Right now, G@1686.00 & S@31.50 (Ask). There's news of QE not going to happen (yeah, right).
Did anyone hear more about the South African mine? The miners who were protesting are getting charged with the deaths of their 34 comrads instead of the police who actually shot them "in self-defense". I don't know what to make of that - it's not justice.

Order goes hand in hand with law and justice, basebal21, so I don't know what you're driving at.

Theres many way to have order. Africa, the Middle East, and East Asia do not do it by being fair and looking after the interest of justice. South Africa cares about keeping south africa runnings. A protest in the mines threatens their economy. So they kill the ones in the mine and prosecute the others to keep it from happening again. Its no different the the use of slaves in the diamond trade through out africa and other brutal means. Its not right but its how a lot of the world works.

So much for getting rid of apartheid to make everything good in South Africa. What a h***hole that place is becoming. Johannesburg is the murder capital of the world. Like everywhere else run by libs and commies, it is turning into far worse drek than it ever was under the former regime. So much for progress.  There is no amount of precious metals that justifies this behavior.  |

While it wasnt surprising to me it definitely doesn't make it right. Just makes you think how lucky we are to live in a country that doesn't resort to these tactics. Often times we forget just how harsh a lot of the rest of the world really is even in these modern times.

I just read this article yesterday from Patrick Heller "London Squeeze Raises Silver Price" http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis...&rid=2197220. It's a very interesting article. He explained some of the detail regarding the LBMA transaction and "at least two purchases were made then, each in the range of 5-10 million ounces of silver". Which then squeezed the supplies of the 1000 oz bars. He went on to explain the transaction requirement and the refining aspect of junk silver to meet the delivery demand..... which should lead to price rise of US 90% junk silver. In the long run, we will see some price increase over all, I assume. |
