My 2 oz:
People has immune to QE n opined that Fed would not taper so soon due to a tougher target of employment rate must b lower than 6.5% b4 tappering... so hot money would b unlimited for extended periods. ... all go to stock markets.... as the risk of bubble was seen to be still far away, so gold n silver went down south.....

As the above r exactly what we fear on fiat money n therefore why hold our horse when price dropped <20/oz?
The fundamental of the flaw fiat money system does not improve but actually worsen n turned to a bigger bubble. .... so shopping times. .....
