I have never seen anything like this before but the Perth Mint is all out of Silver coins and 100 oz silver bars. All they have left are 10oz silver bars. Anyone seen this before??
By the end of next Year Silver will be $7 an ounce and there will be a 7 year wait on delivery, nah no manipulation at all!
People want physical -- not paper. Simple. There's one possible scenario where I envision paper going to like a USD buck an ounce (if that much). Of course, by then, it's truly meaningless in the real world, and parties would just be setting their own prices for the actual stuff..
I wonder why the Canadian's have not moved in on the Silver yet? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FEW5mh7iAI[/youtube]
Good time for a take over....However, the WA state economy needs to bleed more as it will. A take over bid more likely when that happens. Who cares about history, refining, and silver / gold coins when people are on their knees. Let someone else do a better job...
