<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1387184, member: 29012&quot;]You know fatima, if you are interested in swaying people to your point of view you&#039;d probably be more effective if you cut the snark out of your posts. If I understand correctly, this isn&#039;t a triad so much as a chain. Oil impacts the dollar, the dollar impacts gold. I&#039;m not entirely clear on the relationship between oil and the dollar on a value scale, just that nations being forced to buy and sell oil with the dollar exports our dollar inflation to those nations thus preventing our own inflation from rising nearly as quickly. I&#039;m not clear what the relationship is though if oil were to rise or fall, how does that impact the value of the dollar? </p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the Silver Institute chart, industrial demand was the 2nd highest in 2010 of all the years on it. Sure it&#039;s not taking off or anything, but it is growing from a broad perspective. Investment demand is indeed growing though. The other thing is that this chart doesn&#039;t take into account 2011. I am very interested in those numbers, and solar industridal demand is projected to grow by leaps and bounds in the coming years. As I&#039;ve noted elsewhere, mining supply does not meet demand. There is approx. 200 million oz of silver pulled from available scrap every year. That means we have at the very most 4-5 years before that runs out, and it could even be as soon as 2013. Those numbers are just difficult to nail down exact figures for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
