CU wont let me post the link here because it inadvertently has a forbidden word in the link. But go to market watch.com (make it all one word, can you now figure out what the forbidden word is? LOL)
and search for the article titled, "Forget about whether $100 silver is possible — how about $1,000?"
Now that's the SPIRIT!

50 years? Avi says $50 in the next 5 years at most, not 50.

-Silver and gold will continue it's downward trickle for about 6-8 more months and then turn upward and hit mid-$40/oz by yearend 2018 or early/mid 2019.
-US debt will hit $20,000,000,000,000 by this time 2 years from now.
-Interest rates will have been raised 4 times by yearend 2017.

I searched multiple sources a few months back and the bracketed range for the cost of the 2008-2009 crisis ranged from $12 to $22 TRILL. Even the govt's own GAO agreed with the lower end of that range. Recall that otc credit default swaps were deleveraged down some $20-$30 TRILL. And MBS derivatives went from $5-7 TRILL down to almost nothing. Someone had to pay the winners off on those bets. A large % of the money payola'd out doesn't show up on any FED or USTreasury accounting sheet. I recall seeing the end of 2008 BIS/OCC otc derivative's holdings. And the big banks declared a net $7-$10 TRILL "gain" in value. That would seem to suggest someone profited very big and pay offs were made. For lack of anything better I'll stick with the GAO at -$12 TRILL....though I think it's really on the order of $15-$20 TRILL.

Not saying it wont run back up year or two down the line, but those numbers are obsurd.
<< <i>POM, it's not gonna happen that fast, probably 20 years or more before we see $40 again. Its funny how all the dealers thought I was crazy when I said $18 was coming and then soon $15. Look up my post, sorry to say market manipulation vs lacking fundamentals equals lack of rising PM's. The crap these idiots post in their silver gonna hit $1000 and ounce blogs and articles is funny at best. >>
Who can say if it's 20 yrs...or 5 years, 10 years, or never. Once silver fell below strong support at $26 the game was over. Any "low" predictions from that point were sort of useless as it was pretty clear where things were headed. Cohodk called gold at $1200 and silver down around $14-$16 long before it became "popular" to "outlow" the next guy....up around the $1600/$26-$30 level as I recall.
For investments, a good rule of thumb is that a nice investment should double in 7 years. if it doubles faster, hey, great, yay that investment! if it's slower, it's probably safer than an investment that doubles in 7 years or less, which can also get cut in half in a year or two depending on the market cycles or if the risks that were taken to try to achieve yield crapped out and you end up losing money.
Do you think silver can double or triple in 3-5 years?
I don't.
I do believe I will see $50, $60 $70 silver someday, but think it may take 10, 20 years to get there again.
there are too many people getting older day by day and holding physical silver, who will sell next time it sees $40+, including many many heirs whose parents and grandparents bought the stuff in the first place.

And to show no bias. Since the 2011 peak silver has fallen >45% in 5 months and a second time in 8 months. And the crash into and out of the October 2008 bottom was vicious in both directions. It works both ways. Following silver's crash in 1980 it went up in 90% in 12 months (May 1986-May 1987). I wouldn't ever rule out a doubling in a short period of time after an extensive down turn.
US mint "playing" with silver prices?
The author above mentions what the $9 BILL in silver derivatives are all about. Now that Citibank increased the total amount of silver derivatives by >$50 BILL in 2015....what's that all about? Any help from Citibank alumnus Mr. Lew there? Or how about former Citi CEO Robert Rubin? He was the original king of PM's manipulation in the 1960s (London Gold Pool) and then the strong dollar policy/gold carry trade of the 1990's. The apples don't fall far from the Citi/GS/JPM trees.
Also from the author:
Everyday since the Mint began selling Silver Eagles again on Monday the amounts have been rising dramatically. So much so that on Thursday the July totals hit 5,529,000 coins sold even though they were closed for half the month.
http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/index.cfm?action=PreciousMetals&type=bullion
On the surface it’s been very positive news for silver bugs but what struck me as CRIMINAL MANIPULATION was that the US Mint STOPPED adding sales on Thursday at that specific amount 5,529,000 and added ZERO sales on Friday. Why did they stop adding to the sales data? Because anything more than that amount would have made HEADLINES!!! You see, the largest sales month in 2015 so far was January where the Mint sold 5,530,000 Silver Eagles. Did they stop adding to the sales data on purpose to change perception? You decide…because the US Mint posted ZERO Silver Eagle sales for Friday – the last day of July! Could you just imagine the headlines if the amount of Silver Eagles sold in July (when the US Mint shut down production for half the month) was the highest month of the year? Conclusion: The Silver Manipulation Con continues at the highest levels of the US Government.
I don't know if the "C" word applies here....that's for the fiat bugs to pounce all over. But to fall exactly 1,000 coins short of January's record totals is a bit coincidental....lol (2 minutes of production). And with half the month shutdown....it certainly was an all time production record. That's just a statistical fact....if you believe the US Mints production totals in the first place....lol. The author has written some pretty crazy stuff over the years (ie Road to Roota). I just try to pick out the few facts that are worthy of mentioning. Fiat bugs haven't been fed since last week so I offer this up to them.
January 5,530,000
February 3,022,000
March 3,519,000
April 2,851,500
May 2,023,500
June 4,840,000
July 5,529,000...

I was there when it was put in place and know the guy who suggested and designed it as well as the folks who approved it as making good sense in terms of avoiding big swings in silver prices. This all happened when silver was below $15 an ounce as I recall, with swings in both directions going on regularly.

Someone who thinks it will go even higher? Or someone who is just starting out and can only get it at prices in effect at the time.

I dunno! I just feel like a gambler at a casino, and if i just make one more trip to the ATM, I'm going to get lucky and "get out even" if I buy some more silver at lower prices!

Who bought last time when silver got near 50? Possibly some who are buying now or lower will sell on the way up. There are always buyers and sellers. You can't have one without the other. Stackers and flippers too. Probably won't be the same ones who got burned with it before.

<< <i>If so much silver is being accumulated at these levels, then who is going to buy it a higher prices? >>
When you see questions like this you know they don't make any sense. Every ounce of above ground silver is spoken for. There's an owner for every ounce, at every price level. Who is going to buy it at higher prices? I guess that might be the people who were waiting for $5/oz and never saw it. Who was going to buy silver at $4-$5 ounce in 1999-2001? Someone ended up with it. Who was going to buy the stock market at higher prices these last few years?
A finest known rare coin I had been tracking from 1975-1980 just ran away from me....I missed my window. It went up 16X in that period. Who was going to buy it at that peak? It ended up being one of the sharpest coin dealers/attorneys in the business. And they get whacked good as it dropped 68% over the next 6 years. Who was gonna buy it then? Me. Who was gonna buy it at higher prices? Gene Gardner for one. What might seem over-priced and having no future today, could be just the opposite. Who was gonna buy gold when it reached your target of $1175-$1200 back in 2009? Clearly, lots of people bought it....for the next 2 years. If silver moved back above $18 or even $20/oz from here I'd think a lot more people would consider buying it, especially those who missed out. Maybe some of that leveraged money in the stock market might find its way into commodities and PMs just like 2000-2001. If no one is ever willing to buy at higher prices, then the item goes to zero eventually. Some large entities are surely acquiring large amounts of physical silver at current prices. What's a better relative value, stocks at 2015 levels or silver at 2006 levels? It doesn't hurt any that the silver miners are losing money and cutting back...most have all-in costs in the $15-$22 range. 2015 should show a drop in annual world silver production as mines are cut back, put on maintenance, shuttered, etc.
GFMS was projecting higher silver prices in 2015-2016 back in May - clearly someone would have to buying at higher prices.

I got it. Markets didn't apply from 1980-2001. Long vacation for the regulators. In any case that basically agrees with the above of "management of markets" from forces outside normal supply and demand via typical end users.

A dealer can be busy as heck and not selling much in the retail space. A dealer friend of mine was very busy buying in the 2011 silver mania. And he was selling nearly everything to the smelter. If you check US Mint ASE sales when silver has been high in price, their sales volume tends to be way down....and just the opposite at low price extremes (ie Jan/July/Aug 2015).
US silver producer Hecla reports $26.8 MILL quarterly loss at average sales of $16.32/oz silver
Hecla would have needed at least $18.25/oz silver to break even this quarter if they sold all their 2nd qtr production. If you only include actual sales, they needed $20/oz. And they reported cash costs/net byproduct of $5.61oz....
<< <i>Think Apple. Who doesn't own it? >>
If you're talking the fruit, I own some all the time.....and eat them everyday.
If you're talking about Apple the company, I've never owned it. Never owned an Apple product of any sort. Zilch. Nada. I guess that makes me as rare as the guy who bought silver at $50/oz and still owns it all....lol. But, at least you found me. Now go find the (lone?) guy who owns silver at $50/oz.
I suspect if I polled the people on my street I'd find at least 30% who "don't own Apple"....maybe even more. In Baleyville it might be closer to 00.44%. In Botswana may be 90%. I suspect over half the world doesn't own Apple.
At the end of 2013 only 14% of US families owned Apple stock. 30% owned cats.
