"why the hell are they selling?????????????????????????????... baba2

The great % of selling, IMHO, is traders, not investors. (Other than the "stock and trade" manipulators!) They should stick to commodities, where supply and demand usually dictate price, which can turn on a dime! In time, recognising the error of their ways, they migrate back to their natural "home," commodities, while we (investors) let our profits "run!"
