Wayne: Today silver closed at around $5.83/oz. Where does this leave BRK's stake? Frankly, I've always considered commodities a speculation on short term swings in inflation and supply and demand at the margin. However, you make a good point about a commodity's intrinsic value being its long term relation between the cost of production and the level of unit demand and that sometimes a commodity can be bought for less than that value. But, I still don't get it as a "long term" holding.

Btw, Brent Crude is around $12.36.
