Silver Investment $: 1.3 Billion Potential Chinese Investors WILL Push Silver Price UP

Why Silver Investment? China is pushing the idea of gold and silver investment to the general population in the way that Western television sells soap powder. If 1.3 billion Chinese citizens start buying silver, even in tiny quantities, imagine what that will do to the spot price in the near future! As more and more Chinese move into the cities and individual wealth grows, this trend is only likely to accelerate. Now, add the same figure of 1.3 billion people, wanting electric lights, cars, toasters computers mobile phones and everything else you and I take for granted. That's an incredible amount of silver supply needed in electronics to meet daily increasing demand. What do you think that will do to the silver price in the not too distant future? To learn more about silver and the great silver investment opportunity currently presenting itself worldwide,

Why Silver , Why Now ?

Why Silver Investment? Well there are a few very compelling and fundamental reasons actually. Our world is, quite literally, running out of silver. World demand for silver exceeds annual production and has every year since 1990 -- a total of 14 straight years! Above ground stockpiles of silver are low, shrinking rapidly and approaching zero. Since the end of WWII, for example, the U.S. government -- once the largest stockpiler of silver on the planet -- has dumped billions and billions of ounces of silver onto the world market, effectively depressing silver prices. Today, that government silver hoard is gone... and now the U.S. government is a buyer of silver.

Few primary silver mines are operating due to currently low silver prices -- approximately 75% of newly mined silver is actually a by-product of base metal mining of lead, tin, copper and zinc. Reopening abandoned primary silver mines or developing new mines is a timely and costly process, and is unlikely to occur until silver prices stabilize at a considerably higher price per oz., according to natural resource expert John Myers, editor of widely-read newsletters, "Outstanding Investments" and "Resource Trader Alert".

Mike Maloney Why Silver Investment

Why Silver Investment?  In 1980, it took 1000oz of silver to buy a single family median price home, that day will come again but it's probably going to be less than 500oz. This opportunity isn't going to last for long...there are these brief moments that go by, as far as historic time, they go by in the blink of an eye...where the safest place to be, the place where people run to, to protect their financial well being during economic crisis, gold and silver, they have been the safe haven for your finances for 5000 years. And there are these brief moments in history where they simultaneously become the asset class that has the single greatest gains in absolute purchasing power...and we're in one of those RIGHT NOW." - Mike Maloney

SILVER to $50 By 2012 Says Jim Turk

SILVER to $50 By 2012 Says Jim Turk. (ME quoting Turk) Max Keiser & Rand Paul weigh in too...

James Turk says SILVER will be at $30 by year's end 2010 and says he fully expects SILVER to reach $50 within two years. Then SILVER will finally enter "Stage 2" which GOLD now enjoys. At which point, it will be "the sky's the limit" for SILVER. Max Keiser tees up the JP Morgan fraud in the SILVER market. Alan Grayson interrogates on behalf of SILVER too. Finally, Rand Paul reminds us all why SILVER (and GOLD) will be needed in the days ahead. ***The material in this video is presented for educational purposes only, in the public news & information interest.***

Silver Shortage : Silver is facing extinction in our lifetime

Silver is running out, below ground as well

The figures used are not including any new large deposits as it's believed that with the technology we have now we have already discovered all the large easy deposits. Also have not changed the demand although it's evident that demand is increasing every year, price is the only thing that stands in it's way.

Some people believe that we are looking at a repeat of the 1980's with a blow off price in Silver but looking at the properties and supply and demand principles I see more.

I think we will have a top resistance point then a big sell off but after that it will pick up again and quickly. You see we will be flooded with scrap from individuals once the price is high, enough scrap to last for years and this will cause a big pull back but it won't take long for smart investors to realize that the next run could be even bigger as the fact is Silver is facing extinction in our lifetime.

SILVER to rise to $436/oz and Beyond.

Esteemed economist John Williams from shadowstats.com and Peter Schiff discuss the merits of owning precious metals. Gold and silver as a hedge - as an insurance policy - against the increasingly certain, impending economic apocalypse. Williams cites $7,500 as being the CPIU inflation adjusted actual value of gold TODAY. $436/oz. is cited as the CPIU inflation adjusted value of Silver. Both agree the sky is the limit on precious metals as the Fed monetizes debt and the system as we know it begins to fall apart at the seams. God help us all. Buy silver and gold TODAY as some measure of protection for you and your family.

As an asset bubble, gold may burst after reaching $2,000

Investment guru Marc Faber is a zealot when it comes to promoting the cause of gold. The publisher of the celebrated newsletter Gloom, Boom and Doom is at the same time rubbishing the dollar and currencies of countries which go on printing notes in attempts to stimulate their economies. The contrarian investor often referred to as Doctor Doom has got another equally controversial investor Jim Rogers to keep company in celebration of gold at the expense of currencies.

So is not Faber happy that his favorite precious metal gold has once again moved beyond the $1,200 an ounce resistance level after moving sideways for a while? What should be a cause of particular delight for Faber and Rogers is that their unbounded enthusiasm to make the public, going beyond the high networth individuals to see the virtues of regularly adding gold to the investment portfolios when the developed economies look wobbly is seeing its denouement.

We in India continue to buy gold mostly in the form of jewelery. Therefore, the Indian consumer demand for gold surging hugely in the first quarter of this year to 193.5 tonnes could not have drawn inspiration from exhortations of Faber and Rogers. The craving for gold jewelery here is so strong that the Indian womenfolk just needed some time to get reconciled to high prices of the precious metal before resuming buying and with some abandon. The World Gold Council says gold jewelery demand in non-Western countries will continue to recover from the first quarter level of 470 tonnes.

Scotiabank Puts Woman Through Hell To Get Her SILVER

UNBELIEVABLE NEWS: Scotiabank tries everything in its power to prevent an elderly woman suffering from cancer from turning in her paper silver certificates for physical silver.

Becuase it's on the record that banks only have ONE OUNCE of physical silver and gold in their vaults for every 100 ounces of paper claims. Judging by this pathetic story, it may be even worse than 100 to 1. Can you say Ponzi Scheme?

The Historic Gold Silver Ratio

The price of silver has been notoriously volatile as it can fluctuate between industrial and store of value demands. At times this can cause wide ranging valuations in the market, creating volatility.

Silver often tracks the gold price due to store of value demands, although the ratio can vary. The gold/silver ratio is often analyzed by traders, investors and buyers. In 1792, the gold/silver ratio was fixed by law in the United States at 1:15, which meant that one troy ounce of gold would buy 15 troy ounces of silver; a ratio of 1:15.5 was enacted in France in 1803. The average gold/silver ratio during the 20th century, however, was 1:47. The lower the ratio/number, the more expensive silver is compared to gold. Conversely the higher the ratio/number, the cheaper silver is compared to gold.
