Silver rose from less than $ 1.50 per ounce in 1970 to nearly $ 50 in 1980, increased by about 2400%
Over 90% of all silver mined the past 5000 years is used up in manufacturing, and world silver inventory is now the lowest for 200 years. Meanwhile, demand for silver greater than ever.
Every year we need 100-200 million ounces more than recovered and recycled together. Essentially, the film / photo industry, electronics industry, jewelers, silver coins and Silver bullion / bars which accounts for the largest consumption of silver. This industry requires an average of 900 million ounces annually, while the supply is 750 million. Thus the world use more silver than it produced, a development that is taking place for the twentieth consecutive year. 70-80% of the silver being transferred to the market recovered today as a byproduct of copper, zinc, lead and gold mine operating earnings because of pure silver mines is minimal. This gives a clear signal that something must be done. Either the demand down, or you must supply up. The first is unthinkable, silver has become a consumable. If the supply up, obviously recovered more. And if it produced more, then silver price up to and at all clean extraction of silver attractive to mining companies.
Famous investor and billionaire Warren Buffett bought in 1997 the entire 130 million ounces of silver, the maximum number of ounces he was allowed to buy. A giant investment that attracted enormous attention. Perhaps not so surprising when you consider that the world's silver reserves reported today is about 170 million ounces. There are several familiar names who have shown their interest in silver. George Soros owns a large share of Apex Silver (SIL). Bill Gates owns more than 10% of Pan American Silver Corp. (PaaS). Major players in the financial world who have chosen to hedge some of their portfolio in silver. In China, the government sold from the quantity of their silver store the last 4 years (2005), but has had to make cutbacks after realizing that the country's rapidly growing economy will need more silver than they can produce themselves. The authorities are now stockpiling gold and silver, and has publicly gone out and asked residents to do the same: invest in real real values.
Data from the U.S. Mint confirms an increasing demand for silver. The sales of Silver Eagles doubled from an average of 4.5 million ounces of 90-years, to over 9 million oz. in 1999. Increase the time was not only a temporarily flickers, average sales for the past 9 years prior to 2008 have added about 9.5 million oz., Against the 19,583,500 oz. units sold last year.
The problem with cash is the value of the currency it has accumulated in. If you look back in time, "paper money" always ended up being worthless, and the current situation is no exception. Most of the world economy is built on numbers in the form of notes, stocks, derivatives and other so-called securities. We have a debt based monetary system that is based almost exclusively on ordinary people's borrowing needs, so-called "fractional banking." Banks' manipulation of the modern economy is an extensive chapter to themselves. .
Official figures from the U.S. for January 2009 shows that silver is underpriced for gold with a 1:77 ratio in relation to 1:15 has been the norm historically. As a long-term, defensive investing is silver, making a huge potential, and a quadrupling of today's silver price within a short time is not unthinkable.
World silver mine Production has increased shock through the past few years from about 600 million ounces in 2001 up to 670.6 million ounces in 2008, according to World Bank Silver Survey 2009
Silver is quite diverse. It is the industrial applications . On enabling out of this, if an area of the market falls a candidate can theoretically prop up the price of silver.
Some Silver Application:
* Industry: batteries, soldering, electronics
* Precious Metals: Money, Jewelry,
* New Emerging Markets: solar, water pollution, Medicinal applications

John Embry Sprott Asset Management Gold Over $2,000, Silver Above $50 in 2011
I heard that the USA will be out of money in around March 4, 2011. Bernanke the money printer as Marc Faber calls him . I thought he was just printing and imputing the crap into the Federal Reserves Beast Computer devaluing the currency. Maybe they will say phoque it and run it off the cliff.Goodbye Pension Plans. Silver at $50 or even at $500 is not beyond the realms of possibilities, there have been plenty of smart and savy commentators whom have suggested that certainly $400 is going to be a given! I've read others who paint a convincing forecast towards $15,000 Gold and $1,500 silver! Hold on to your positions, the mainstream public have yet to realise what is happening, when it does, that's the time to get ready to sell. When the DOW and FTSE are at parity with Gold ratio! Gold isnt in a bubble. The Fed is a bubble and its about to burst. End the Fed. However I hope the manipulation continues for a little longer because that will allow people to acquire more silver. Silver will outperform gold by a country mile. 2% of the population only invest in metals at present. We need to educate the general population because we will all have to help each other soon in the new normal world."I find it beyond remarkable that U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner can say with a straight face that the U.S. would not devalue the dollar for export advantage. He did exactly that in a speech to Silicon Valley business leaders just before an important meeting of the finance ministers of the G20 countries in Seoul, South Korea, in late October. I would suggest that this represents another classic example of making sure you pay attention to what people do rather than what they say. Geithner's obvious mendacity probably also contributed mightily to the essential failure of the Seoul conclave to arrive at any substantive answers on the subject of the intensifying currency wars."
