<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1400234, member: 26302"]I understand the sentiment, but let me put this into context. What if you bought a truckload of silver, (which would still be tens and tens of thousands of dollars), at $15, then it goes down to 12, then 10 then 8. Life happens in the meantime, and all of this money you have tied up, (having to pay for security), making no money, etc. Everyone here is now used to silver being priced at $25-35, but that is just our expectation. The same expectation existed in the early 80's, and silver kept falling. Many people I know bought at $20 thinking they were getting a screaming deal. Some bought more at $15, then $10, all the while it kept falling. Dealers were charging high premiums because they thought it would go back up and didn't want to sell "at a loss". The expectation of prices was the same back then as today, and those who wagered long lost. Maybe today you would win, but its not guaranteed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
