<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1156319, member: 3011&quot;]I don&#039;t agree.&nbsp; Annual supply frequently doesn&#039;t match annual demand.&nbsp; That&#039;s what causes surplus and shortage situations that must eventually be reflected in the price.&nbsp; For something like silver where there has historically been a large inventory until recently, annual supply was less than annual demand for a long time with the difference made up by the liquidation of inventories.&nbsp; And I find it difficult to believe that industrial usage of silver is a virtual constant.&nbsp; Think about it -- the data shows mine supply increasing but industrial demand constant, yet the price of silver rose a lot over the same period.&nbsp; I know that your answer is &quot;investment&quot; but it isn&#039;t satisfactory.&nbsp; The charts assume &quot;investment&quot; is coming out of current production and make no reference to increases and decreases in world inventories.&nbsp; It looks like their plug figure to me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know what agenda the organization might have, but their numbers don&#039;t pass the reasonableness test for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
