The Future of Silver?

...Silver fundamentals made inevitable the rise so steep,
To obtain more silver, we look to the ocean deep!
The price of silver continues to escalate,
Worldwide consuming industries pay the freight!
Silver shareholders are human moneybags,
What scares them now, not high price tags!
Leveraging thousands of dollars into millions,
Gates, Soros and Buffett make billions!

CPM Silver Yearbook 2007 Summary

The CPM Silver Yearbook report concluded that net silver investment demand was about 60 million ounces for 2006. This upward trend is expected to continue to rise in 2007.

The yearbook cited that investment demand, primarily motivated by a need for protection against inflation, is strong in India, the Middle East, and the West. Part of this interest is due to increased participation in the commodity market's recent boom.

Silver supply is expected to increase 3% this year, to 520 million ounces.

The central bank in India has completed its sell off of about 60 million ounces of silver ( sold over the last few years ).

Warren Buffet sold 130 million ounces prior to the Silver ETF's purchase of about 130 million ounces.

The Silver Yearbook's conclusion was that silver prices are likely to continue to rise.

Hi Elicia:

I'm assuming that you own silver bullion ( silver bars ), and need to liquidate them?

Check with someone such as http://www.apmex.com/.

Please keep in mind that we are not professional traders.
