<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1315296, member: 3011&quot;]The terms plentiful and scarce are relative.&nbsp; Silver is still a bit difficult to discover and put into production in commercial quantities at a reasonable cost per ounce.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think silver miners falsifiy their financial statements for tax purposes.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t believe the income statement, you can go to the cash flow statement and get the same results.&nbsp; I completely agree with you that the rising cost of production did not drive the price up.&nbsp;&nbsp; The point I was trying to make, perhaps not clearly, is that the rising cost of production has put a higher floor under the price than existed in the past.&nbsp; I don&#039;t agree that the silver produced today will be around in 500 years.&nbsp; The increasing use of silver in industrial applications will take care of that.&nbsp; Some will be recovered.&nbsp; Most won&#039;t.&nbsp; I agree that if silver suddenly spikes to $80 due to the actions of speculators, it will naturally crash afterward.&nbsp; And whiile I agree that someday the silver bubble will pop, first we have to have a silver bubble, and I don&#039;t see any evidence that this has happened yet.&nbsp; Anyway, that&#039;s my $0.02.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
