I find it quite funny (and slightly concerning) that in the past couple days there has been a report released by CPM Group - aimed at calming the precious metals market to try and stop people from buying. http://www.kitco.com/reports/KitcoNews20110216DeC_CPM.html ...and there has also been Gary Gensler (head of the CFTC) releasing a statement saying that the CFTC can't do it's job because it doesn't have enough funding. In my view, both groups are trying to 'put in writing' before the storm that they are trying to do the right thing and shouldn't be blamed for what is about to hit. Absolute nonsense, they are completely to blame. CFTC have been investigating the silver manipulation for over 2 years and still they have done nothing - in fact they have paved the way to let it continue. Their heads should be placed under a Guillotine!!
Interesting... Silver is at it's late 2008 GFC level in terms of interest. Gold is just the same old boring sibling, who no-one wants to know.
In other news... Silver on the front page of Vancouver newspaper! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuQsWi8BpaA
