<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1389473, member: 26302&quot;]All good points, but again copper is an excellent conductor at 1/100th the price. In most applications concerning electricity there is absolutely no need to have to use silver. In fact, in very many applications aluminum can be substituted for copper, and has already. This is actually speeding up in some electrical applications.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually find your arguments supporting more &quot;base&quot; metals like copper, aluminum, and steel more so than silver. I also agree with that view, which is why I am invested in some large producers of base metals. But, think of this. With higher demand for copper, much more silver will be mined as a byproduct. This silver is essentially &quot;free&quot; to the copper producer, and will be sold at any price as long as its profitable to mine the copper. So, how will this affect the price of silver long term? If copper demand goes up considerably, I could see it actually curtailing silver pricing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold is different, and is being pushed by India and China&#039;s cultural dispositions to them in my view.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
