you have no problem with everything that @sixgun posts and are in defence of his posts
each time you see me bring up a contradiction.
 
you can't explain why his declared physical silver position contradicts his supposed belief that
silver is much undervalued and due a strong move up soon.
 
and of course you have a problem with my posts each and every time because they highlight
inconsistencies that you can't explain.

'These “blank” bottlenecks have occurred a few times over the past few years as the U.S. Mint has had to suspend shipments to authorized purchasers due to an inability to keep up with demand. In 2015, the shortage of silver planchets was so severe that the U.S. Mint was unable to produce and deliver American Silver Eagles to Authorized Purchasers for almost the entire month of September.'

the years for bottleneck to supply silver blanks should include 2008/9, 2013, 2015, maybe also 2019.

I concur. I like Maneco very nice guy, but he earns a living off Youtube
& knows little about some of the subjects he talks about (ie mining). 
Im a year in on this and I know more that he does in some areas.
Good initial source for people though & a useful person to educate the financially illiterate. 
You move on after that, although I like his Sunday live chats, I occasionally watch them. 

don't you mean 48:1 ?

this is actually misleading information. silver has been at breaking point for years now,... really,...
breaking point,... counted in years and counting?
(what's keith neumeyer going to tell shareholders? the truth is that silver is rare but we simply
don't have enough uses for it right now(by volume), thus new silver mines is slow to pick up
because nobody wants to mine more of something that is already difficult to sell as it is. there
is no fundamental shortage of mining supply for a commodity that can satisfy 60% of it's global
demand through being mined as a by product of other primary metals mining.)
 
I am not saying that the silver price can't rise, just that there is no fundamental shortage of
mining supply to justify any rises beyond that of inflation.

how can you compare market exchange prices with retail prices?
what would be useful is knowing that the retails price is rumoured to have hit ~$43-47 when the
silver price hit $48 in 2011. how much are american retail prices today? apmex price ~$35(not sure
about taxes).
even if retail prices are close to what they were in 2011 how much of it is premium?(current spot price
~$28)
of course the easy comparison would be to compare both spot prices $28(today) versus $48(2011 peak)
and say that it has lost ~40%.
higher premiums is the result of a broken silver squeeze. (because there are no shorters being squeezed.
if comex had shorters being squeezed it would reflect equally in the comex price for silver)
 
I never said that you said that dealers are ripping people off. I was hinting that you should re-read
@LawrenceChard post about not believing the hype. (I purposely chose chards as the example of a
dealer) 
it's because it's a silver forum that people should not be lied to, mislead and tricked into believing something
that simply isn't true about silver. I don't upset people who are actually into silver when I say that silver
can make you money(timed correctly) but don't listen to the hype about prices shooting to the moon. I only
upset the fanatics and those who have a self interest to mislead people to over pay for their silver.
 
HH

how is saying that silver lost over 70% of it price $13(low)/$48(peak) from the 2011 peak an exaggeration?
I'm not even going to bother to dig up the articles of physical silver pumping in 2011.
you chose not to give a response for this?

silver will have it's day. with hindsight what would you say to those profiting from pumping
up the price of physical silver in 2011 for naive victims to hold onto a falling silver asset for
9 years as the price declined? are they ignorant or with selfish intent?
I never said silver cannot rise and make people money. but believing the hype is stupid.

buyer and seller not being able to agree on a price for the silver is probably the biggest problem
facing a silver to gold trade. (notice how it's not a such problem for pricing the gold).
 

anyone who quotes the gold to silver ratio of (whatever it is) is not actually helping the situation. there
is no such thing as a fair gsr(this is part of the disagreement). people who quote gsr values are only
doing so to support their side of the trade.
imo it's likely the seller of silver being unrealistic about the value of their silver. everyone knows that
sold to dealers(the actual barometer for the pricing of bulk physical silver) the price offered is much less
than what silver owners believe their silver to be worth. (gold sold to dealers is priced close enough(%) to
what people are expecting). pricing something is very different to actually selling something.
when sellers and buyers can't agree on a price, it's probably better to leave it be. (instead of coming up
with fair guidance to 'prove your case').

like any other trade, would you not trade it based on the current market value of each item?
what is so special about the gold to silver ratio?
 
HH

my thoughts exactly. not gold coins but a gold chain might prove useful in those situations.
 
HH

you have a lot of reading to do.

profits that you did not earn is wealth taken from someone else.
people trade silver. they invest in things that they can make progress on and grow.

personally I think you could have gone for the 10 year fix at 2%.
especially if you think rates will go up sooner rather than later.
if in 10 years time rates reached 6% and you can get 3% interest from savings.
what if I told you that you had the chance to borrow a significant sum at 2% and
keep that sum in the bank for a guaranteed 3%(pocketing the difference risk free) ?

which part? the part where you say to beat the shorters(implying shorting manipulation) then implying
that hence this hype is not a hype at all but a genuine move to 'correct' the price?
or this bit where if the future doesn't play out the way you want, you are right anyway?
 
HH

you nailed it here.
