    Louis James on Why the Big Gold and Silver Spike Will Be Even Bigger This Time [view article]
    I have heard that the price of gold is subject to manipulation by gold repository banks on a grand scale. If this is true, then gold remains a speculative play. Other commodities, such as food, are less speculative. For instance, the prices of milk and orange juice are up huge in the past 18 months. Since the price of gold is dependent on both industrial demand and fear, and is also subject to possible supply adjustment by banks leasing gold from their colleagues (among other techniques), being a gold bug at this level is risky. If the U.S. has a deflationary recession, which would be good for banks holding undefaulted mortgages, gold prices will languish. However, the long-term risk-reward ratio of gold is probably as good as most speculative investments. Reply

    Chinese Government Provides a New Silver Lining [view article]
    Why add the word "oddly" before China (among silver producers)? For a long time, China used silver as the legal tender. When Britain was unable to locate enough silver to trade with China, it used opium instead, which eventually led to the opium war. omooc Reply

    ETNs sound like a great way to defer tax. It's like a zero-coupon bond, but you don't have to pay tax on phantom income. Reply

    Is Silver Undervalued? [view article]
    If Mr Butler is right, then silver will be harder to get . If all the shorts are forced to cover, silver will look as it was shot out of a cruise missle, with no tarket, just up. I would hate to be the ones having to cover or not having phyical silver, hope you have yours. Reply

    Gold is at $800: Why Isn't Silver at $40? [view article]
    Expert geologists have calculated that there is 17.5 times more silver in the earth's crust than gold. Therefore, with all other things being equal, gold should be 17.5 times the price of silver.

    However, most gold that has come out of the ground is still in physical form like bullion, but most of the silver that has been mined has been used up in industrial production and is very expensive or even impossible to recover again. The current ratio of available silver to available gold is less than 10, so with gold at US$820, silver should be at least US$82.

    Also, the price of silver is being artificially held down by the massive short selling postions on the Comex by the 4 largest commercial traders. A simple read thru the Commitment of Traders (COT) report will show short position of over 6 months new mined supply - a much larger position than any other commodity.

    There are other factors that will drive the price up and silver should be at least US$100....     Reply

    So...Quaagar..which sounds like some kind of mutant fungii...your point is what?? And what could it possibly have to do with 2007??
    The Hunt bros. were taken down by government intervention and pure market envy....Also..
    Taking physical possession of silver is like attaching a 50lb carbuncle to your butt...Buy an ETF...it's easier..safer..faster.... much cheaper. Where did these people come from..the 1980's????     Reply

    DID almost everyone forget the Hunt Bros manipulation of the silver market.
    For many traders the collapse in silver was the final straw for a stock market already under siege from worries as diverse as the Iranian hostage crisis, the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and soaring interest rates. [The consumer price index climbed at a 13% rate for 1979. The prime lending rate hit 22% in early 1980]. But by the year's end, the whole decline was almost forgotten. The Dow ended the year at 963.99, thanks in large part to the euphoria over the election of Ronald Reagan.

    Always take physical possesion of the metal first and then store in a safe or with a reputable storage company. Reply
