It sucks you had to sell some silver now. I think we might be due a move back above $18.50 very soon.

Regardless of what price you got, this is the exact reason why most of us stack silver. We buy silver as a physical form of money, so when the SHTF we can exchange it to what ever form of fiat currency is needed and spend it.

I think it was @raybrockman that wrote a blog about the "value of the dollar" yesterday and for me silver will always be a hedge against inflation. 

Like what @ronaldoavelino said, is the same for me.... I may have some trouble should I want to exchange silver for fiat as there are **NO** LCS' around me that I can easily convert in. My plan is foolproof, until I come to selling!!
