Avanza is one of the largest banks in Sweden, and in their monthly blogg, they're noticing a big movement where Swedes are selling their American funds and shares, to buy Swedish/European instead.

It's gold and silver, they are precious metals, therefore they are always gonna go up even with occasional dips. As someone mentioned, the price drop that happened was manipulated for insider traders, who bet on the price drop, to make sure they make money. I just bought more shares on investing in gold and silver.

Seems like the prices are increasing again so it was a good call to buy more.
