An interesting dichotomy has developed in the "silver market." What does it mean? Does it mean anything at all? We'll know soon enough, I guess.

There's a global migration underway in the gold market, as western investors dump bullion while Asian buyers take advantage of a tumbling price to snap up cheap jewelry and bars.
