By: Puru_Saxena
Only two weeks ago, the price of silver was rapidly appreciating in a parabolic advance. Back then, sentiment towards the white metal was extremely bullish and its price was approximately 78% above its 200-day moving average.

By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The Chinese mining sector is currently producing 340 tonnes a year and rising. No doubt there is every encouragement from the State for this figure to rise. We believe that no matter how high it rises, little if any of that supply will reach the world's 'open' market in London. Even global gold production is not likely to rise significantly from the current level of around 2,500 tonnes. Therein lies a development that, in itself, will change global gold market dynamics.

Euro gold looks like it is set to break above record highs of €1,072/oz (12/28/10) and target €1,100/oz as the European debt crisis deepens.

What is Someone Holding Silver to do? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
The clay tablets now seem incomplete. Some additional comments, or rules, should have been included One that comes to mind is that all of the above apply to politicians. That Keynesian economists are not excluded from the one about stealing would have been nice.

Also, a tablet suggesting firm rules for certifying bear markets would have been helpful
