Wrong thread. Gold is not silver -g- I'm thinking of buying some physical (silver), though. If not anything, silver is great for weight lifting exercise -g-

And I repeat: 1) BH/Buffet owned Gillette/aka Duracell in '97, he doesn't own it now. Furthermore, everybody and their dog has been told to held at least 10% of their "portfolio" in precious metals, I doubt the dab of silver Buffy owns is anywhere near 10% of BH's"portfolio" if indeed he still has it in the portfolio. As I recall, he did NOT discuss it--a silver position--as an existing holding at the last BH meeting, much to the dismay of the press covering the meeting. Check it out. 2) Soros' hedgefund bailed out of Apex Mining many many moons ago as was noted on this thread at the time. Check it out. 3) Bill Gate's himself doesn't own silver to anyone's knowledge, but a speculative fund FUNDED by Bill Gates and run by someone ELSE bot SOME SHARES of PAAS...who is, I grant you a silver producing mining concern...that's a hell of alot different than "buying silver bars or ingots," etc., or Bill taking his "piece of production" as his cut or some other such nonsense. These ballyhooed 3 silver thread themes, often quoted, are frayed information. Check it out.

your 3 "bot some shares" Please, you can do far better but still won't make me believe he doesn't hold massive amount of PAAS & if your goal is to make others believe he isn't committed to the idea you twist both words & truth: "Cascade Investment, the Kirkland, Wash., company that Larson uses to invest on behalf of Gates, recently disclosed that it holds a 10.3 percent stake in Pan American Silver and a 5.2 percent stake in Republic Services. Cascade has previously reported holdings in companies such as Chaparral Resources. and Schnitzer Steel Industries." news.com.com Michael Larson (Cascade) 5,105,000shares $22,462,000 biz.yahoo.com

I have been doing pretty well lately in busted old CDE, a better buy at under 80 cents than $20. Can anyone think of any reason for silver prices to go up, other than the argument that it's scarce? I mean, something can be scarce in comparison to former supplies, and if no one wants to buy it, it still won't sell for much. I had thought that worldwide demand for film would guarantee a floor for silver, but conservation, new film emulsions, and electronic cameras may cut into that more and more. Any new uses for this wonderful metal that I have lost so much money on in the past? Am still holding PAAS as well as the CDE.
