    There's a strike today? I missed that one. Who is striking? What are they striking about? Do they realise nobody is missing them?

    Don't know about the strike, haven't been watching The Keiser Show for a while now, but silver is down 2% on the day.

    The_Joker's pocket money investment in silver bullion is just not sufficient to bring the fiat currency system down it seems.

    Isn't 1 May a bank holiday in most European countries?

    They're rising up to crush neo-liberal capitalism............again:j

    Lots of posters on here the last few years told us the people would put up no longer that revolt was a foregone conclusion.

    No strike...see post 8 by sjaypink.

    It's just the Silver Liberation Army about to strike into the heart of the financial system.

    I'm sure it will be all over the news tonight. Or maybe not.

    Yes, from what I understand, today's the day the masses are supposed to pile into the silver market, drive the price through the roof, and bring the whole financial system to its knees. I'm not that sure how that would work anyway. No that it matters; silver seems to be drifting down anyway.

    Well I'm still here. And last time I checked I could log into my Lloyds online banking no problem.

    Silver price down.
