    "It's funny because it's true." I'll never get that either, my friend.

    I remember when I was paying 25c/gal for 103 octane Sunoco. I'd much rather see the gas take a nosedive.

    Even if it meant going back to the salary you were getting back then? :devil:

    This brought back memories of 'gas wars'. Not sure how many here remember those, but dealers across the street from each other would start lowering their price in a war to get the most business.

    Remember when all of those geeks were paying hundreds or thousands for old pennies?

    That was freaking hilarious.

    What was that about not throwing stones? :)

    Me too! I remember selling junk at 32 times face and then Bin Laden getting killed a few days later. My funds went towards my new car :)

    I started saving that junk silver when you could buy it under 10 times face...I remember buying silver dimes for 75 cents to a buck! And the first bars I ever bought were $12-14/oz. I have never paid more than $32 an oz. Probably a bit of luck involved, but I think I did pretty well :)

    Morgandude11 As long as it's Silver, I'm listening

    Not at all. Once Gold drops SIGNIFICANTLY, and retreats to the $1000 level, you will see Silver rise up. It is like the Stock Market--cyclical, and Silver and Gold have inverse relationships.

    So far what we have seen is Silver and Gold charts moving are close together what makes you say they have inverse relationship? Only factor that would make it other wise is Silver is industrial usage which can bring it down if there is severe recession (reducing industrial and leading to sell off inventories).

    I agree. Lots have been made of silver as an industrial metal, but very rarely have i senn them demonstrate an inverse relationship. Gold and platinum maybe, but not gold and silver.

    no one here owns enough of it to make any real money, example 100,000 dollars worth. Just goobers with a few hundred ounces
