sign for silver IMO. If I am wrong on this, then please feel free to correct me on this. With that said, once silver recovers and makes another attempt at $19.50-$20.00, then I think that it will break that resistence level and break $20 in a convincing fashion. The only problem is that I do not know when this will happen and another problem is I do not know how far that silver will fall before it claws its way back to that resistence level. I think that this is also the weak period for gold and silver as well and that will probably play a part in when silver will make another attempt at breaking through the $19.50-$20.00 range and finishing above $20.00. Just my 0.02.
