The metals get punished

by Rob on September 9, 2008

All across the board, precious metals took a beating today.  Here are the final numbers:

  • Gold: $777
  • Silver: $11.26
  • Platinum: $1216
  • Palladium: $230

Quite the opposite of when I was expecting.  At this point one has to ask – how low can they go?  It isn’t too far-fetched to say we’ll see gold dip into the low 700 range this week.  Silver could dip well into the $10′s.  Platinum has mid $1000′s written all over it – and Pallladium could be a sub $200 metal very soon.

The last few weeks have been brutal for holders of precious metals – worse than I’ve seen since becoming an investor.  If your hands are strong, hold on – but hold on tight.  The ride will be bumpy.
