When Silver Hit $50/oz In 1980

Interesting point:

Looking back, I now see it as the clear sign of a top — when the ridiculous morning radio dj with no real financial knowledge makes a buy based on newspaper headlines, that’s a market that’s probably just about had it.

Another spectacular sign of a spectacular top.
