The nephew says that most coin shops in the Carolinas and Georgia will not sell silver at any price this week due to volatility and gold coins are becoming scarce. When so called coin dealers refuse to buy or sell then there is no "market" for the small time buyer to get in.
Soon the ads will appear in the papers offering to buy gold and silver. This will mark the next leg up as the public becomes engaged. The trading days of Gold below $700 and Silver below $14 can be counted on two hands (if not one.)
Gold and Silver will go sky high this time as paper money goes on the strategic defensive. Like the Luftwaffe the dollar will be decimated in the coming months.
Oh well, you seen one Great Depression then you've seen them all. Those darn Asians are buying all the gold!
