I'm sure China, Russia, India, Turkey, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Korea, and many other non-Western nations will greatly appreciate you helping to drive the price lower so they can buy more metal at a lower cost.
Having tumbled through important technical levels on Wednesday, gold and silver are set to become even cheaper in the days ahead and this will surely accelerate what will someday be looked back upon as one of the greatest transfers of wealth in history - from West to East.
In the West, we print more paper money and sell gold while, in the East, they continue to trade in this same paper money for dumb 'ol gold that just sits there and provides no return.
Though they keep this sort of thing secret and probably won't tell the world how much gold they own for many years, officials at China's central bank are no doubt buying the yellow metal as fast as it's being shed from the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD).
Silver ETF holdings such as those in the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) have been remarkably resilient amid the recent selling and this indicates still steady domestic demand, but U.S. hedge funds and U.S. futures traders just can't seem to get rid of their precious metals positions fast enough.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Wall Street Strategies]
Naturally the news is a big positive for the industry, with Chinese solar names like Yingli (YGE), Trina (TSL), Canadian Solar (CSIQ) -- which is actually Chinese despite its name -- JinkoSolar (JKS), JA Solar (JASO), and LDK Solar (LDK) each up more than 10% at midday. The Guggenheim Solar ETF (TAN), which tracks several global solar companies, was up 8%, breaking to a new 52-week high.

Solar tariffs in Europe started at a low 11% rate last week, but if a deal between Europe, China, and even the U.S. isn't reached by Aug. 6 then they could go up to as much as 68%. This is clearly a negative development for Chinese manufacturers like Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE ) , LDK Solar (NYSE: LDK ) , and Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL ) , but it's not necessarily good for U.S. companies either. First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR ) has little presence in Europe right now and SunPower (NASDAQ: SPWR ) won't see much benefit from tariffs either. In the end, tariffs are bad for nearly everyone, a sentiment Travis Hoium covers in the video below.�

Other companies of note that will be hurt will be LDK Solar (LDK), Suntech Power (STP), JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (JASO) and Renesola (SOL) among others. Some these are already hanging on by a thread because of taking on too much debt and defaulting on bonds.
