I would say that some people here are simply realists and not permabulls that care only to spew fallacious claims about the "indispensability" of silver, the immutable "intrinsic value" of silver, and the "to da moon tomorrow" price movement of the metal. Unscrupulous used car salesmen also paint a dishonest rosey picture of products they have an unwavering faith in. It's always better to get a varied perspective on such things. And, getting perspective doesn't mean by default that I am sour on the future of silver....just that I am honest about silver not being some magical panacea. .
