[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1277411, member: 29012"]I picked up most of my stash when it dropped from $21 to $10. Although I went through a mint, not a dealer so I don't have that particular perspective. I didn't say it had to happen soon, or that it was happening now. What I said was that it may be closer than expected, and it is expected by many to be 20 years out. I believe you've stated before that it would be unlikely for the supply to dry up, because the price would rise as supply dwindled, and people would begin to sell. But how is this supposed to happen when the paper market cares not for the supply of the physical market? My point is that the paper price is not a true representation of the physical asset, yet somehow it has the power to control the value of that physical asset. If the price is controlled by paper supply and demand dynamics then it doesn't matter how far the supply dwindles, because there's always more paper. The amount of silver available today should be a red flag with how much has been used in the last 50 years, and the fact that there is less silver now than any other time in the last 700 years. We should be working hard to conserve something that society is so reliant upon, but it's going for so cheap that it's barely worth even trying to recycle it. There are lots of people in the world today who could afford to buy every ounce of silver there is, and that seems void of logic to me.[/QUOTE]
