[Grieve]

Gold and silver fell because of margin calls as stocks fell, not because of weakness in the metals. In other words, if you owned stocks on margin (borrowed money), when they fall suddenly, your broker comes calling for cash. So you have to sell your gold and silver to raise that cash. I expect both to go back up.

Stocks...i don't know. It seems overblown, but people are spooked by the last crash. They may just get en mass rather than risk staying in.
