This can be verified by recent history, again look at the palladium market. What is the reader to do with this information. Act of course, buy physical silver and store it where you can go and visit it from time to time. I am not trying to be funny here, I truly believe that the paper silver market will cease to exist within the next three to four years, there will be no forwards, options, or future's contracts for silver, all metal will come to market by way of the cash only system. With the more than 120 million ounce annual shortfall between new production and total consumption, the world is heavily dependent upon above ground stocks.
Silver is the cheapest today in constant dollars as it has ever been in modern history.
As the pitifully small supplies are depleted, the price will rise and continue to rise into the future as far as I or anyone can see.
