<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 1474734, member: 3011"]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 with the folks who believe the price should be much higher. The current price is somewhat above the cost of production, so what evidence is there that this price is too low? If the price was too low, there should be shortages of physical silver and stories in the business press about bottlenecks in production caused by the inability to obtain silver. Until those things happen, it seems reasonable to consider the current price to reflect a balance of supply and demand. I know people like Ted Butler believe the price should be many multiples higher than the present, but he doesn't present a convincing analysis for this belief.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
