How far will silver and gold fall?

Until recently, the price of gold was making regular new records, while silver's performance was breathtaking. But now both metals are off their peaks and, in the case of silver, have fallen dramatically. So how much further will their prices fall? Dominic Frisby investigates.

I keep saying silver is not for the faint hearted. But even by silver's standards this past fortnight has been breathtaking.

The rally from $8 to near $50 has taken some 30 months. In just five trading days, as silver slid from $50 to $33, 40% of that rally was given back. It was the biggest weekly fall in silver since 1975.
