Im still big on silver. Most small quanites are sold online. (where most of us trade) In fact, I suggest we take the average ebay price, including shipping as the daily price of silver. Wall Street plays games with silver and gold on paper trades. It artificially keeps metal prices low. I can still make money buying and selling on ebay, even with the fees. I sell the low quality, and add the best stuff to my collection. I'm positive each year, no matter what happens in the market. Silver is good, even for the little guy like me.
