Claude, you don't think silver is part industrial, part monetary? It seems to me that silver is gold's satellite, unlike the base metals--sometimes it's ahead of gold, sometimes behind it, but it always seems linked to it.

I hate cliches but "poor man's gold" does seem to describe silver. As gold becomes a more popular and acceptable commodity to invest in, I don't see how people won't turn to silver because of it's relative affordability. Obviously, that day may be some ways off.

The tricky thing about silver is that it's market is so small that it could well swing high on a fluke, but not stay there for very long. At least not until the era of gold as popular commodity sets in.
