Richard, Time for me to spend some time with Lady Silver. Like most men I was dazzled by Miss Gold as she had that look feel touch and haughtiness that demands the attention reserved for things "of a higher order" created by something "of a lower order" so that it is possible for mankind to go places that do not exist. Seems as if Miss Gold was run outta town by a bunch of worthless paper riffraff taking over, these boys controlled by a two faced man they call Uncle Sam. These turn of events for Miss Gold caused her to join her distance sister Lady Silver who also fell upon bad times. As expected Lady Silver was always looked down by Miss Gold as someone who had to work at chores to earn their keep. Miss Gold felt her purpose in life was to simply lay around each and every day and be admired. Miss Gold is being "dumped" by men like go4it C. Bankes and being replaced with those paper riffraff boys that seem to grow from trees at a high rate, folks are asking this lady, What can you do to justify your room & board? Like a glamour lady that never learned how to sew cook or clean house, she waits and wonder and hopes, and watches her distance sister Lady Silver work her tail off and going to school after work to learn new tasks to be able to do. Seems like a no-brainer, marry Miss Gold who cannot help you around the house, or Lady Silver who can actually stand upon her own two feet and "fight" back if abandoned. Until Miss Gold can deliver a reason why she is an object of worth and importance, as in a protector of sort, then she will not have a role to play and will continue to be dumped. From other Richard, the longone, to the following. <<silver may become more valuable than gold>> <<... really doubt Gold will become depressed to the point & there is enough of a rally coming in silver to see that...>> Its now 9pm Boston and the Middle East (oil area) looks like a place where the lighted fuse has reached the blasting cap and the big explosion is moments away. Planned "out of control" might apply as the many sides in the conflict understood that each as reached the limits of how much able to give & take, and as such Military Power Rules, causing the side without such to take actions and invite outside Military Power(s), of which some(s) are willing and able to Walk a Talk. Just to summarize your points Richard, the following. The big difference between gold and silver... ... large gold inventory in central banks ... gold can be moved around on paper forever ... silver is a metal with [large] industrial value ... silver at low inventory ... silver can't be moved around on paper forever There will be a day when industrial users ask their suppliers the question "where's my silver?" ... energy crunch ... political focus is oil refinery capacity and oil supply ... the other side of the equation is demand [increasing] ... demand [increasing] = energy & power = oil & electricity ... focus on conservation, even if just political ... efficient electricial distribution & uses [electric cars] and other efficiency improvements favor increased use of silver and copper [large scope and quanity] ... silver may become a market king? doug
