That’s a drop of about $5.50, which equates to a decline of over 16% in about 90 days.

The big story with silver is that the Commercials are continuing to unwind their earlier massive short position at a very rapid rate, and of course booking massive profits in the process.

Investors sentiment for precious metals and gold and silver mining stocks has deteriorated quite substantially recently. And silver is no exception here, which can be seen on the white metal charts.

Those bull markets were not constructed upon relentless upward moves, but upon chaotic sometimes up, sometimes down moves.

Silver: Buy Now! Update #25

During the financial crisis of 2008, the silver price corrected 57% from the high of $20.79 down to $8.95. This correction was followed by a spectacular rise of more than 400% to $48.42. A correction was inevitable and a drop of 42% followed that phenomenal rise. So far, the silver price has recovered 6%, holding above the low of $26.43 reached last June.
