Hi tribo,(sorry, my delete button doesn't work so I can't edit [spilled a glass of great red wine on it last night - what a waste (the wine, I mean)

Out of all due respect (I assume by your avatar handle you are of first nation's blood?) - us "crazy "white guys" otherwise know as the "civilzed" (I am sure we could talk about that for the joke it is if I were fortunate to find myself meeting you [I apologize for my grammar and syntax - I'm a little hungover b) - us white guys stuck in cities and towns mneed a medium with which to get these essential things and this community that you and I are now using as a medium of communication get exactly what you mean - you are right.

I am collecting silver as a retirement plan.

When the David Morgan's and Mike Maloney's tell me - sell - I will. I could not care less about the gold or silver personally. What I do want is land whgere I can grow nutritious, non GMO food, get clean well water, have sex according to my personal needs (I believe you would agree that it is necessary to good health for a human being physically, emotionally and spiritually)- and move about freely (to another farm if necessary if the lasst one is sterile). lwhere these things allow one to thrive).

A goodly proportion of the human beings on this planet live in urban areas. This community (the DB'ers) of free-market thinkers are simply saying - use gold and silver to better assure yourself of being able to get the important things in life that you again, have listed - I say, having grown up in the 60's - right on, brother).

I live in a rural area and while I collect my silver to convert to a farm I am also subscribing to John Robb's vision of a resilient community. I have begun a dialogue with some of the local traditional farming families and hope evntually to set up a system whereby shoulds disaster strike in whatever form - the farming community and present infrastructure will be able to provide the necssities to the individuals that make up the community -

Without the help of a Canadian version of FEMA.

All the best to you and your's - The Canadian Curator.

I have no comment other than this (out of all due respect - comments in general are just parroting)- this is a man I would love to meet. Honesty exudes from the man. Perhaps one day I will be fortunate enough to be able to look straight into his eyes and shake his hand. If not, this interview has lifted me.

I know this man. He is himself - but he is also me because we meet on a common ground (call it what you will) - I call it decency.

This is my community. A community that makes me take a breath and realize what I have - not what I don't.

Thank you Mr. Morgan for doing "your part" in "your way" as "you see it" from "your perspective."

It as a powerful reminder that that is all any of us as individuals can do.

It cannot be done any other way.

All the best to you and your's, David - The Canadian Curator.

I believe that sooner or later something will happen to cause people to lose confidence in fiat money ("paper money" backed by nothing & which can be printed up indefinitely out of thin air). Just because there is still a lot of misplaced confidence in fiat money doesn't mean that people will forever remain confident in it. If given a choice between owning & using paper money v gold/silver, people will go for gold/silver. The question is, can governments stop people from using anything besides paper money? I don't think they can and a "black market" will eventually emerge using an alternate form of money that has something of intrinsic value. On top of that, some governments with large stores of precious metals in their vaults might want to give people the option of using their money backed by gold & silver. Why? Because they might want to destroy the US Dollar & replace it with their own currency. They might want to win a Currency War.

He sounds like a politician.

Silver? Very near term, up and down, of course. Further out, the sky's the limit.

When metals are bought here in Europe we have to pay 20% sales tax in the UK.

What a waste of words. trying to keep gold and silver as the bench mark for lawful money is insane to begin with. when push comes to shove it's worthless. When there is no food left, no clean water, or other bare necessities, who will give there last bit of food to one who offers them a shiny clump of gold?

If you want to invest in something that may save your life, then stock up on lifesaving items, build a stock of seeds, water distilling equipment and water purification also. buy a farm, grow all your own food, raise animals, anything else that will be for your benefit. what good will investing in metal do you when your starving or dying of thirst? Will you dig a whole with a bar of silver and plant a gold coin? Did my ancestors and others the American Indians, put faith in such nonsense? "precious metals" when one looks at them in the proper perspective, are of no consequential value at all. Bartering is still a much better currency than any paper or metal.

The Cree Indians saw this crap for what it was worth early on. and now over a century later, we still keep believing some how Metal is going to be our salvation?

If one is to survive this crumbling world, then learn from those who have lived through the most severe times. Metal, like paper, only has whatever intrinsic value that one puts upon them, they are NOT something that will allow you to live on when your very being is crying out for food and water , clothing, or shelter, to be able to survive.

I cant think of anything more ignorant or pitiful, than finding a wealthy person dead in a house full of gold having died from lack of basic needs.

Cree Prophecy:

When all the trees have been cut down,
when all the animals have been hunted,
when all the waters are polluted,
when all the air is unsafe to breathe,
only then will you discover you cannot eat money.

Do your self a big favor, look at what will get you through the hardest times and invest in those things. please consider my advice, it is meant to be "valuable"

Halfway down this page is a good graph showing that silver inventories are approaching zero.
Click to view link
90% of silver goes to industry with only 10% left for investors. The U.S. mint has run out of silver,,, once again. Since silver inventories are so low, one would expect that the silver was consumed rather than hoarded. China is now a big silver buyer. In January, Americans bought $1/2 billion worth of silver and gold.
If you look at the trend on the graph, it's unmistakable where it is going.

A good look at the historical silver chart confirms that SLV doesn't really have much metal. The world silver supply took a big jump when SLV became operational. SLV is a warehouse, not a producer.
When SLV got started, James Turk analyzed the contract language. It was far different from GLD. It was set up to rip off investors in the event of a failure of delivery.

I'll wager an ounce of silver that David Morgan knows as much about the silver story in 2013 as Max Keiser knew in 2012.

My prediction is it will be unpredictable, as if behaving in an irrational fashion.
