just letting you all know, it might be a good time to load up before prices on ebay are rejigged for "buy it now" items on feebay (assuming rise continues) reason being - most business holders ought to be off work today quite a few items lower than spot (pre-postage)
oops and soz i'm not sure what that means/implications...would you mind explaining? btw - that link is also posted somewhere (by me too) in the stickied links thread in the general precious metal discussion
In my opinion there is a risk in just comparing two figures and drawing a conclusion. Yes the nominal increase is massive as you state. But what should have been the real price of silver in 2009 and 2010? This is the essential question that must be asked before we can state with certainty that silver prices are out of control. If the market has been underestimated the real price of silver for a long time then comparisons to periods when the market underestimated the price will give a false conclusion. Just my opinion.
so should I call my buddy up who wants to sell me the 40 2010 silver eagles in the cases for $2k an pick them up?
