~*~Mining and Metals Du Jour~*~

[silver_bars]

People who are not in the precious metals business or who aren't serious longer-term bullion investors are generally unaware that during the 2008-to-2009 financial crisis, Silver Bullion was essentially unavailable for aprox. 1 year due to exceedingly strong demand for real/physical Silver bullion ... if you tried buying Silver bullion during this time period, it was essentially unavailable ... Gold bullion was also in a supply crunch during this time period, but not as bad as the Silver supply deficit ..... imo, we may soon be in another supply crunch scenario for bullion again ... this weeks drop in spot price actually makes Silver more attractive for those with cash who are concerned about the continuity/integrity of the equity markets and other financial markets ...
