Message:: [QUOTE="Rono, post: 1690974, member: 6492"]Geez, folks, Have we been invaded by tourists?  Is this a Dead Cat Bounce [read:  if you drop a dead cat from high enough, it might bounce, but it's still dead - refers to a sharp drop in a price of a stock or traded asset followed by a brief rise only to drop further.] It could be but I really don't think so. The fundamenals have not change at all.  In the past 90 days, inflation has stayed the same, the dollar has stayed the same, the economy and uncertainty have remained the same.  Nothing changed - except Cyprus?!??!?!?  Rubbish.  The paper POG and POS are being driven by market forces and not by fundamentals.  Because the fundamentals have not changed I see the overall demand remaining about the same for most of the world.  Central banks are still buying, industrial usage is still strong and growing, numismatic demand is still strong, survivalist demand is still strong.  Where you are seeing weakness is the paper securities market technicals - the ETFs and institutional buyers and traders.  feh.  Watch the physical market - both supply availability and premium.  I bet you'll see some supplies get weak and premiums increase.   This is symptomatic of a demand/supply situation where prices are controlled and artificial.  So, no, I do not see any great downside crash to either gold or silver.  They might go down some more from here but nothing huge. peace, rono[/QUOTE]
