Coin stores are a good deal too, don't have to fork over shipping costs and it's immediate. But heck yeah!! That's real moolah right there! I just grab some to hold it. Not in it for the short term. I use it as a double edged sword against the banks. Good savings plan too. But for every single but of physical bought, it screws thier manipulation so hard. The banks have been shorting it hard, because they want the price to remain low, to be able to get thier grub by lil hands on even more than they already have, and they throw shares into the SLV like they print money, and the SLV is for suckers who want to fall prey to the banks when the bag gets dropped on the market. For the first time since I have ever even started watching silver and gold, the price of silver is holding and wanting to go up, but they won't let it. And the price of gold has actually went DOWN tremendously in comparison. Because usually the two track together respectively when it goes up, they both do proportionally, and the same when they go down. But a divergence has taken place this week. And the price of gold has been going down while silver is holding, but should be blasting off, because even all of the online sites are still being bombarded and have very very long wait times for anything going out the door. With some even having a minimum amount policy now in place. I saw one site have a 300 dollar minimum order price to even buy anything. It's going down for reals.
