I can only guess as to how the Chinese feel about silver today, but I can tell you that China and India were the last nations to demonetize silver...
Only if the shorts are naked, as in they have sold a contract for a product they do not have and thus cannot deliver. If they have the product...
No argument against this beautiful bar, but if you've ever seen a 100 or 1000 oz bar that's a different story.
Well just because I think ASE's and Maples are more likely than Perth doesn't mean I think they are likely. For one, 1 oz coins are so small that...
Molybdenum is the equivalent faux silver as tungsten is for gold. The other thing that can be done which I learned in a thread around here...
It's all relative really, compared to where the price 'should be' which is unknowable, but if the price should be $1,000 per oz then it would...
Nathan Rothschild has a rather large stake in the Hong Kong Mercantile Exchange, and his family is also running the show at the Basel BIS. I...
Whether the Fed is using JPM or vice versa is splitting hairs. They work together. JPM is a one of their primary dealers, and gets to borrow money...
While there may be a small chance you are biased in this regard ;) I am not and also agree that silver art bars woud make an excellent Christmas...
+1 This is another reason why I keep all my receipts. Of course some of them are chicken scratch, but for large purchases with an established...

No doubt some folks who bought at $45+ will be liquidating when they can break even and say farewell to this crazy market, providing a strong...
This is an interesting phenomenon. It seemed to me that there were more people buying on the rise up to $50 than selling. Yes a few shrewd people...
Epithermal deposition is the reason I say the easy mining is over. If I recall correctly, mining operations used to pass up mines slated to...
A recent Ted Butler article on SilverSeek (sorry link not handy, can get it later if needed) indicated that silver deposits were over 100 times...
This is where I'm at too. It's conflicting. I'd much rather be stacking at $30/oz than $50, but it would be nice to sell a little and turn it into...
Fair points, and I do have alternative investments. I can't liquidate my retirement account so alas, the next best thing is a combination of...
I would agree that the potential for deinvestment is greater than the potential for increase industrial demand (though total industrial still...
