<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1272976, member: 29012&quot;]The US government used to hold silver until they ran out their stockpile, which is in part due to artificially suppressed prices. Maybe silver isn&#039;t functioning as a monetary metal in today&#039;s banking system, but it was used as money for thousands of years and I have little doubt it is returning to that role. If it were strictly an industrial metal it doesn&#039;t make sense that people are buying this dip to the point of supply being unavailable. If you don&#039;t believe what my local coin dealers told me (I&#039;m not 100% sure I do either), try looking at the online retailers. Their supplies are not nearly what they used to be. APMEX alone was selling over 2000 Canadian Cougars a day over the weekend. You can freely look at their supply levels by exceeding how many they have in stock in the order box. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Well for the record I am 98% silver and 2% gold <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So I took a risk from the get go, and I&#039;m comfortable with that because as I&#039;ve said I don&#039;t plan on selling. Nothing is shorted quite like silver is. Nothing has margin requirements as high as silver does. I&#039;m not trying to squeeze a profit. I&#039;m looking at the end result, and silver stands the most to gain IMO because of these factors. I do believe you are correct though about being taken by surprise. I have been before, and I&#039;m sure it will happen again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
