[QUOTE="Bodie, post: 1172699, member: 30332"]Chris, nobody here can educate you on the dynamics behind the silver market (and the stock market, for that matter). I have observed this market since the 1980s; very little has changed since then. And people who bought silver back then and still have it have lost their shirts on that investment. I have been studying everything I can get my eyes on to see what drives the silver market. It's a huge learning experience, and can't be conveyed in a thread in a forum like this. Suggest you read a variety of sources. I really liked the series of the foul-mouthed "Silver Bears" (6 videos) on YouTube; good starting place...although for me it was an ending place in my quest for info. By rigged, I mean what I said in an earlier post somewhere on this forum: When certain actions are done (margin hikes), certain expectations follow (falling prices). Many institutions gamble on falling prices, and they make big money when these prices fall. It's a very simple thing to do (make millions and billions) if you are an insider. And on forums like this (not this one so much, thankfully), there are paid shills who act as cheerleaders for silver when prices are going up. They make me sick because I know the temptation is great for new players in silver. And some of them lost a lot of money lately.[/QUOTE]
