    HIGH O SILVER BABY... I like showing some of my friends U.S. coinage. They say "oh yeah I remember those halves" its over a HUNDERED YEARS OLE.. Some clerks look at the coin and call their manager in to see if its a real coin.. Its amazing that some people don't know their currency..

    "Good Delivery Bars" [GDBs] hit $49/oz in 1979. Ordinarily, GDBs are just bullion, but when someone [the Hunt brothers, in this case] is trying to corner the market, they are more like stock certificates: there are only so many of them, so you can buy them up and create a scarcity of GDBs. If you shorted silver on the commodity exchange, you either had to deliver a GDB, or buy back your contract [at a loss, if the price of silver had gone up.] Actual silver, including bags of $1000 face junk silver [which could not be delivered to satisfy a silver bullion contract, even though their content was verified by the same commodity exchange that verified the GDBs], never got much over $30/oz. The refiners who were authorized to make GDBs stopped refining for others. But they were happy to buy your silver at $30, refine it into a GDB, then sell it themselves on the commodity exchange for $49.

    Let’s sum this thread up.... @goldcollector is a rip off con man who should be banned but is too much of a wuss to address the situation. Reputation is shot and nobody could care less what he posts. Is that about right??

    Don't forget that he's been reduced to skulking through in the middle of the night (4-5AM Eastern), when he figures nobody else is up. That way he gets to see his posts "remain unchallenged", sometimes for hours at a time!

    No Jeff it's 1am for me. I like my posts being challenged because the facts are on my side. GSR was 68.93 when the thread started and about 87 now. So you see our various opinions don't matter. The facts are in. Silver is, always has been, and always will be the wrong play.

    @goldcollector, all your posts are "challenged".

    Address your debt to @Garlicus. As far as anyone here can tell, you're still stubbornly holding silver, that silly, worthless metal, that Garlicus sent you payment for years ago.

    Jeff another day Gold closed up today and silver closed down. These are just day to day moves but in the long run Gold always proves to be the better play. The GSR is almost 88 now and I'm gonna say it again. You and I will never see GSR of 68 again in our lives. Triple digits are coming it's just a question of when. Even today at GSR 88 Gold is very hard to find in LCS and silver is everywhere

    Except in @Garlicus' mailbox.

    Do you think that after two years his hundred-plus dollars are yours to keep, along with the silver you never delivered? Is your one-"man" jihad against silver some sort of guilt-based compensation?

    Jeff perhaps with a little luck silver can get back to where it started the decade. It's down about 50 cents this decade, Gold is up over $400 and palladium up over $1500. I doubt silver can manage a break even decade but with a little luck who knows. Only 50 cents away from a break even decade.

    How’s the fast food business these days?

    Do fast food places hire people with a very public history of not delivering after they've been paid?

    I don't get it, why would you want to stay around a place that where you ripped off a member of good standing. I would want to distance myself from the scene and get out of dodge not to be seen or heard from again. 100 plus $ is not worth friendship or getting battered from time to time. (check is in the mail)

    Playing ratios or other indicators is a sucker's game but I do recall reading about bullish fundamentals (S&D) in BARRON'S a few months back.

    But a supply-demand imbalance can take YEARS to manifest itself in prices.

    I'm late to this party so I'm not sure what he's been trolling about, but I do know that playing ratios or indicators is a loser's game for long periods of time.

    That said, I note the bullish S&D silver fundamentals a few years out.

    Dude, we're within 20 cents of breaking $18. You're trolling silver.

    I think somewhere around mid-$20's in the next few years wouldn't be unrealistic. And that's average, meaning there couple be a few weeks it goes higher and lower.

    I sense some jealousy, perhaps people you know bought silver in the late 90's at $3 and made big on it.

    @masterswimmer is on the money. The person in question does not intend to repay his unfinished order. So ignore him and let this thread die. Don’t answer his posts and don’t argue with him. That would be a great way to start 2020.
