    heh, how about some of the real signs we saw, like in March and April of this year:

    CNBC sends Jane Wells to a coin show and she also inverviews one each bullish and bearish silver investor

    Articles about rising gold and silver prices make the front page of the Wall Street Journal

    People who know you invest in metals, but have shown no interest in metals in the past, come up to you and ask how they can get started investing in metals

    About 5 years ago, my older brother asked me, "should I buy silver?" I told him that I'd be thinking about it, if I were him.

    About a year ago, he said "you've been buying silver, haven't you?" I said, "yup".image

    It's not even close to being a bubble.

    Look more like signs of growing popularity. Guess my I-phone is officially in a bubble.
