JimmySilverBackGorilla, an outrageous silver prediction in 10-15 years, much of world silver will be depleted then we will see silver approach gold and platinum in price like $500/oz As you know I've been following the gold and silver talk. Where I get stuck is if your above comment is true, then why isn't silver climbing more steadily. If you see it and many others see it, then why hasn't any one with deep pockets seen it? The Commercial COT's for silver have been getting shorter and shorter. Only recently have they begun getting less short on gold. At what point does the talk of astronomical silver and gold approach that of the talk of CMGI to $250 per share? I'm not doubting you. Instead I'm trying to get you to make your point even clearer... Make a believer out of someone who is half way there... -GoldPlatedWatcher

Mr. Outrageous, Way cool! I have enough silver coinage in my collection to rake in some serious shekels. I bet some of my rarer stuff does even better. As you aptly pointed out previously, even some of the rarer stuff will get melted down with the high mintage, well worn & generally junko coinage. BTW, I do think that is an outrageous prediction, IE, the absolute best case scenario. Statistically, it is an unlikely event, albeit one that could occur. Heck, if it makes 1/10 of that, we'll both be fat & sassy. OOF Ö¿Ö I already am :-\

Jim...hmmm check out this Lady's posts re silver and gold.. T To:Larry Dudash who wrote (43462) From: Joan Graffius Saturday, Mar 23, 2002 9:06 PM View Replies (1) \| Respond to of 43496 Larry, Right now I have a full position in these gold stocks and am buying them on dips for trading positions. Am searching for Silver stocks. Have a position in PAAS that is up 50% and am looking for other alternatives. The problem with these silver companies is they can not make a profit with the current price of silver - I do expect silver to go up in price during the next couple of years. I expect a recession and will be buying oil stocks if they get sold off. Would like to buy my favorite BR and a premier oil and natural gas producer in Canada as I expect the Canadian $ and Australian $ to do well against the US$ when our financial mess in this country is exposed for what it is. Have been collecting a mix of foreign government debt, Australian, Canadian and British government debt for the last couple of years. Am using the CEF's TGG, FAX and FCO. Added some Oil and Energy preferreds to my portfolio to increase the income. Bought TLM preferred A for a 9% dividend and APJ for an 8.25% dividend. I am preparing for the worst of economic conditions in the US. With that kind of mentality buying cheap assets of companies that are required for human survival a.k.a. food and energy and owning gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium stocks to protect against a currency devaluation. I am waiting for IMPAY and AAPTY to correct before I take an initial position. IMPAY has always paid a nice dividend. Joan
