Why do you think gold keeps climbing while silver keeps bouncing up and down
A lot of folks are exchanging silver into gold even at these levels. I was surprised when I saw it first hand yesterday and it's being talked about on some other forums. There is even one here on the sell forum where the seller states wanting to buy gold with the sales proceeds.
No QE III and yesterdays collapse in interest rates to near zero on the 2 year note indicate that the S&P 500 as a basket has a better rate of return (dividends) as long as the portfolio is hedged etc. Monday august 8th 2011 was the third time in history when the US stocks hit these over sold levels. This could be adding more selling in silver as folks switch things around (move back into stocks). It took the hedgies a while to put these trades on and will take a while to undo / unwind the trades.
Also, Gold is way over extended to the upside and due for a pull back...not sure when / how it will happen. The question is... How will silver react when gold gets sold or stalls out?
