it is BAFFLING that silver is down TWENTY #$%'ing PERCENT in the last three days with physical silver not even being available at golddealer.com and barely available at apmex.

Just goes to show that no matter how they manipulate the paper price of silver, getting your hands on the physical stuff can be a whole 'nother ball game. I think this telegraphs the future risks people may be exposed to in putting their money in ETFs instead of holding the physical.
