Some of this may be speculation, but with the way the economy has been hurting and the dollar heading a bit south...I don't see this hit on Gold and Silver as long lived.

History has shown that when rough times come and the crudd hits the fan, the sure things in life are what lasts...The dollar is paper with numbers on it that tell you what it is "worth." What our economy was built on was a dollar backed by gold...Since we were taken off of that, the dollar has continued to hurt and become de-valued.

Now, I'm not at all a "dollar hater"; The dollar has provided me with all that I call my own in my life, and I would truly like to see the dollar continue to be a powerful currency in the world market.

But like history has shown, when tested by fire, paper burns to ash, but precious metals are purified...Take courage Gold and Silver investors!!
