If silver goes extremely high, I would think that recycling of Silver as well as scraping silver goods will become a substantial supply source. Right now Silver recycling supplies ~215MoZ to the supply, approx 25% of the supply. At some point, this number should go up substantially. silverinstitute.org Another issue is that the Silver (or certain compounds thereoff) toxicity has apparently been underestimated and has recently been re-categorized. I became aware of this when we reviewed updated MSDS (material safety datasheets)s for Silver use. In our case, it meant that we would not use a process using Silver. Again, this is probably not impact demand now, but LT it will (imo).

this is a great learning for value investing. a lot of people have been here for quite awhile and there a a lot of books out there worth reading. my personal favorite is " you too can be a stock market genius " by Joel Greenblatt of magic formula investing and gotham fund. if you have time you can go back and read thousands of posts here. dale's 50% thread is good too, and i try to sponge up some knowledge from the posters at Big Dog's Boom Boom on oil and nat gas too. as far as the pump and dumpers go it takes all kinds. no one really knows what the highs are going to be for gold and silver over the next 10 years. My guess is that when you see lines of people with bags of silverware standing in line to sell it that will probably be close to the top. years ago i met a couple who supposedly ran some kind of silver shop in london. when silver rose from $4 to $50 they sold off all their inventory and retired. I purchased several thousand dollars worth of silver coins and atb bullion just in case our atm machines and credit cards stop working for a while. I figure i will always be able to walk into a family owned store or farm and get food for silver. If I have that idea I assume there are thousands of others out there with the same idea. OT i finally saw a car that got me envious of the person who owned it. It was a gorgeous dark blue vintage rolls royce convertible with a white interior. It was driving behind me and I wondered whether if i ever had real wealth whether i would splurge on a car like that. I must say the driver looked happy as could be like he was on top of the world.
