<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 6246087, member: 73983"]Essentially it was a HUGE physical rush. Over this last weekend, people were ordering around 12X as much physical over the weekend from the online dealers. Most of the online dealers shut down their sites on Sunday morning until the opening of the Asian markets. There was a $2.00 spike at the opening and in fear of the prices shooting higher before they could acquire more physical, the online dealers adjusted the premiums up substantially. This was to slow down the online orders as well as hedge against the likely possibility (at the time) of a larger move up on the spot price. The online dealers were also having a lot of trouble trying to source physical from their suppliers. The ball rolls down hill from there.</p><p><br /></p><p>So for now, the premiums are ridiculous and people are still willing to pay it. Once the demand for physical decreases and wholesalers start getting silver to the dealers, the premiums will start to go down. Unfortunately, it's probably going to be around April, before things start to normalize, assuming nothing happens between then and now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
