It is impossible to guess what the game is. Stocks also fell over a 100 points.

there was a time that watching this was so simple, if gold was up, stocks were down, or they traded places.

About 1990, this was changed and the mining journals began to note the changes.

I have no knowledge worth talking about, in the stock world, as I felt that I would rather own a piece of raw land in the desert, than to own a worthless piece of paper.

Sister, Brother and Daughter, lost their retirements in the recent down turn, my desert land went up a dollar or two, at least I can pitch a tent on it. That is until zoning dept finds out and starts posting notices that you can't live in a tent........LOL

Yesterday www.kitco.com experienced a problem with the Silver Quote feed and it was reporting it lower by about one dollar, I believe this could have affected the major sell off that was seen, however, it was reported as just a glitch. If I was a betting man I would guess the feed was hacked to show it lower by some group.
