There was a triple top at $6.50 in the late 1970s, leading to $50 silver by 1980. There was a triple top at $20 in 2008-2010 leading to $50 silver by 2011. Now there is a triple (quadruple?) top at $30, probably leading to $50 silver...
With silver nearing $29 and starting to pull ahead of gold finally, a break of the 5-year-old triple top at $30 looks imminent. Back in the 1970s, the final test of the triple top at $6.50 occurred in the last week of October 1978, and the...
