RE: RE: NumbersThe same thing as the hunt brothers is what is happening at the moment only a bigger corner of the market as it is being done by more than one person and more than one group.......Max Keiser, Chinese etc etc.... If each person in America bought an ounce of silver they would do what the hunts did and if they dont the Chinese will........ He might be pushing it a little at 6000... Honestly 100 is ridiculously low......... Some of the mints I talk to are getting guys come and offer them money for all of there production at higher prices than they are selling them for and want to buy it up for years. Additionally silver is actually one of the elements in the ground that is running low and we hit peak silver soon.............. 7 years or so . Industrial demand is supposed to be 670 million ounces in four years..... There will be a point where silver becomes more like gold and turns more into a precious metal.......... The Chinese are using 100 million ounces a year at the moment in just solar panels........ It cant go on like that until the prices get a lot higher............... Also if you adjust it for inflation silver should be at 140 just to be where it was at the 1980s... A stamp was 15 cents and it is a lot higher,, Gas was nothing and people are still managing to buy it and it has actually risen with inflation..... They can use other things than silver.... The Chinese were the third largest exporter of silver they dont even export anymore and run ads on there television telling people to start buying all the silver and gold.... The ICBC bank has programs whereby people buy a small amount a day for a month or two....... They have been opening millions of accounts in no time.... The chinese have buckets of cash and unlike westerners when they buy silver and gold they sit on it. Also they are switching from real estate to metals........ Additionally in the Chinese govt quest to take over as the dominant power they are way behind in the amount of gold that they own so will need to play serious catch up to get their gold reserves up................ Brokers are always playing games and doing interesting things no doubt as well as having funny motives .... More than not though sprott and there crew do well for people..... The other thing bull markets is when the hunts did that there were 5 billion ounces of silver above ground in the 80s,.. Today they figure 500 million or so.... So there is a big difference and it is a lot more bullish than the 1980s. Also if you go back further to other bull runs in gold and silver they were a lot bigger . The eighties is one of the smallest ones ever to be recorded....... Some of the others that actually happened as fact the numbers in some cases are ten times the returns the eighties were.
