what idiot was buying silver at that time? The Hunt brothers? Nobody I know bought silver then, they were melting down grandmas flatware and cashing it in. Anyway we are not anywhere near a bubble in PMs

Let us remember why silver is down . The US government stepped in and made it illegal to store or own more than a certain amount . The amount you can short is unlimited . My point being that all it takes to screw up a run is a government with an agenda . Yes the Silver price was high because of what the Hunts were doing but it was not just them that created the bubble . The low price of silver since the 80s is a result of poorly written laws that stack the odds in one direction.
