Silver Sales Surpass Domestic Production

Very interesting Thunder, there always trying to figure out a way to get their greasy paws on our stash, lol....

Had not seen you post lately, good to see ya back around, hope you had a good Christmas an New Year!

I don't know but some kind of move along those lines would not be terribly surprising, would it?

There are some ugly twists in the US tax code involving "inputed gains". This is money or something else of value that you don't exactly have in your hands but you get taxed on it as if you did. There can be an inputed profit, for example, on a company benefit that may be nice to have but that actually puts no money at all in your pocket. I am wondering if they will come up with something along the lines of inputed profits on gold and silver should the PM markets have substantial price increases. One would hope that any such taxes would only be due when the PMs were sold... as it is for stocks... but one never knows which twisted path the minds of the bureaucrats will follow in such matters.
