well, I've been saying for years silver will be worth more than gold someday...there will be a paradigm shift once people realize the consumption will make it disappear...Solar alone will take 20% of mined silver annually this decade...auto, medical, clothing, ipads, tablets, computers, etc. etc. etc. all consume it, never to be seen again...industrial will at some point take it all, they have to...so I expect in the very near future, us in the public will not have access to any new mined silver...this just proves my point with a triple price on eagles...they're telling us, yeah, you want it, you'll pay & on top of that, they're having hard time getting it themselves...jmho
