Since Republic Metals filed bankruptcy in November, Silver bars and rounds have seen much tighter supply. The remaining brand name refiners are at least 2-3 weeks out for delivery. Premiums have also been rising since November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a gold or silver bug but I respect those who are and understand the market. I purchased some GLD and SLV this summer thinking things had bottomed and were ready for a rip up. That never happened. But I got out of GLD for a small gain. I'm still holding SLV for a small loss since it never got above $14.50 again. Having watched GLD and SLV respond this bear cycle and previously in the 2000 and 2008 bears I really get the impression that only GLD acts like real money and is a true hedge. SLV seems to trade more like any other commodity and really doesn't spike up when the market tanks predictably (or as a currency hedge). I recall in the last two bears SLV really went South for a long periods before recovering. I think the next time around I will only trade GLD and not bother with SLV at least as a market/currency hedge. I think I'd only trade SLV if I had a good handle on manufacturing / production ratios, etc. much as I would with lumber or anything else. But this is not my area of expertise. Just a few musings.
