Yes. I think we all agree that silver will never hit $80/oz. because vamps will be civil in their food gathering activities and the world's silver supply is inexhaustible.
It is absolutely true. It is documented in all the latest fiction that they want to live peacefully (and lovingly) among us non-vamps.
Quite right, and the only reason we know about those is because the Cattle Lobby is 2nd only to the NRA which supports the 2nd heavily. Perhaps the ranchers are starting to hoard silver for a big feud with vamps.
Ok, sorta back to reality, this is a new release that is a very interesting read and inexpensive for a "science" book. Like others, I have enjoyed the zombie banter, but with the professional view such were in the realm of cold fusion, but now both are being resurrected ( excuse the pun), and in this book ( cold fusion is in another article). Review by Craig Venter: “Church and Regis in Regenesis have written a wonderful synopsis of the emerging field of synthetic biology and the implications from renewable plastics to ‘raising the dead.’ This is a must-read for anyone interested in the future.” http://www.amazon.com/Regenesis-Syn...UTF8&qid=1350058006&sr=8-1&keywords=regenesis
buckeyballs are easier to understand. You can not intellectualize everything, especially when there is a silver shortage and far too many hungry vampires unregulated by the VOC (Vampire Oversite Commision) of the SEC.
Question regarding silver demand: Will the new technologies in travel and communication require more silver?
When a group of blood suckers are charged with oversight of other blood suckers the outcome is never good.
There is no silver shortage, there is a buyer shortage. If there was a silver shortage, the price would be $80 an ounce already. There is no silver shortage, just people unwilling to buy and buy a lot ( 100 oz per day will not push the market), IMO.
These guys sound like they are related to the transhumanism movement that is somewhat popular in academia. Google that and read or view some of the speeches by those folks and you won't sleep nearly as well as after watching a zombie movie. The whole area of genetics has incredible potential for human improvement, and human extinction. It depends on which direction it takes.
Of course, silver rose from $5 to where it is today because there were more buyers bidding up the price at each price level along the way. I still think higher prices are ahead because the institutions and hedge funds haven't gotten into buying physical silver yet. A move by even one large institutional investor to place 5% of their funds into silver will drive the market up to the $80 price target in this thread. But institutions move in herds so it takes a long time to get them all thinking alike, but when it happens, my expectation is that the price will rise fast enough for most of us to miss the move unless we already own silver.
I don't think there's a silver shortage. There is just a trend that will lead to a silver shortage in the near future until that trend is no longer intact either due to higher prices, more supply, or less demand. Thankfully as humans we have the ability for deductive reasoning and can pre-empt this for our benefit. I'm thinking the silver miners will probably take off before the price of silver does. Mines will be a haven from the vampires, and should become prime real estate.
But what happens when supply is subtracted from demand and coupled with the yearly production as a function of demand?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by yearly production as a function of demand. I don't think production has anything to do with demand. Prices, sure, but right now demand doesn't drive prices even though it should. If your goal was to befuddle me, well done.
