Q:  Investors are likely to feel that they will see lower levels on gold and silver, and some people might jump in because they see a buy on dips kind of story? How should a retail and personal finance investor approach this selling?

Which means look again at your portfolio; look at your financial goals. Usually, gold should be part of every portfolio including debt and equity because the correlation between debt and equity is negative. Which means when equity is performing well, debt will give you poor returns and when debt is performing well, equity will give lower returns. However, gold does not have any relation to either of this. To that extent, gold acts as a balancing factor.
