This post ended up spurring an hour long lecture for my wife about the premium over spot on silver lol. My wife always says I should record my economic "rants" and put them on youtube or something. Might have to do that sometime.
Should be interesting to see what happens over the next few days. There are some huge events around world happening economically that are going to be large players in the silver market. Watch those premiums closely, they are the market at work. The spot price is heavily manipulated.
