Overnight Low Of $29.74

Still waiting for... the political fortunes of Nov 2012 to become more clear. If they go the way of business, you can expect silver to drop as our economy improves. There would be no reason to buy silver now as a result.

Building up my dry powder in the meantime.

Strong points CW, an fine example with the Russian commander about how fragile all is, an how fast things can change....

I will say some more real troubling job numbers came out. One hundred an fifteen thousand new jobs, which does not meet the population growth of one hundred an thirty thousand. Some numbers are as bad as they have ever been, an now they are saying unemployment filing is so LOW at 8%, because everyone is giving up trying to file an find a job. Not good news at all on the job front an it is gonna get worse....

I am sorry R, but I disagree strongly on the economic recovery still yet an still think we may see some PM spikes up, in the time of year we never normally do still yet this year when everyone least expects it....

You and me both, Hawk. This the wrong forum for political debate so I won't go into it in detail, but presidents of any party do NOT have as much affect on driving the economy as people might think, or hope. They are at the mercy of the markets, like everyone else. We all know the US losing it's manufacturing dominance had the greatest impact on where we are as a country right now. Competing in a strong world market is the issue here. Neither party can change the labor imbalance in pay between unskilled laborers here and in the developing world. The US has slipped badly in education vs. the rest of the world, as well. We are producing less educated children compared to China and India and about 15 other countries. The problems I briefly mentioned above did not occur under the watch of a single party and won't be fixed by one.
