Take a look at a NASDAQ price chart for 2000 through 2002. It ranged from about 5000 to 1200. Or a Dow chart from 1929 through 1932 when it...
I don't understand why that is a problem. The US Mint isn't saying ASEs are worth $1 each. They sell them for a price related to the silver content.
It is relevant, which is why the true value of silver is lower than what you believe it should be. Prices are set at the margin. Of course if...
And yet you just did. Very clever. :devil:
They can pay you zero for it if they want.
While it is a mathematical certainty that 49.999% of the people here are below the average, few people are idiots. The problem with politics and...

$20? Sure. $5? Maybe in a deflationary depression. But if this happens, it might not be the buying opportunity you think. It would probably...
So just to be clear, is it your position that none of the contracts are for hedging or for speculation? Every contract ends in physical delivery...
I'll make that trade any day of the week.
The price of silver has risen from about $5 to the present level in a little more than a decade. The burden of proof for too low of a price lies...
