Silver Too Attractive To Ignore

when do you guys predict a $32 mark? because that's when I'm looking to sell inless anybody on here (which I doubt,) wants to buy for 32 an oz.

The buying market was terrible in 2005 to 2008. I was looking for a house in 2008 and they were still all too expensive. We didn't buy that year because we couldn't find a decent house under $100,000. I'm sure plenty of other people who were considering buying a house didn't do it because it was way too expensive. When we were looking this year, the houses we were seeing at $100,000 two years ago were now in the $60,000 to $80,000 range. As such, we got an amazing deal on our house, $73,000 for a house that sold for $140,000 in 2004, no major repairs, perfect size for my wife and I, and it's an awesome house. And don't try to talk to me about "equity" and all that, I bought my house to live in, not to make money off of.

As for silver, we'll see $30 by the end of the month, definitely. I'm a little disappointed that silver is so high because that means that all the silver coins I want are priced according to their silver content.

Anytime silver takes the place of gold on an electronic circuit board
(such as a computer mainboard), it will still be a "cheap" conductor.


Three words for the future: Silver-based Catalytic Converters.
(when that happens, Platinum will drop like a stone off a cliff.)

DNA, Is there any credible scientific links to that story about the catalytic converters? Thanks

So far what I have seen is on penny stock BB's from a few years ago. Keep in mind that the company that put that PR is a large comex silver trader out of Japan.

(I should also note that when the credit markets "froze" in late 2008, IAU and SLV remained 100% liquid and held full value in direct proportion to their respective gold and silver holdings).

That was a good litmus test since the equity markets were stressed to a degree not seen since the Great Depression. Many stocks fell 60% or more and some funds were obliterated.

With the financial mess happening in Europe, I see no reason for silver to stop short of $30. Countries such as Ireland, Greece, and Portugal are all experiencing major financial problems, I think people are seeing silver as a less expensive commodity compared to gold. A few years ago gold was a better buy, but the price per ounce has surpassed many budgets.

Interesting to know. All of the professionals I know personally have gone digital, however, they are all in the "event" business where I think something like Photoshop is adequate for their clientele. That is, the are minor-league compared to major-league professionals.

We should look at the historical percentage of film use by normal consumers versus professionals. I would think that the consumer take is now almost non-existent.

We should also consider the motion picture industry, which would rather film digitally and task someone like ILM for digital effects than spend time manipulating film.


The advances in nanotechnology should significantly decrease any precious metal use in converters. That is, platinum might go down, but silver would not go up either.

This is just my opinion and I could be wrong.
