TD, <<Therefore treat it as hot air, but when the masses are lining up to buy silver at $8-10 the rush will have begun, were you around the silver market in 1979-80 Mark?>> Only as an onlooker .... had no $$ at the time. As far as Arnold goes - he is the perpetual bear ..... I think the company he works for (ML, I belive) is likely short a boat load of PM's ... he's got to be bearish. News again today on Soros and brother into Apex ... has a load of undeveloped silver properties .. Hmmmmmmmmm !! Go to: usagold.com ..... a very interesting read. Anyway .. time will tell. Thanks for your input ... appreciated. MB

A new report on silver batteries was in the news recently. we took it upon ourselves to investigate, see answer below Thank you for your inquiry. Silver Zinc cells could be use for your application, however it would not be cost effective and the life time of such batteries would be much less than the conventional nickel or lithium batteries. We currently are in development of lithium ion batteries which will ideally be used for such applications. Currently the Asian battery companies are dominating this market. We have been awarded several Gov't contracts to develop this technology. Best regards, Vince Yevoli Manager, Business Development Yardney Technical Products, Inc. Hello, Would you please let us know if the silver cell is good in applications such as cellular phones or laptop computers. So far we have conflicting stories, one pro one con , please advise if possible. This of course is from a battery developer and should know the subject well. We are still bullish on silver but thought this might generate some thoughtful discussion. BTW another poster wanted to know price of silver for 1998, of course none of us know but I will say that CPM group has stated 6.50 will be the AVERAGE price for all of 1998, take that for what it is worth.
