Eric Sprott likes Silver more than Gold - CNBC

the markets are IMO, being propped up to entice popular investment, like in the first crash in 31. Got the whole population pretty much investing, borrowing etc then pulled the rug out from under everyone. I wouldn't buy any stock w/real money at all...hate that feeling you get when you get ripped off, conned. so why do it, when I know that is the point of the DOW etc going up? any second now, rug...GONE. IMHO

What is a silver shortage, and is there one right now?

What is a silver shortage, and is there one right now?

Following the news last week that the U.S. Mint had run out of its initial production of 2013 Silver Eagles, reports were circulating on industry blogs that the Royal Canadian Mint was next-in-line, and suffering a silver shortage. In other news the FED balance sheet crosses 3 Trillion as they print $85 billion per month. Not only is the fed printing but countries across the globe are expanding their currency supplies.Very interesting how the velocity of US Dollars is at a 50 year low while the money supply triples... which is the only reason that inflation has not yet sky-rocketed. But with the world-wide massive debasement of currencies by printing money out of thin air and chronic massive deficit spending, the prognosis for paper money & world economies is not good. This is all non-sustainable & sooner or later, something is going to give. Don't trust paper, trust PHYSICAL gold & silver in your hands.

Physical Gold Shortage Possible in the Near Future

 New York, NY (PRWEB) February 25, 2013

In response to the economic stimulus programs employed by the world’s most powerful governments, central banks in many developing countries are transferring their holdings into gold, as the metal is considered a more tangible asset than reserve currencies that are being devalued in the ongoing currency war. According to reports from the World Gold Council, central bank buying accounted for 534.6 tons in 2012. Quite the shift from the previous trend of central banks selling 400 tons a year, accounting for over 900 tons in a 4,000 ton market. Among the new players in the central bank buying game were Latin American countries including Brazil, Paraguay, Venezuela and Mexico. Russia, South Korea and the Philippines held their status of recent big buyers, and Iraq made an appearance onto the scene last year, buying 24.1 tons of gold.

Arthur McGuire, Vice President of Gold Price, says, “As the world’s most powerful central banks print money without restraint, up-and-coming central banks all over the world are starting to realize that they don’t want to hold money that is being devalued and set to see hyperinflation in the future. China and India have been buying vast amounts of gold for years, but now we’re seeing smaller countries jump on the bandwagon, and this shift could cause a shortage soon. We’re recommending that investors buy gold coins and bars now, while prices are low compared to what they could rise to if we end up seeing a significant shortage of physical gold supply.”

There is a Silver Shortage! USGS Report; Destroyed.

manipulated reports,manipulated markets, there is no way to analize numbers without any certainty of where exactly they are derived from..if one number is based on a previous number and that one is inacurate then ? kinda like having a map and being told to walk ten feet, but they dont tell you where to start. i prefer to keep an eye on the street supply, the inventory levels, the back order time frames and such.keep pluggin away man.thanks .peace.

People were saying that this report proved there was not a silver shortage.. BrotherJohnF showed that this was untrue. But underneath the USGS's own data, which supposedly proved there was no silver shortage; an absolutely massive silver debt bubble was found.

Silver price backwardation, corrections and perception shifts

By Dr. Jeffrey Lewis
The price of silver futures contracts have been regularly flirting with a state of backwardation ever since the 2008 financial crisis, which is a sign of a growing physical silver shortage. A state of backwardation occurs when the front month silver futures contract commands a price premium to the subsequent months’ contracts.
On one hand, this situation could actually provide larger traders who own the physical silver with an opportunity to simultaneously sell it and purchase futures contracts to recover their metal holdings for a net profit.
Paper and Physical Silver Price Backwardation
A backwardation also tends to indicate that industrial and personal silver consumers need the metal more now, rather than later.
When a backwardation in the silver market is driven by perception on The Street, this phenomenon would actually reveal the true fate of larger traders with insufficient physical silver supplies available to profit from this apparently easy money.
Nevertheless, the silver futures market ceased being a physical market years ago when the overall short position became dominated by just a few bullion banks. Whether these players control 25% or 50% of the net shorts, this concentration influences the paper price.
People Will Pay Whatever it Takes for Silver
The price of silver will ultimately be driven by premiums, which are ultimately determined by demand at the retail level. As confidence is lost in the futures market and shortages develop at physical metal dealers and scrap flows drop because they have already been panned out, an industrial panic will compete for the large (1,000 ounce) silver bar supply.
Following the notable silver rally in 1980, the market saw a divergence in demand flow. One consisted of a reduction in demand for increasingly expensive silverware and silver jewelry, which fell out of favor as wealth declined and cultural preferences shifted.
In contrast, silver production and demand for use in electronics and other industry took off, although governments sold their stockpiles of silver cheap, indirectly debasing their paper currencies along the way.
