    April Fools

    April 1, 2013

    Four things silver bulls have wrong

    Silver bulls: Silver is a commodity, it is a store of value, same as Gold

    Correct answer:Silver is a commodity. Silver is a commodity. Silver is a commodity. Consider the following:

    Prior to 2009 less than 3% of the annual Silver supply went to investment.

    Since 2002 only 7.9% of the entire Silver supply has been off taken for investment. Even in the peak investment demand year of 2011 (the year the suckers were really reeled in),

    only 11.4% of total Silver supply went toward investment.

    The entire demand of Silver for coinage and investment is met no, it is exceeded by scraprecovery.

    Prior to 2003 the investor actually was a net dis-investor of Silver. This will occur againsomeday.

    Silver bulls: Silver should be at approximately 1/15th

    the price of Gold

    Correct answer:The relationship between the price of Gold and Silver is not based on the

    beliefs of some Spanish king 500 years ago. Sorry, but Ferdinand is no longerthe dictator of the precious metals market.

    Supply and demand determines the ratio the ratio during the past several decades is shown below.

    Silver bulls: The CME/COMEX Silver exchange is a fraud. The exchange only trades paperSilver. If you want to be invested in real Silver, the only way is through bullion purchases orselected EFS (such as SIVR).

    This is one of the favorite arguments of the Silver bulls, to which I say REALLY? I mean REALLY?

    I will admit that the Comex pulled a fast one on the Hunt brothers in the early 1980s. The actions of theexchange are well documented. But this paper Silver argument is b bunch of bull. In fact, you have it180 degrees wrong.

    Silver delivery takes place every monthly. On this point, Silver bulls need to get their facts straight, andthey need to put their money where they mouth is. Silver bulls, here is what you:

    Silver bulls: The world will soon run out of Silver

    Correct answer: Sorry, yourpeak Silver story is as tarnished as your long position from $48 per oz. It iskind of like peak oil.

    I have repeatedly challenged Silver bulls with the following:

    Provide me with sound research from the Silver industry or a credible academic source to supportyourrunning out of Silver argument. I am not interested in your opinion or some scam data fromthe blog of another Silver bull. I want solid research.

    I have appealed to Silver bulls with this request for three years and I have three years of silence.
