The whole world has been asleep when it comes to the latest rise in silver. They will only open their eyes when the price hits double digits. I expect this to happen in the next month when March delivery is expected. It is nice to see all the silver bears. Makes me even more confident in my investment in silver. Wait until they have to cover at much higher prices. Ted Butler's article on Gold-Eagle makes him look like a genius. ( gold-eagle.com ) It was written in August! He called for 80% lease rates in precious metals and silver rates hit 75% last week. Gold will be next. Next few weeks will be fun. - Jim.

Question on silver and photography: what percentage of silver-based photography products are used in the consumer market, and what percentage in the professional, industrial, and medical market? While consumer photography may go digital shortly, I think that it will take much, much longer for most professional applications. While there are certain applications (insurance, news photography) where the benefits of digital may make it more attractive than silver-based film, the resolution still has a long way to go for most professional, industrial, and medical applications.
