<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1277148, member: 26302&quot;]Very fair. Its very likely they are putting their money where their mouth is and feel the prices are going back up. I never claim to know their opinions, and being closer to the public their judgment is very much better than ours. I am simply relating from past experience knowing that dealers, if they do not wish to sell at certain price levels, will be &quot;out of stock&quot; since that upset people less than what some would term &quot;gouging&quot;. I related an experience before when silver hit $4 a major dealer I knew was &quot;out&quot; of morgans in his storefront. When I told him I would pay $6 a piece and up for morgans he had hundreds in the back I went through. He said many people simply got mad that he refused to sell them closer to bullion value, so he simply did not sell them to the general public.</p><p><br /></p><p>You very well could be right sir, I was just putting forward another possibility that I have known to happen during market changes. Like I said, for me its too close to a major market correction to be sure just on some observations. If markets stay the same for 6 months and premiums do not come down, that would be more telling.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another way to look at it is if $40 is your buy price for ASE and even with a high premium it is below that, go ahead and buy. Absolute price of your PM should be in people&#039;s thoughts, not simply premiums. Like Cloud I believe once said, better to buy at $15 and a $5 premium than at $25 and a $2 one, (I am sure the numbers are wrong, but the general idea).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
