My sentiments exactly. The fact that retailers are getting more and more "mercenary" in thier dealings speaks volumes. Apmex used to charge 49 to 79 cents premiums on items...Premiums charged are considerably higher now. I think this is a sign of diminished supply...and some day, a delivery default. S~P
That is assuming the world will be in a stable enough state to sell silver in 10 years. The way things are unraveling, I am not that optimistic anymore about the long term status of the world's political stability.
Then again, someone could have made similar arguments 10 years ago and been completely wrong. Wish I had bought silver and gold 10 years ago. Man, I could have had a small retirement fund built by now.
