Concerning Gold And Silver:

Silver had not kept up with gold, in terms of percentages, until just recently. A lot of people believed that the price of silver was being deliberately suppressed by a lot of short sales. Now it seems all those suspicions proved to be correct and a very big bank is in real hot water, to cover those shorts very carefully, so that the price does not go up too fast like a blast off to the moon. That is the reason silver and gold are excellent investments during this back off period.
