Kastel, I was going to write a similar note, but then forgot and let it go.
I've read so many photo/silver demand notes I was not sure what to believe. My present view however reflects yours. I purchased our first digital camera for mspolar's Xmas, an Olympus D-40. Best Xmas purchase yet, for her, on my behalf. My family really likes it. Very small, and very good quality. I waited and waited, and then waited some more, before purchasing a digital.
While I was in the shop making my purchase, several customers came in. Most could not afford a digital, let alone a good quality digital. So what did they purchase? Disposables.
Due to price, and buying power of the average to less than average consumer, I suspect these cheap disposables are getting a lot of use. These in any event were my exact thoughts, by the time I left the photo shop. Wouldn't have given it a thought period, had I not owned some silver stocks. |
