xtronic, What you say is true, but in the long run physical supply and demand factors will win out over paper games. As we speak, the CFTC is...
Personally, I would buy a high quality silver coin like an ASE before I would buy a low quality gold product like the 1g bars. They are somewhat...
I'm not an industry insider, but 5 or 6 years ago there were large draw-downs in silver inventories to fill the gap between production and...
