[QUOTE="masterswimmer, post: 7337109, member: 102022"]With your logic the price of silver should have hit the $80/oz in 2005-2010. There was only twice in history that silver ever hit $50/oz. The first time was in 1980, and that time it was manipulated by the Hunt brothers. 25-30 after that would have been the 2005-10 timeframe. Not only didn't it hit $80/oz, it failed to even reach the $50 plateau again. It did however hit $50/oz one other time, in 2011. The supplies of silver still unmined in the earth makes it an unbelievably common element. There is no shortage of silver. With your quoted statement that in 25-30 years silver might reach $80/oz you've conveyed that you're looking to invest in silver based on a wish and a prayer. Nothing factual suggests, even remotely, that silver will eclipse the already short lived $50/oz it only reached twice (once with illegal manipulation) in history. I'd suggest buying silver to satisfy your desire to hold a nice bar of silver. Doing it as a part of an investment portfolio is a fools errand. It's a collectible, nothing more.[/QUOTE]
