The dealer (probably the largest in Canada) I buy silver from in Canada told me last time I visited that they ran out silver when it ran to $50. Buyers were just pouring into the shop.
And now the sheepeople are watching shows like doomsday prepares and you can trust they are catching on real fast IMO I have talked with a few that have done a 180 and have totally changed there tune about the value of things like 401k accounts.
