Much of the gold sold of late has been a paper promise. If you don't have the gold in hand, you may have nothing but an empty promise. Silver is probably getting more attention due to the inability to get gold physically in hand. It appears South Africa is about to go the way of Zimbabwe. That will cause additional scarcity for metals mined in that country.

They are predicting another summer of $100+ oil. I expect many will be dumping to invest in natural resource stocks and gold/silver.

40% of all silver is used for industrial applications, 30% for jewelry, 20% for photography and other uses, and only 5% or so for coins and medals.

Color me skeptical. Hard to believe 20% of silver production is still used for photography.

In other words, we just reached the point where virtually all U.S. silver production is going toward the manufacturing of Silver Eagles. Yikes.

There is a shortage of all types of bullions, and more buyers wanting fast delivery.

If there is a monetary collapse. a silver Eagle will be easier to spend than a gold Eagle. It’s the difference between spending a $ 20 bill and a $ 1000 bill.

I figure I could buy at least a day’s groceries with one silver Eagle.

Why Are Silver Sales Soaring?

Because during the last depression, the Fed confiscated gold?

Just tossing that out there. It's wouldn't matter, they can confiscate silver as well.

Treasury claims power to seize gold and silver -- and everything else

I am hoarding anything made of silver because gold isn’t available, also copper.

I've switched from gold and silver to the other precious metals - brass and lead.

Once a Boy Scout, always a Boy Scout.

Be prepared. Zombie apocalypse is my best bet, YMMV.
