who actually causes the ticker to rise? is it a computer program that calculates the buys/sells and creates the up-tick? or is it some guy that decides to post an increase on his master computer somewhere.

Neither. Think of it like an auction. Right now there is more bidding than selling.

A close above $12 AG and $600 AU would be significant.

More like "computer documented". Before computers they wrote it on a chalk board at the exchange.

Obviously this made the market move much more slowly. Most investors just looked at the paper the following day to decide their course of actions. Today everyone hovers over their Ameritrade trying to time their moves.

Not really, as of this minute, gold has risen 1.4% and silver 1.9%.

After watching the past couple of years of bops, when PMs start up, I start looking over my shoulder because I know it's coming.

Saudis seem to be supporting production cuts, that should be enough to get us over the $12/$600 marks.
