Why is gold & silver crashing?

Crashing??

According to Kitco.com, spot silver is down a whole 9 cents an ounce in the overnight Asian markets, and spot gold is up 70 cents.

Nothings happening there.

Big drops in both over the last 2 weeks.

I got a silly question if anyone in the know can help.
Silver is @ 31.81 at the moment. Why on the American Silver Eagles did they stamp 1 Dollar on it? If silver is worth 31 Dollars...?

Quick and stupid question. i have 2 silver coins will they be worth $30 each.

That just makes it 'legal tender'. A government-sanctioned monetary coin that can be circulated and used in commerce.

The Canadian 1 oz maple has a $5.00 denomination. Same there.

I believe? Correct me if I'm wrong.

^what he said. Here is the text of the law

(h)The coins issued under this title shall be legal tender as provided in section 5103 of this title."

I think tptb may pull a deflation to inflation game.

They will devalue gold and silver to the point of running most small guys out. Then they run everything up!

Now your hedge is gone, as most investors will lose a few dollars instead of watching it drop and holding it.

Obviously with your hedge gone, you have no choice but to go into debt to feed your family.

Now you are a slave to your debt!

Just my opinion, but its been looking like this for awhile.

People tried to eat it, realized they couldn't and are now selling so they can buy something useful. Metaltards are nutters.

I am not seeing this crash...is this a prediction??

MSM was tearing it apart the other day, when silver lost $1.30.

So people are getting nervous, obviously.

But that's the idea!

so $1.30 was a crash eh?? guess I am immune to doom, or something...

Coz u got brainwashed by GLP spin on Gold and Silver.. No crash dude.

Metaltards are nutters.

Papertards are worse.

Buy physical and hold it. I won't sell until I get the price I want.

Crashing? You mean CARSHING?

but wouldn't it be best to buy when it crashes then? or was this the crash? seems not so long ago it was down around $26 wasn't it??

whats the election going to do to prices?

Exactly!

Most GLP members ONLY see it as a shtf situation. And think it would be worthless in that scenario.

First 6 months to a year yes, after things stabilize it would be the money system.

I think the big dogs are just trying to shake physical holders.

For people shorting silver, $1.30 definitely hurt. But you are correct, $1.30 isn't much (pretty big move for one day) but in the grand scheme it means nothing.

Lol silver dropped $2... That's not crashing.

I think sandy hurt the price more than the elections will.

Silver is so small, pulling that many traders out caused the drop.

My opinion only^

simply put, but yes...

'you can't tax deflation'

we are currently experiencing biflation, next will be massive inflation and then currency change

Rrally? Tell that to the people who bought gold at 700. In this economy you'd be stupid to not have gold or silver in your portfolio.

just don't eat it.. if it's paper metal....

keep the rest.. foundation of civilization was built on it......

just don't eat it.. if it's paper metal, well....

keep the rest.. foundation of civilization was built on it......

watch the Max Keiser Report on RT

and the Hyper report everyday

this is an engineered drop

so TPTB can buy it cheaper.

Keep stacking physical.

You can't argue with stupid!

People on here only see gold and silver in a shtf scenario. If you only look at it that way, they are right... You can't eat it.

But even at that, you can still enjoy your gold and silver while eating spam like everybody else is.

Only difference in that situation is you would have gold and silver to look at.

But vice versa, the people not holding are gonna feel stupid when the currency collapse happens and we no longer need our spam, and just buy a farm with our gold and silver.

Oh, and this Hyper report

^This^ Its not to be used during the crises, its preservation of wealth. So 6 months to a year after the fact, when TPTB have established the new system and PMs revalue into the new currency, you still have some net worth. You can prepare for the crises, and beyond, it doesn't have to be one or the other.

Silver is in a cup and handle formation right now, forming the low in the handle. Looks to have a price target of between 35 and 37.50, if it doesn't abort. I'm looking to buy sometime this week, when I get the signals I'm looking for. Could even be today.

Point being, don't freak out every time it drops a little. View it as a long term investment, because that's what it is. Take advantage of the buying opportunity.

Shut up and buy!

Carshing AGAIN??
