Many investors, and speculators were in the stock market with narrow margins. For instance they put up 10%, and borrow the other 90% from the broker. When the stock drops in value, a margin call is generated, and the investor must either come up with money to maintain the margin on the stock or sell it. If they sell it, that decreases the price of the stock further. If they invest more money it has to come from somewhere, and for many that is from precious metals. So that drives the value of metals down, when it should normally be going up.

It's in panic mode, people in panic do not think, the mob does not think logically it will be the stamp of crazy cattle and sheep. Some rich elites aty the top will make their pounds and shekels, they will sell hysteria
