No Silver Lining for Precious Metal Bugs

"Sadly, the small investor goes out and buys what they can afford without realizing the history of precious metal prices during the Great Depression which resulted in the destruction of all wealth."

Those who held gold rather than dollars during the Great Depression did pretty damn well. Especially after Roosevelt devalued the dollar. I'm not sure what you're talking about. I think maybe it is you who doesn't understand history.

Expecting Silver to Lead Gold on Both the Upside and the Downside

Silver "crazy" here. There are some serious supply and demand issues that underly silver that will ultimately transcend any short term economic cycle. If silver goes to $14 (which I think it might) it will bounce off of it like a super-ball. Look to see what has happened to silver every time it's touched its 200 day moving average after a sharp sell off.
