There have been a lot of going on in the financial markets lately. And certainly a lot of catching up with the latest on the news for me. I managed to get internet connectivity after a series of periodic failures here in India [ will be here for a good few months working on the software project with a big team of programmers]. I read a couple of the financial news today and it seems the talk of the town is still on the monetary policy of US [FED] and its 'repercussions' and of course the gold and now, Silver is in the lining. [ I don't think silver will ever match gold as predicted by some observers. Silver price being relatively cheap from its all time high is NOT a good reason: The liquidity focus is still on gold and that's all that matter in any price rally.]
