 Too much crap that would take to long to debunk, pick one thing from it and I'll tell you why it's wrong.0

            I believe the independant experts that track the demand and supply by getting their figures directly from the people that produce and use silver.
 Figures that come from the government. The very ones that do not want silver to become money again but want people to keep using their fiat unbacked currency.Too much crap that would take to long to debunk, pick one thing from it and I'll tell you why it's wrong.
 How about these?........
 Clothing manufacturers have discovered a fog type spray blended into cloth used for athletic wear (sweat shirts, climbing clothes, hunting, sports, etc.) wick away human sweat keeping the person much cooler. The "secret" ingredient of the spray? Silver! Go into any sporting goods stores today and ask to see the new anti-sweat wicking clothing goods. EVERY store has them. They LOVE to sell them as they keep it a secret the fog the cloth spend a few hours in costs about 10 cents per garmet but they charge 30 to100% more. They are selling like crazy because it works!
 Here are some more (yet to come in quantity). IF the new all electric cars are ever sold in quantity (I wonder as they are catching on fire!) they require a SPECIAL battery and that battery requires a minute amount of silver. Your regular lead acid battery is WAY too heavy if you want to go more than five miles and other batteries are not much better. Even this special EXPENSIVE battery has a range of 100 miles and takes hours to charge. Ten million of these electric cars with the silver using batteries equals twice the annual amount of silver mined world wide!
 I go on. Roof mounted electric solar panels each require a small amount of silver. IT MUST BE SILVER - PERIOD! To put panels on the roofs of 100 millions average sized homes would require THREE times the annual amount of silver mined world wide.0

            woooooooooo.....
 the Mystery Metal!
 I like it!!
 As an aside I also like the way you've mirrored it. You know, what with [STRIKE]silver[/STRIKE] (sorry) the mystery metal breaking the laws of physics and you having defeated the apparent biological dead end your genes have set out on to reach such a ripe old age.
 You didn't suffer any large radiation exposures during your tests did you?0

 Who are you talking to? I am just quoting the engineer who worked for the Atomic energy division all those years. I do not claim it was me saying this.

 Ah my mistake.
 I thought your story had taken another interesting turn but it's just another cut and paste job. sigh.
 You are sure you've not been irradiated? That might, or might not, be by lizards.0

 You are sure you've not been irradiated JohnyBravo? That might, or might not, be by lizards or illuminati. Or maybe the aliens you believe in are really watching us?
 Me I dont buy into all your rubbish I am a man of simple tastes. Thats why I want out of paper before it devalues any more. I am very happy with the gains in gold and silver every year as paper and property keep going down in value 0 0

 The figures come directly from the industry, not the government. The very industry that stand most to gain from inflated silver prices, but by law are burdend to tell the truth.0

 This doesn't sound like it would use much silver, but it would never take off if silver was too expensive.

 There are alternatives to using silver in batteries and again they wouln't use it if it was too expensive.I go on. Roof mounted electric solar panels each require a small amount of silver. IT MUST BE SILVER - PERIOD! To put panels on the roofs of 100 millions average sized homes would require THREE times the annual amount of silver mined world wide.
 This isn't true, there are alternatives here too, it's just that silver is very efficient and still relatively cheap. I've seen figures and projections that silver use in solar panels will increase from 50 million ounces to 100 million ounces in 2015. Given the annual production surplus of over 170 million ounces I don't think this will be a problem.0

 I hope your right because it will be too expensive soon.
 Your projections for solar panels were maybe before Fukeshima? This event changed the world, from now on renewable energy from solar panels will be higher than all projections.
 You are trying very hard as a silver bear lvader, must admit you are the best I have ever meet online on any forum.
 So what are your projections for silvers price over the next say 8 years before 2020?0

 Before you reply lvader can I tell you what I think?
 You have to remember gold and silver are now world markets, last bull market like this one in the 70's it was only the West participating.
 There are now more than 10 times the people available to buy gold and silver with more than 10 times the units of fiat currencies all over the world. But with silver bullion there is 10x less silver available for the 10 times more people with 10 times more units of fiat currency.
 So my projections for this decade are if the global financial crisis has the softest possible landing (least likely) then silver's high will only be in the hundreds.
 If there is a currency crisis in one of the main words currencies (Euro looking most likely at present) then obviously silver would go up to infinity depending on how the currency crisis spread around the world and the implications.
 If there is another major war (Iran anyone) or Syria or not even the middle East could be anywhere else then this could cause a run on precious metals.
 Plus many other factors that I have mentioned before, so my prediction is the high for silver sometime this decade will be at least in the hundreds maybe in the thousands of units of fiat currency depending on how much the worlds supply gets abused.
 What are anyone else's projections?0
