What do you make of this chart? http://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com/2011/07/comex-deliverable-silver-warehouse.html Is this the only inventory chart we should be looking at? Is there another aspect we need to know about, in order to balance the equation here, because if this is the only...

Thanks, So you don't think this is a very reliable way of testing? Any other suggestions?

I am looking to buy a good electronic gold tester. I do not want to be working with anything complicated or messy at all (no gels etc.), so the following (AuRACLE gold tester) is the type of thing I have in mind: http://www.prweb.com/releases/auracle/goldtester/prweb8633880.htm Is this type of...

Thanks to you all for your contributions. I would agree that Scotiabank is not to be trusted. It's strange that there aren't more alternatives, though.

I'm presently trying to convince my mother to buy gold, but altough she recognizes the importance of doing so, she just can't seem to make the jump. Canadians are presently doing ok, so they have a greater normalcy bias than others. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can help me find any good...

Some analysts have argued that with the present silver fundamentals, silver could one day reach parity with gold, or even become more expensive. Now I'm sure most people don't hold this position, but I was wondering if we could have a (sane) discussion on this point, and mention some of the...

I second and third that. I don't know why so many people are easily shaken. Is it that they didn't understand the fundamentals in the first place, or that they don't understand the fundamentals of the present and temporary deflationary situation which must be followed by more stimulus? Everybody...

Stella, I can understand your feelings, but in the long run, the difference between when you bought the PAMP bars (sorry, I don't know when that was, but I'll assume it was near to these prices) and the bottom it will most likely hit will seem quite minimal. Of course, the more ounces per fiat...

Blockhead, that's actually a pretty good idea. Thanks.

Nub, You mentioned that you were blindly riding the silver hype train. Have you got off? Although we don't need to get into hype, I don't think that this small setback should make us change our long term position at all, do you?

Thanks Loving the Silver (and so am I! Ok, I love gold too, but I'll get back to gold a bit later down the line. Need some wealth creation first!).So the jewelry idea is not a completely bad one, provided you can find it from a reliable source, and try to eliminate any fancy work on the item...

The thing that I don't like about Bob Chapman is that he loves to speak highly of himself and put others down. That really takes away from his stature.

Thanks guys... Shiney, I already have my metals stored in another country. That's the whole thing; I am afraid that when things get real bad and the prices of metals are really spiking, that I will not be able to liquidate into real estate and land as nobody will want to be wiring currencies at...

I am intending to switch from silver to gold at a somewhat later stage. Of course we all know that the most ideal way to invest in gold is through coins and bullion. I want to move some of my precious metals position to a country that unfortunately does not allow the purchasing of precious...

Malachii, What do you think about the prospects of investing in diamonds? Do you think it is something we should consider diversifying into? I have heard that they lose a lot of value in hard economic times. Any thoughts?

Yes, if you can carry this out, then I agree that you've done well. But as you stated, it is risky. One other thing to take into consideration. Where I am staying (Saudi Arabia), the physical price didn't go down all that much at first. Premiums remained very high, especially for PAMP bars. With...

Guys, to keep the discussion as beneficial as possible, please state: (1) Your long term forecast (2) Your reasons (i.e. try to back it up) (3) A time frame (e.g. between next summer and the beginning of 2013) (4) A window for exiting (e.g. I only see there being a period of such and such...

DCCPA, I was referring more to the long trend forecast, that is, when we peak in the present bull market.

I like Gee Wiz's thinking. I don't quite understand why some of you are so quick to exit silver for gold at this early stage. Just because silver got ahead of itself a bit in a mini-mania, doesn't mean that this thing will not go a lot further. I understand that it is the only commodity that is...

Thanks Canadian Metal Head, Don't forget to try to mention why you believe it will hit $8000 and issues related to the window. BTW, why do you mention that date specifically?
