Have Gold and Silver Prices Reached a Tipping Point?

To "Sidelines": I have quite a bit of physical silver. I find it easy to store. The 100s make nice bookcase supports in the basement. But I got clever and thought to trade the exchange-traded fund SLV a bit. Doesn't look too smart at the moment but I am lucky in that I can make margin calls. (Incidentally, it's Ms., not Mr.) All I know about silver comes from 4 years of reading Ted Butler (Investment Rarities). When he was satisfied by Barclays' list of bullion bars and numbers that they actually had what they claimed to have, that was good enough for me. Of course he may be wrong--but I find his scholarship convincing. I'd be glad to hear arguments to the contrary.
