Silver used in solar panels was the industry that I thought would give a BOOST to the PRICE OF SILVER.
We are so gung-ho about renewable energy and the environment. We are building and using solar panels for energy. We hear reports about the huge gains in solar based energy creation and consumption.
Yet, NOBODY reports on the increased usage of silver and it doesn't seem to have ANY IMPACT to INCREASE the PRICE.
Rant over... good posting all these other industrial uses. kudos.
Rant, well done my friend. You have a very valid point, but our time is coming.
That rant was well done buddy. Or time is coming. Keep stacking untill then.
The fundamentals don't matter presently re: price. There is enough Ag currently to supply tech/electronics/medical/solar sector, and they will buy it whatever the price -- this demand is fairly constant. And will increase over time.
Obviously, to us in the know, the actual value of Ag far surpasses the current price. But the current price is set by the massive banks and fraudsters at the top of this heinous and illegal game. The shorts are getting covered! JP Morgan has been the heavy-weight stacker champion of the world for some time. They are stock piling the stuff like mofos because they know when the sea change happens they will make money all the way up.
What is awesome, and clearly demonstrated by this community, is the power of the little guy. Every ounce that gets taken off the table is another drop falling out of the bucket...and that baby is running dry -- not filling up.
Further, with these absurd prices there are many miners who are just going to shutter operations. This will decrease supply. Eventually stores are going to run dry, and when the paper starts getting de-leveraged there will be a huge demand for investment grade bullion.
The fact that we can order it like it was a pair of socks from Amazon and it actually arrives is one of the best kept secrets out there. Inthe future, people will shake there heads with incredulity and ask why we weren't buying more...
And so... Stack 'em up fellas! When Silver turns North and shoots passed ath, your gonna wanna have some ounces to trade for things like: real property (estate), healthy food and the luxury of doing whatever tf you want.
