I don't see 30%. Maybe 12% from the very recent top, back to wherever it was just a few weeks ago.

https://www.kitco.com/charts/silver https://www.kitco.com/charts/silver There has been significant recovery in after-hours trading, but check out that "day's range". The low point was around 1:40 PM EST.

  >There has been significant recovery in after-hours trading After hours has been flat. I think what you meant to say is it recovered a tiny bit from it's regular trading hours low. It's still down over 25% on the day.

    I know it was recovering in the afternoon, but I didn't think it got to ~85 by the bell. Maybe I misremembered. It doesn't help that SLV is close to, but not equal to the price of 1 oz.

it was at 120 and now it's at 85. yes it's back to where it was a few weeks ago

  Why do people say this… ok so you buy at 120 and now it’s back at 85, no big deal that’s the same as a few weeks ago!?
  - chrisco255 9mo ago
    Clearly very few people were buying at 120 which is why it fell back to 85. It's a highly volatile commodity. Commodities markets go through booms and busts all the time and you never even hear about most of them.

      My bad. I placed a small buy at around $120, afterward it immediately tanked. Sorry folks!

        For clarity: that is sarcasm.

      Your point about commodities is broadly correct but that was a historic daily draw down in silver as well.
  - edm0nd 9mo ago
    yes, that is correct. most people are long on silver and gold. who cares if there was a slight correction. I bought the bulk of my silver in the $20-30 range and am still buying. I bought on the way up, I bought at $120, I'll buy at $85. The price at the time I buy really doesnt matter to me. Only when I sell will it matter. I hope to cash out and buy ~150 acres of land with it to hunt on and live on.

      Which was my point. Unless someone is heavily leveraged or happen to have bought at the very peak, what matters is the rend, not intra day phenomenons. I don't mind getting down voted by leveraged traders who got liquidated. For disclosure I think gold/silver at this point is way overvalued, just the symptom of what this article is all about.

      So it can just go back to the price it was 8 months ago and stay there, there’s no reason for silver to be so high. The companies using it for industrial purposes get it straight raw from the mines they aren’t buying bullions on the silver markets.
