Today's action: silver shot up 14 cents. Is
that long awaited silver rocket ride upon us?

Perhaps of interest:

*Warren Buffet bought silver
*Buffet owns Gillette stock
*Gillette is researching fuel cell technology that
will use silver
*Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are friends
*Gates bought Pan Am Silver
*Gates has invested in a utility company that
is doing research on fuel cell technology
*Comex silver stocks are dwindling and near
decade lows
*A big, big buyer has shown up in the silver pits

And then this sent in today:

Initiative NEMI Group Recommends Tin/Silver/Copper
Alloy as Industry Standard for Lead- Free Solder
Reflow in Board Assemblies

HERNDON, Va., Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The National
Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (NEMI) today
announced the alloy its Lead-Free Assembly Project
is recommending for use by industry as a
``standardized' lead- free solder alternative.

For reflow applications (which represent at least
70% of all board assembly production), the NEMI
group is recommending Sn3.9Ag0.6Cu -- a
predominantly tin-rich alloy with 3.9% silver
and 0.6% copper. For wave solder production
(which requires larger amounts of solder),
the group is recommending either Sn0.7Cu, a
less expensive tin/copper alloy (0.7% copper),
or Sn3.5Ag (tin with 3.5% silver).

another use of silver(an ad):
SANOSIL©, ECOLOGICAL UNIVERSAL ANTIVIRAL DISINFECTANTS, BASED ON HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND SILVER

SANOSIL© disinfectants based on hydrogen peroxide and silver are environmental friendly multicomponent disinfectants.

SANOSIL© disinfectants based on hydrogen peroxide and silver eliminate all pathogenic bacteria, amoeba, biofilm, fungi, mould, virus, etc., without side effects.

The two main components, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the oxidising agent and silver (Ag+) with its powerful oligodynamic and catalytic effect, are combined with stabilisers to form a complex solution.
Due to the patented manufacturing process of the two basic elements, a very marked multiplication of the disinfectant effect is obtained (synergism).
