Supply and quality. The demand is always there when the ingredients are right. It seem also dealer tweets can have an affect on the market as it seems to have spooked buyers away. I am not talking specifics as I was not there but it seems enough doubt rub...

.....people seemingly pay MORE money for a watch that kills you with radiation!! I remember once that the issue of global warming was being debated in the UK parliament....this was when it wasn't really understood. One politician stood up and asked...."So...
