I figure that if the really big holders dump their silver, a lot of us average people will buy the dip and soak it up so that it will still stabilize at least a little higher than it is now.

But, as you said, the main goal for me is to hold tangible value. I'm not a rich man and I don't think I ever will be, but when the shit goes down, holding precious metals will be a wise move. We aren't going to break the bastards with silver, but maybe we'll hold on to what we have with it.
