Quote: Hawk bashing his PC. Now that would be a sight to see. Made me think of a movie called Office Space. One of the best scenes featured a copier and a baseball bat. Great flick, if you haven't seen it.

 Office Space is full of good stuff...but that scene with the copier is classic! Hawk has to see it if he hasn't already.

When I was in college, we took out a printer with a potato gun. The potato didn't really do any damage, just made curly fries all inside the printer, so we used a can of peas next. That was much more effective. Regrettably, we did not film the event :(

This thread has has frayed badly from its relevant origins. It devolved from, "When Will Silver Beam Back Up?" to "What's the Best, or at least the Most Interesting/Entertaining, Way to Destroy Office Equipment?" I have traced the malady to its source. Hawk was the culprit this time.

I don't remember if a sabot was used or not, but it was probably a much better way to have the equipment explode in our face then using a potato. When we are young, we do some questionable stuff because it seems cool (and it was to be honest), without really thinking things through.
And to try and get back on track, I hope silver continues to decline. I want to see it back at $10 so I can reload after selling most of mine off in the $40s a while back.

I don't see silver going much lower but I could see the yo-yo dance between $27.50 and $28.50 for a few more months. July seems to be the month everyone is pointing toward for "some event" that will move all markets. The Greek vote,QE,Spanish banks,etc. will probably be factors. If the yield on US 10-year Treasuries gets any lower people will have to start looking elsewhere. Gold,on the other hand,seems headed to maybe $1450/oz from what I am reading. Many of the people predicting $1450 gold are also saying $2000 gold by years end. As always,we'll have to wait and watch.

Of course there is. June 1, beginning of the end of the quarter. Manipulators are start-stop buying contracts left and right, so they can sell at the end of Q2 and report big earnings, then reverse it all beginning of July.

The May jobs report was awfully ugly, as well, although I'm not sure how much of an impact the news had. Sometimes it seems like the rise or fall of silver is completely counter-intuitive to what one would reasonably expect that it's hardly worth attempting to comprehend at all, let alone predict. I think I'd have better luck deciphering Linear A.

Actually, Traevin, the jobs data has been quite poor for sometime. Politicians in the Fed and the gov have been trying to spin this as if it was improving... and it isn't. In fact, it is almost double the "official" number, so when even the cooked numbers rise a bit it is terribly embarrassing for those who have a lot at stake in the political realm. It's quite a pie in the face when their much ballyhooed policies are not working, no matter how much spin is applied.
As to the price of silver, it is bumping along a bottom now and WILL rise when the Fed gooses the printing presses again. This will occur sooner rather than later.

Thanks, Schnauzer. Appreciate the kudos.
Buying and owning silver is one of those things that people do either to flip it for a quick profit or to hold it for the long-term, just in case. For me, it is both insurance against a SHTF event of some kind and a hedge against inflation. When I look at the people running the financial systems of the world I can't help but think that they are shoveling coal into the boilers as fast as they can but no one is looking down the tracks to see what curves and obstacles might be there! At some point, there WILL be a nasty surprise for them and for us as well. Silver and gold are real money and have been for thousands of years. Paper money? Not so much. Paper money does not have a great long-term record. At some point it always gets over-printed, devalued, and eventually ends up being worthless. I just wish I had a few of those $100 trillion Zimbabwe notes that were printed up a few years ago. That is exactly what happens to over-printed fiat currency and those notes are a prime example of it.
