<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 421624, member: 3011&quot;]It is important to define what you mean by shortage.&nbsp; There isn&#039;t a &quot;shortage&quot; of ASEs or other retail forms of silver in the sense that all of it is gone or used up.&nbsp; There exists the same or a similar amount to last year at this time, and there will be close to the same number of coins in existence next year.&nbsp; However, many of the holders of silver aren&#039;t interested in selling near the current spot price, so in that sense much of the silver in existence isn&#039;t available for sale right now, making it look and feel like a shortage.&nbsp; Some analysts have hinted that this is because the futures traders have knocked down the price of silver in the paper market below where most of the holders of physical silver think it should be.&nbsp; So the system is temporarily seizing up a bit.&nbsp; Probably a sign that this is a good time to buy if you can get the silver close to the spot price.&nbsp; $15 for ASEs seems like a great deal to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
