<p>[QUOTE=&quot;avr5700, post: 1690370, member: 30063&quot;]So how long before physical silver returns to small margins (90% ~2% at retail and ASE ~10%) vs paper spot?&nbsp; My local shops are volume dealers and surely hedged, but even they seem to have been temporarily set back on their heels.&nbsp; This is the first time I&#039;ve seen them stop posting their silver prices online in a real time fashion - they show &#039;call for quote&#039; instead...that can&#039;t be a good sign.&nbsp; It appears that the same is not true of gold (yet) as those premiums have continued to track.&nbsp; So for the short term, that means gold trumps silver, if I decide to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the flip side, it&#039;s kind of nice to see my dollars gaining strength in a tangible way.&nbsp; If the decline broadens to consumer staples, we all &#039;win&#039;.&nbsp; My *pure* guess is that this particular drop will be short lived (months?) and that it will not become distributed significantly into other commodity prices (e.g. milk/dairy/beef/lumber).&nbsp; If it lasts for years and doesn&#039;t spread out...that&#039;s evidence of a narrow market bubble burst...&nbsp; Interesting times![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
