Silver doesn't exist independent of the rest of the world though. Now, if energy costs were dropping to 2008 levels, combined with efficiency gains made over the past several years along with technological and engineering advances... $5 silver a possibility??

Silvers price has recently been driven back several times to 2008's average of $15.centenario said:What makes you think gold is gonna drop so much? i think gold bottomed out at $1200
Those guys and girls hedge their purchases. When they plan for ex a 1 Moz silver purchase, they order it at a bullion bank, and take 200 long positions. The bullion bank takes 200 short positions. Both then have 'locked' in the agreed price (eventually including any targeted profit too). When speculators or whoever later on cause a bigger demand and or smaller supply, and the price rises, those industrial guys and girls receive compensating dollars on their futures market long position accounts, that will fill the financial gap for the higher price they end up paying.sammysilver said:I would imagine that the solar and electonics industries have locked in prices for many years to come. In this age of just in time manufacturing, a derailment in the supply train would be very expensive.
That'd be $18 to $19 AUD so not as good as last year's low when denominated in Aussie dollars.Pirocco said:The latest futures market total-position-based price target,
- assuming a 10000 contracts (5000 ounces each) bottom
- assuming a 70 Moz supply/demand change for every price dollar change
gives a next bottom of $13.7.
