slightly hysterical articles like this dont impress me that much.

however, what does impress me is that warren buffet cornered the silver market some years ago in anticipation of a surge in silver prices (not gold mind you, but silver).

then quietly, he sold it all away sometime before the price of silver really rocketed up to the $14 mark, and didnt say too much about it. kind of swept under the carpet. now this is a guy who is renowned for canny purchases and a long term attitude, so why sell just before his investment was to come off? the speculation is the US givernment had a quiet word to him about the negative effects of doing what he did.

yes, that sounds like typical silver website hysteria, but its not without precedent, as the exact same thing happened in the 20s.
