Yes it is the ( slv ) and ( gld) for gold is so big banks buy or sell big amounts of that witch affects the price. Just think $18 to mine 1 oz of silver why would anyone mine it... but the thinking is they cant do it for ever and only when they lose control the price will go up.
Don'tknow if and when it will happen, but during a market crash prices to go up. So iam backing myself up if everything satys the same i ok and will keep buying $40 a week.
