If it did nothing else other than raise awareness in especially the young about the importance of holding hard physical assets with no counter party risk then it can be called a success.  the young have been conditioned to give value to digital products, just as one example their gaming is all about skins and weapons packs and digital download purchases and the games themselves are now held in a cloud library rather than physically sitting on their shelf in their own posession so if that cloud goes so does all their purchases.  The thing with you will own nothing and be happy is if you are doing nothing but renting stuff you must be renting from someone who does own it.

It's obvious that when JP Morgan took over the SLV position from Bear Stearns they said to the government we will take it on but we will need to rig it and we need you to go along with this and the government said fine.  This level of collusion is so difficult to overcome..

HAHAHA, this sums up the talks about grading and special coins. 
Keep buying what is lowest, it is all silver at the end of the day. 

I know its only an indication, but pushing at a major resistance https://ftx.com/trade/SLV/USD
i wonder if there is more going on than we think hedgefund vs hedgefund vs hedgefund... be interesting to watch tonight

Even if this all comes to nothing I think the increase in awareness of the silver situation won't go wrong, looking at the new sign ups to the forum over the last few days this looks like a vast increase over the norm so to my mind that bodes well.  I would also like to know if there is any discrepancy in supply and demand between the UK and the US as I believe the situation is vastly different between the two.  Here in the UK we have the rise in premiums of late combined with the shock to the system that is the full 20% VAT, I for one can't bring myself to buy of late and am thankfull I accumulated a decent position while the prices were better, I started stacking in 2015 and it looks like a happy accident that I got in at the bottom.
The US situation to my mind is different, they have coin shops everywhere, we just have a tiny handful, they don't pay anything like we do for silver in the way of hiddenn extras like VAT. What is blatantly ovbious is that these shennanigans are not just kids with a gripe against the system, there is big institutional money working alongside.

Because that series started when I started stacking and my interest in silver I went with it, obviously in hindsight I should have gone in heavier with the Queens Beasts instead but I have 2 of every proof release up to the pig and a tube of every bullion release as well as forking out for a display box which is now useless, this is the equivalent of when a TV series gets canned without ever wrapping up any of the plot lines, true it was not the best but to say I am annoyed would be an understatement.  I see they are still selling the 1oz proof and the overpriced cupro nickel release so that makes it look like it's purely the profit the Royal Mint are interested in.  They just lost a customer, Once my Queens Beast series is complete I am done with them.

It must be nice to have such rich parents, in order for the kids to be able to bring countries to court. 

Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore has said the following :
By the end of the Save the Whales campaign and all the others, the rest of the environmental movement and Greenpeace, my fellow directors, were basically treating humans as the enemies of the Earth. It had switched over the years from humans being part of nature and part of what we were fighting for to being the enemies of what we were fighting for. And I don’t see it that way because I am an ecologist, and I understand that we all evolved from life on this Earth together. We’re all part of the same ecosystem and the same planet, and we shouldn’t look at it as if we’re separate from nature. We should look at is as if we’re a part of nature, and of course we are.
...
As time went on, I watched as Greenpeace evolved, basically hijacked by the extreme left. We were pretty centrist when we started. We were basing our positions on science and logic, as I saw it, and I’ve been a scientist all my life; that’s my orientation — not to make up stories and not to exaggerate unnecessarily. And I found that Greenpeace was just going off into this sensationalism and misinformation, and using fear to get people to send them money — fear that the world was coming to an end, which we hear repeated over and over and over again now with this final declaration by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that we have 12 years left until the end of the world. The fact is that people have been saying that since the beginning of time, and it never has been and it never will be true but people get away with it.
 
And a bit on the silver price - up 72p - noice!

Today I received my World of Dragons display box from Alun, first rate as always, everything I decide to collect now hinges on whether I can get a display box for it so Aluns boxes have made my mind up on a few sets now.  Just waiting on the latest Chinese dragon round now for halfway there.
