Watching silver drop from $21 to $15 has been interesting. I'm not selling so I actually like the drop as it gives me a buy opprotunity, but where is it going?

Yes it will shake out the "weak" hands! Its scary too, but I'm not selling either so it makes no difference to me. :D

seems like silver bottomed out - but the eBay market has held up its prices at $18 or so. A dealer i buy from sometimes has raised his premium on generic bars to $2 over spot because he is having to pay more.

The paper price and the real price of physical are getting further and further apart.

No one really knows and anyone who claims they do is a fool, but I'd say it won't go any lower than where it is now, around the $10 mark. I expect it will hover here until after the first of the year and then ease upward, but that is just a guess on my part. I like the low spot because I'm buying, really want it to stay low for the next 20 years or so until I retire.
