Silver In The Future?

The US has always been in debt, and that's good for the economy.

I dont know others bankers and economist may give light for their are many topics about metals in other forum from time to time.

For me metals are stable as I observe in the news and going from one forum to another if the currency and the economy is stable as long as that system is in place,and the metal rise when the economy is unstable to where the point both of them ends or splt I dont know,It might goes to the trade of one country for its additional income and trade is by product and production, by production needs something to generate OIL but needed to buy it among other expense from trade deficit among other things that a country needs.

I'm not sure if silver will ever be able to separate itself from the apron strings of gold. Until it does, simple predict golds course and you will have a strong idea about where silver is going. There are many factors that should effect silvers price independent of gold. Everyone talks about the loss of silver consumption in the film industry, in fact, much of the silver used was recycled. Consumption still leads production, and even with new mines coming on line, many of the old high producing mines are playing out. Jewelry still drives consumption and consumer demand is on fire on the Pacific rim. I recently read a article about silver being the jewelry of choice with younger people. Price and the impression that gold is an old persons jewelry is shifting their buying trends. I personally would be bullish on silver except for it's link to gold.

I would have to agree. I had 20-30 extra Silver Eagles from my sets and was trying decide whether to trade them for different coins I neaded (indian heads and such) or to just sit tight on them. I purchased them around the $12.50 mark and have been flopping back and forth about it. Looks like I will trade them, I have been offered a $1.00 over spot. Thanks

My prediction is $42 an ounce with in 3 years.

It's hard for me to think of metals as an investment. Buying $50 face gold or silver to flip later on into coins I actually want makes sense to me - using them as a marker for a while. But buying and holding $5000 or $50,000 face? Scary. Small fish, big pond.

Where is the price going? I'd guess up, at the rate oil rises against the dollar. Or down, for the same reason. I think oil's about to start heading down, taking precious metals along with it for the next two or three years.

And so say all of us, and Tsmith for all of us! It is fun tot trace back history, and silver coins where used in the daily life of millions of people.
Because of the fact that gold do not carry any patina, I like silver coins more often.

In South Afrika scientists have discovered that there is a tiny microbe who eats stone for million of years. and after eatings this microbe does his poo. All these microbe stuff hardens and the substance you find as nuggets is just another pile of poo inside the stone the colony is living in. We have a name for this stuff: gold.

That's why I like silver... it is metal and not built out of animal behaviour.
