The last two attempts at this manipulation have failed costing the banks millions when the contracts come due for physical delivery. - Freedom

One would think that after bashing their thumbs like that they would learn not to swing that hammer! Good on 'em, though.

It should hovering around $85.00 dollars right now, but thanks to the manipulation of silver it is half of what it should be.

On behalf of silver buyers everything, I say this to those who have suppressed the price of silver: THANK YOU!!

I don't know much about the mining process, but perhaps it takes more manpower to mine gold? - Libertad

A lot of the gold and silver that comes from mines, does not come from dedicated gold or silver mines. It comes from the copper mines. I don't know the exact numbers but... it would be something like this... for every ton of copper than produce, they also produce a pound of silver and an oz. of gold. In some mines, the value of the gold and silver they recover is enough to pay the fixed costs of their copper mining operations.

Most of this talk has been advanced by people who want to visualize silver as being of medical importance and present silver , elemental, oxides,colloidal, etc., as something new and vital. Their claims are generally made in blogs or websites with little or no evidence to back up the claims. The effects of silver on microorganisms has been known for more than a century, but other techniques, generally have much better results. - DesertGem

I agree that there is a lot of hype out there but there is also some truth out there as well. As a person who is prone to eye infections, I can tell you that an infection that takes 8-10 days for a prescription antibiotic to cure can be cured MUCH more cheaply by a dilute silver sulfate solution in about 3 days. Considering that these infections are seriously painful as well as completely debilitating, I vote for the 3-day cheap cure vs. the 8-10 day expensive cure. I've know because I've used both. Maybe others have not had this same experience but this is how it is with me.

I don't know if its true or not but I've heard estimates that there is about 500 lbs of silver in a cruise missile. - GoThunder

That seems to me to be an excessive amount. If someone said that a cruise missile contained 500 grams of silver, I could see that as reasonable. Satellites also consume a considerable quantity of silver and gold as well but I do not know how much... several pounds, I would think. Some of these things cost $300,000,000 or more, so they ought to have something in there that is pretty spendy.
