    That for the detailed answer. The economic rational of pm are pretty straight forward, but I'm surprised by how small the silver market is.

    As for gold, I still think China will become a huge buyers much more than now in the future not because of any manipulation, but just the sheer number of people's increasing wealth and traditions of giving gold.

    I'm Korean and I had about 130gm of gold given to me when I was 100 days old as per "Chinese" traditions Korean follow from family and parents peers and friends etc.

    You know when a Chinese gdp per capita hits $30k rather than $3k well the demand will be huge.

    India interesting, do they have silver as a common traditional form of jewellery?

    I'd pair my iPad to my SatPhone and post a pricing question on SilverStackers.

    Sooo... the paper trade can inflate the price of a commodity as much as potentially depressing it - is there any reason to think this is presently the case with gold or silver?
