>These Next Few Days Could See Significant Price Resolution For Silver Investors  - Dan Dontrose - The Fundamental View
Awhile back, the market news was all about how China was stockpiling raw materials. I remember copper was mentioned quite frequently. Now Chinese demand has tapered off.

An analogy. You are expecting a hard winter ahead. You get busy stocking the pantry with all the staples. After some time, you notice you have a pallet full of 50# sacks of flour. You determine this is adequate and notice you have plenty of sugar too. Your buying level drops to consumption level.

In the market, a 10% rise in demand fuels the snot out prices (bubble bath anyone?). A 10% drop in demand is almost catastrophic (who pulled the plug?).

Success demands knowing the difference between consumption and consumer stockpiling. Silver might languish a while as industrial demand levels off or even drops (consumer liquidity).
