Again, I do not see the short circuit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have some quantification of silver production from silver mines versus other mines? The silver institute says Mexico surpassed Peru as the world&#039;s leading producer, and Mexico is primarily silver mines versus Peru&#039;s copper mines. They also say byproduct from gold fell while lead/zinc byproduct and silver mines increased production.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at the demand bar:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.silverinstitute.org/supply_demand.php#supply" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silverinstitute.org/supply_demand.php#supply" rel="nofollow">http://www.silverinstitute.org/supply_demand.php#supply</a></p><p><br /></p><p>See the huge spike in &quot;investment&quot;? Zero net investment in 2003 to 17% of total silver in 2010.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. &quot;Coins&quot; are rising sharply too, which I would also lump into &quot;investment&quot;, meaning not real consumption.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
