RE:Silver StocksI think that the markets overall are ripe with fear and as a lead up to December folks are going to the sidelines (because of the risk/fear or even for tax reasons). How I've viewed my gold/silver stocks is that they have been steadily increasing, but when there is preceived bad market news (e.g fed, CPI or interests rates are going up), these stocks slip, but not as much as other sectors of the market. In fact, I look to see if there is an overreaction and I would say that silver and gold have stayed away from the market overeaction for the last few months. I think this bodes well for next year as buying starts up in Feb/Mar
