Yep - silver has recovered from the market hysteria of two weeks ago and bouncing back up. I think we'll continue to see the cyclic naked short selling manipulation though, until such point as events cause it to pop up hard at the wrong time for the shorts and they get killed.
These last two weeks I had bought on way down again after the previous sell-out at the local peak in the 19s, and followed PSLV down to high 16s. Just sold most of it at tidy average profit, keeping a batch that I'm valuing at 17.25, and already have my buy orders in for a next round should it happen (and I believe we might have another round near current prices left).
I don't know why, but I always do better in bear markets. I'm up 15% in 4 months. (Knock on wood.) I don't know if that says something about me, and if it does, I may not want to know...
