"IMO, it's important to remember that the "price of silver" is an establishment metric which does not, in any way, reflect the underlying reason that anyone who has some understanding of the historical reason for holding PM's may be thinking. "

I agree.

Hold a 1oz American Silver Eagle coin in your hand, or say a 1 oz Philly, a Maple or a Germania Mint coin, any silver coin really, whatever....I mean look at it, feel it, appreciate it........how can these coins, beautiful coins, mined from the earth, minted, shipped, really be worth ~$40 AUD when everything in this world is priced so out of control?.......next time you pour some petrol / fill up your car,or buy a shirt from Myer or go to dinner with a friend, think how many silver coins that equated too.....it really hits home.....this window in history for silver at this price will soon be gone forever....I'm shocked we're still at $18USD silver, but alas, an opportunity to get some more weight in your stack.
