Not even a nat'ral born durned fool running his loose jawed mouth at top speed could find anything to say about that. Silver and GOLD PRICES are trading sideways, in a downward trend. Until they either break down further, or signal an undeniable reversal up, 'tain't nothing to say.
Silver and gold prices need to post some sort of reversal day: a spike down with a higher close, or a big one-day jump. I doubt they'll sneak up off these lows.
True, the gold/silver ratio did rise today, but yesterday it nearly touched the 50 day moving average below (73.45). Today it cut into the 20 DMA above (75.15), but closed well below it. So far it doesn't threaten to rise significantly.
Stocks took a big hit and have now erased all the gains of the last eight days. (I am manfully resisting the temptation to say those hateful words, "I told y'all so.") Dow Industrials lost 119.12 (0.67%) to close at 17,731.92. S&P500 stumbled 12 points (0.57%) to stop at 2,102.15. Dow has ducked under its 200 DMA (17,744) again, although the S&P 500 has only today closed below its 50 DMA (2,102) and remains way above its 2,063 200 DMA. Momentum indicators have rolled over away from heaven and toward the dirt.

WARNING AND DISCLAIMER. Be advised and warned:
Do NOT use these commentaries to trade futures contracts. I don't intend them for that or write them with that short term trading outlook. I write them for long-term investors in physical metals. Take them as entertainment, but not as a timing service for futures.
NOR do I recommend investing in gold or silver Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs). Those are NOT physical metal and I fear one day one or another may go up in smoke. Unless you can breathe smoke, stay away. Call me paranoid, but the surviving rabbit is wary of traps.
NOR do I recommend trading futures options or other leveraged paper gold and silver products. These are not for the inexperienced.
NOR do I recommend buying gold and silver on margin or with debt.
What DO I recommend? Physical gold and silver coins and bars in your own hands.
One final warning: NEVER insert a 747 Jumbo Jet up your nose.
