Remember the big surge in retail buying of gold back in the year leading up to Y2K? Remember Joe Kennedy's "shoeshine" boy anecdote? For every retail "dumb money" buyer, there's a commercial "smart money" seller. Works the same way with gold and silver, IMO.. Hawk

Everyone was there to buy gold and silver and platinum. The ones of little means bought silver bullion, the crafty ones bought Mexican 1.2 ounces since the spread was least for the gold content, the newbies like me bought platinum eagles because my friend told me about South African electricity subsidies and I wanted to have a coin stamped from the realm with a face value (making it potentially cap gains tax free if new laws get passed federally such as the new state law in Utah) How do I Know? 1) we were in the line ! We all chatted. We had time, lots of time. 2) since in America there is a wide bid-ask on all coin bullion, everyone including the mexican cook two in front of us, the Persian bond trader one in front, the Korean silver day trader one behind, and the Russian immigrant two behind Was ready and willing to buy their coins from anyone in the 65 person line for 90 minutes at somewhere between the known bid-ask. No one had anything to sell Over 50 cars drove in and drove away during the 90 minutes when they saw the line. When we finished, more had come and the line was still an additional 65-75 people long. All trying to buy that day. The day that the markets had given us all a chance to get some bullion significantly cheaper People from all walks of life and educational backgrounds were in that line. They all had their theories on price but this new information world made all of them completely up to date on all the different competing theories of hedge fund stop losses, cannibalization of profits to pay for equity losses, central bank coordination, JP Morgan conspiracy to help US Govt. An interesting group and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting them.
