Why gold and silver prices crashed

Jim Rogers : "A series of technical events led to the collapse of silver prices. Once that elephant gets out of the room, it takes everything else out with it. Whenever you see a big run-up in prices, you're going to have a sharp cut-back. It's nothing more significant than that." “5% correction in gold is meaningless. These things correct 10-15-20-30% every year. Nothing unusual about that. That is the way the markets work. I do not see anything unusual. I expect there would be more correction during the course of the bull market. I hope that the bull market goes up, consolidates, goes up, consolidates, goes up and consolidates for years to come. That is my expectation for all commodities.” via Commodity online
