I'm sorry that you didn't get the returns you were hoping for. From what I hear and read, there's a lot of manipulation that's causing the prices to be so low. If silver were to be at its true level, they worry that people would see that as a sign of a weak economy... which is really is.

Hopefully you're able to get a good return on your money at some point. Things are going closer and closer to chaos, so even if that's what's required, I wouldn't bet against silver having big gains soon. Just my opinion though.
