Am I Seeing the Price of Silver Correctly?

Postby silverflake » Sun May 19, 2013 5:26 pm

It's 6:25 pm and kitco says silver is down $1.23/ounce. Spot quote at $21.03. Am I crazy? Can that be? That's a huge move down......

I'm assuming it's a mistake. This has happened before.

:shock: It appears to be real. I don't think I've ever seen it drop that fast. No way, actually. That was like 5 minutes. I'm still not sure we'll see 17, though. I've also heard support at 21, and it stopped just above that, so...

Hi all-

meh, let it fall to $1.25 an ounce. Then I'd order $450K in halves a week :) And maybe $100K in dimes just to keep it interesting-

I dont really check kitco for silver and gold spot prices...I check ebay!

That's a crazy drop right out of the gate! Provident has updated prices and I wouldn't mind picking up a few oz. Interesting times...

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

Thanks. I just looked on another site and seems real. Reminds me of the crash in May 2011. It was a Sunday evening as well.

My new neighbor is a career commodities trader, retired. He thinks silver will go to below $10, then TS will HTF.

We will experience hyperinflation and only the holders of physical goods will be able to financially survive.

Some collect silver with those fears. I hope it never happens but our fiat currency leaves a lot to be desired. I remember being in highschool when we were taken completely off the gold standard and wondered then how money could survive. I guess we may end up seeing what happens. The past few years have really put doubt in the system.

So does that mean $500 gold then? If that the case then that's good because I've always wanted to know what it feels like to hold a kilo of gold in my hand.
