What would silver do if the US goes in recession

A rare outside the box thought. Thanks for sharing.

Quote from Jayford:

There is plenty of silver around for industry. It pretty much follows gold nowdays.

Gold has been rallying the past few years for the exact same reason almost all commodities have. No, not China.

Massive liquidity infusion into global markets since 2001. This has been responsible for the real estate bubble as well, not to mention the dollar swoon (no, debt isn't killing the $, excessive liquidity is).

Wow, an even better outside the box thought.

Totally friggin' true though.

This thread is quite typical of all threads on the internet whether its retail pikers or full time/professional traders trading their own accounts


YOU THINK TOO MUCH, JUST GO WITH THE FRIGGIN FLOW SHEESH, TRADING IS TOUGH AS IT IS WITHOUT ADDING OUR PERSONAL BIASES FOLKS !!

You could write a 50,000 page post Phd/Thesis style document about your next trade, but remember its 50/50 ALWAYS !!! - Unless you are using Gann,Astrology,Fibonacci,Elliot Wave then its 100%

Quote from moo:

Gold and silver are precious metals more than commodities. I think they are more affected by investment demand than industrial demand.

are they really? i would think they are more for industrial uses like silver in photograpy, etc and gold for dentists, electronics, and possibly jewelry...but isn't the "investment demand" more hype than anything else?

for gold no. but a lot of silver mystics out there claiming the 'investment demand' will offset the bad supply and demand picture of silver compared to copper or zinc for example
