<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1172792, member: 29012"]A sound viewpoint. I wonder if the margin hikes will slow people from haphazardly throwing money at SLV while simultaneously shorting it. I wouldn't be surprised to see more hikes in the future, keeping prices from getting too out of hand. I also view gold as safer, but still like silver's upside because the average person can't afford gold in today's economy without a high premium. Although, I suppose that would only hold ground in the event that all the major players get out of the way. As Bodie said ...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> ... the weighty big boys will trump common sense and market fundamentals every time. I think if anyone is willing to base their decision on other peoples' opinions they are putting their neck on the line. It's unwise, and yeah I feel sorry for people who lost out, but I wouldn't hold anyone else accountable. There are surely paid cheerleaders on both sides of the fence.

It's unwise, and yeah I feel sorry for people who lost out, but I wouldn't hold anyone else accountable. There are surely paid cheerleaders on both sides of the fence. Just because we haven't gone to the moon yet doesn't mean the mission is aborted either :p I think we'll see a seesaw pattern of 2 steps forward, 1 step backward for as long as new money is being created at its current rate. Of course that could change, as could just about anything else that may influence things in a way nobody predicted. At the end of the day it's not about making money for me. It's about making sure I will always have some. Indeed, Yakpoo and 1970 Silver Art both called it! Although as we have seen things can change in an instant, so I'll add 'for now' as a caveat ;) I've seen differing views on whether volatility indicates bearish or bullish sentiment, but under today's circumstances I don't think you can infer too much with confidence.[/QUOTE]
