Good buying opportunity because silver will go back up.

Any technicals behind that prediction?

My guess would be that the smart money wants to accumulate silver and silver coins in case some crisis spins out of their control. Since all markets are rigged, bringing the price down is a buying opportunity for them.

The most identifiable coin that has a real value is silver dollars. I think having some newer ones (where the value is mostly in the metal) would make sense in an emergency.

I agree, would seem like a good time to buy when the price is low.... Stock market is way up today partly because of Ali Baba IPO and I’m guessing Scotland’s decision. Gas always goes down after labor day because summer driving season is over.

That being said, when the SHTF it is going to be ugly and having precious metals will be useful once a recovery has begun especially if your dollars are worth 0. If the SHTF after you are 6 feet under at least you have left your kids with something tangible.

“Good buying opportunity because silver will go back up.”

When it was $26 per ounce I was hearing that it would go higher ....
