Interesting graphic. I also read Parts 1 and 2. In Part 2, silver use is divided into 84% fabrication and 16% investment. However, the 13.5% made into coins is included in fabrication demand - I think it would make more sense to include it as investment, since most of the coins are marketed and sold as bullion for the small investor.
Also thought the demand comparison to gold was interesting. quantity vs price is another way to look at that. And the market being smaller. Never considered that in depth. I would say I like it having more volitile price swings for buying and selling.
