Hangalong,
Totally, and many new patents everyday because of the unique properties of silver. It is a very distinct metal in a category all by itself. The sad thing is that now that the scientists have found so many desireable uses for it that can be a great benifit to humans,it is being depleted and in most applications it is mostly unrecoverable. This is all fine if you are an investor in silver, which I am sure all that visit this board are. I agree, in a short time the gold and silver connection will be broken and silver will move into a distinct and rare commodity. At this time we still have the opportunity to purchase at very reasonable prices and I think folks that have been using the 20% of portfolio in PMs would be wise to move that up to 30 to 35% I know I am.
