Gi'day woddonnee, The crystal ball question is how the A$ will run against the US$. As you know when you buy bullions from Perth Mint the purchase is calculated in US$ and then converted to A$. The same when you come to sell. So will the price of silver run up faster / more than the A$ vs. US$ - once you had a look in stars please let me know. My bullion holding is for long term - one day the short sellers will be cought out and the silver price will be more relevant to its true value - well that's what I keep telling myself and I keep good company with Buffett, Gates and Soros <:) lol
