XME is up b/c we expect the economic growth and industrial activity to go up. There's a similar argument for oil, though imo not as convincingly.

The puzzle is why silver is down while XME is up. Silver has a lot of industrial uses and unlike gold it is actually consumed rather than just horded.

Off the top of my head, I can think of two arguments for why silver is down: (1) in sympathy with gold as there will be less incentive to print money endlessly, (2) expectation of increased supply from LatAm and elsewhere.

Neither argument is very convincing to me and I think that longer term silver has a very bright future. I am just waiting for it to stabilize off the right MA before I start buying.

But what I really want is to hear what everyone else is thinking.
