I take it then that your would be doubly uncertain of investing, at this time, in any of the silver shares. And that you would view those companies such as Apex and Paas, which are dependent on a higher silver price prior to being able to get into significant production, as very dangerous at their current levels. Also, a propos of Butler's letter, which I have posted here, it will be interestng to see if it has the effect of discouraging future short selling raids. As Butler noted, there was no market reason for a 40 cent drop. Since it was a clear manipulation, charting it, as if it reflected basic market forces, is inaccurate. Therefore looking at the charts for advice on future price movement is not helpful. If this is the case, as I believe it is, silver should recover, soon, to its level prior to this raid. Then, again as Butler noted, the question is, will the crooks do it again or will they be quietly chastised and threatened by the authorities.
