Those of you who track silver

I hope Ad Orientem is alive and watching it

Yeah it's kind of sad to not know what happened to our characters of the past.

P.S. Check out the “more than 500 pounds of precious metal” thread at b’heads.

Yes, I saw that thread the other day. Apparently industrial demand for silver is high and junk silver is selling at a discount due to refiner backlog? I guess the lesson is if you're going to buy silver, don't buy the "junk" silver by the pound, stick with pure coins/bars.

Smelting (purification) is more costly than melting - and there's much demand for pure silver bars to be delivered asap (as many dump excess dollars into COMEX to take physical delivery of gold/silver).

80

Gold/Silver ratio 60.

Those that swapped gold for silver when GSR was 90 might swap back again and end up with 50% more gold.
