This looks a very similar set to 2008. At the first signs of the GFC the initial silver price was smashed down but then in 2009 it began a rapid and strong price growth.
The current paradigm being that overall economic conditions are worse and there are so many market bubbles to pop that the most sensible response is to look for safety.
When silver runs, and it will; the price moves are going to be big, fast and newsworthy.
In the meantime we have to endure gross financial mismanagement caused by central banks and pathetic governance.
Why do these people get paid so much when my local fruiterer has a better understanding of economics than they do?
Perhaps their actions are too stupid to be stupid.
