What Happened to Silver in 2009?

Silver rebounded 56% in 2009 as the Federal Reserve's QE1 program and global monetary expansion drove investors toward hard assets. Silver outperformed gold (which gained 25%) as industrial demand recovered along with the global economy. ETF holdings surged and retail coin demand hit record levels amid fears of currency debasement.
