On Tuesday, both gold and silver started to decline at one of their usual times…about 3:00 a.m. New York time on Tuesday morning…with the bottom coming at the close of London trading. The price managed to recover somewhat after that…but once again (at 3:00 a.m. New York time on Wednesday morning) gold and silver prices began to decline. There was a temporary bottom at the London close again yesterday, but the recovery was short-lived, and both metals were taken down right into the close of after-hours trading on the Globex.

Daily Reckoning editor Bill Bonner says irrational investment decisions are driven by two emotions: fear and greed. For the last few years, greed has dominated financial markets. But times have changed. Panic is sweeping the markets. Fear is now in control. Bill says fear is every investor’s worst enemy. And gold should be every investor’s best friend.
