Well, silver is much easier to deal with (monetarily speaking) for most people. At $6 and change for silver versus ballpark $425 for gold you could have a whole lot more silver in your portfolio than gold, by a factor of about 70x!!!

So, is it unusual for someone to make a move on silver futures, or is this indicative of something more sinister such as a terror group hoping to make a profit along with an attack? Did that happen prior to 9-11?

OK that makes sense. The way I figure it there are two groups of people that could have the fore knowledge to buy silver at this time in the event that all hell was going to break loose:

1. The terrorist's

2. The Government and anyone that may be privy to special information given by those in the government.
