Anyone who thinks silver is a hedge in times of crisis is a fool, and can't read a chart. It tanks harder and longer than any other asset when TSHTF. Look at the mortgage crisis in 08, it went down 60% in no time. Silver is a market to be played based on seasonality. I am a self professed silver bug and have been investing in this market since silver was 4 bucks. I've made a killing, because I see it for what it is: an asset that magnifies gold's moves. Not an insurance policy, or a safe haven. Quite the opposite.
