'A Big Q: what is the downside for Gold and Sliver?

1. A speed up in the US economy (I do not see US unemployment getting better until Y 2015) might slow the momentum in Gold but not Silver, because of its industrial many traditional and new applications.
2. If the US Fed turns off the "liquidity faucet", not likely for some time to come IMO, there are lots of problems at all levels in the USA and the Fed Window will continue to be open at 1/4 pt to Zero rates to borrowers.

'The case for silver

Because silver is more than 17 times as plentiful as gold in the earth's crust, its use as money – both in coin and as a measure of value – is far more common in the historical archives as well. Whereas today, it holds much the same basic appeal as gold, but with four crucial twists:'
