What Happens To Gold And Silver Next? Look Out Below?

I totally agree with you jmkendall. They need to fight their own battles without our help. We have no business in any civil war, period!

All this idiocy over Syria is causing equities to fall and gold to rise.

I'm gonna wait at least another few months before buying.

Kendells right nothing is really happening that hasnt been going on for a while now yet you see ads about all these important things like they just popped up. The syria one really is kind of the poster child for the ad buy drive behind the metal sellers. Its hard to get really worked up over the chemical weapons considering the "revolt" is being led by terrorist segments and the alternative is Egypt, or having chemical weapons being in the hand of terrorists like Lybia. Lets not create any more disasters and destablize the region even more. Everyone of those governments has ended up being more extreme than the last.

I also agree with Yups strategy of just go with the flow and dont try and be the trend setter for commodities. I think its interesting to try and figure out why and discuss the why but at the end of the day when it comes to what to do just ride the wave. That said it does feel like all those gold and silver places or "investment firms" were making a last stand and so far have been successful changing the perception

I wouldn't use terms like 'same old, same old' or 'nothing is really happening that hasn't been going on for a while now' to describe the worst chemical weapons attack in 20+ years. This same event may very well lead to US intervention, which would obviously have an impact on commodities. Whether one is apathetic to the situation or not, I don't understand why anyone would be surprised if it affected commodity prices.

Saying WE should not get involved with the world affairs is like saying a totally innocent man who just happen to be with some serious crooks whom they mistook for friends on the way to pull of a big bank robbery and now they want him to be the get away driver, should not get involved. Too far in too turn back. My grandmothers late brother fell asleep in back of car drunk during armed robbery and he did 10 years just for being in car. He was a worthless crook so I call that karma...

Again like Angel mentioned we were involved in all the world's business since well before most of us were born, so that ain't gonna change now....

Kind of like taking a stand to NOT eat meat to save the life of the cherished animal. If you never eat one steak again it is not gonna change the world vie on steaks, minus living in India perhaps or other country's where the cow is a scared animal....

I agree we should keep our nose out of it, but things are set up the way the are so we might as well try and stop those who would destroy the entire world just to watch it burn. As you can turn a blind eye to rest of the world but allow a Germany to control the entire continents of Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia and South America and then one would have to ask where they gonna turn their sites next, kind of a no-brainer.....

I once conquered all of Europe, Africa, Russia and the far east on a great on ps game called "Panzer general", but after taking Washington DC, I had to give it back as I could not take it fast enough to stop the assembly of the Atom bomb in Los Alamos lol which created a world truce. Imagine if that had come to be and Hitler had not dropped the ball and opened up two fronts. His biggest mistake not ever making operation Sea Lion a true go, via the total conquering of the UK, BEFORE he attacked Russia, jackwagon. He should have never been allowed to move the chess pieces lol....

That was as close as evil ever came to conquering the world rof.....

Don't cruise missiles cost something like $500,000 each?

I don't know about America but here in the UK we don't really have that kind of money to burn. Particularly when all it's going to do is annoy a bunch of people that hate us already.

Talking about Tomohalk missile: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomahawk_(missile) --- Unit cost: US$569,000 (1999)[1] AGM-109H/L version to $1.45 million Tactical version (2011)[2]

Back to PM: I am waiting for yup's update (especially on the volumes of trade for silver in the last couple days.).........

I like that we are steadily heading up. Not huge swings that show volatility but it seems to be a steady increase the past couple weeks. As a buyer I should be rooting for lower prices but for some reason I'm not. I should have bought more in the $18s but hindsight really is 20/20. I was keeping some powder dry for the even lower prices that were being forecasted in this thread.
