In gold, fundamental buying (i.e. metal) is pushing up the price. In silver, it may be a bit more biased towards speculative buying (i.e. paper).<br /><br />It is telling that in Friday’s rally, gold went up more than silver. Also, silver ended the week down from the week before.The fundamental price of this metal now has a 14 handle on it."</i><br /><br />2. <b>An online Bullion Dealer</b><br />https://www.bullionstar.com/buy/product/silver_perth%20mint_1kg<br /><br />I have bought from these guys before, and they are both reputable an reliable. Koos Jansen now works for them. <br /><br />On their website, make sure you switch to US$ and then enter a plausibly large order for Silver bars: lets go for 100 kg for starters; its ok, because the order is not firm until they take your payment details, so its safe to play around. Lets go for those nice reliable Perth Mint Kilobars that Bron Sucheki produces - at US$570 each that is a premium of 12.5% over live spot (or just under $2 oz). <br /><br />They will quote you 100 kg at $2/oz over spot, they will sell you 100 kg at $2 /oz over spot and they will deliver (or warehouse) you $100 kg at $2 /oz over spot. <b>There IS no shortage of Silver, there IS no hefty premium for bulk Silver</b><br /><br />3. <b>The Silver Market in Crisis</b><br />http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-silver-market-in-crisis/5413121<br /><br /><i>" on Monday and Tuesday and stories of “sell outs” started to swirl. By Wednesday morning, we found out that premiums jumped again and many products were going “wait list” of 2-3 weeks..... $15 Siver you say? Too bad, you can’t have any! You can’t have any because <b>there is none to be had!</b> ... available. In fact, this was the case by close of business Wednesday.
