After 44 years this was a "first".

After 44 years of dealing in silver (buying, stacking, selling, trading) I finally experienced a "first" when this Tuesday morning I rushed down to the local coin shop and the owner told me for the time being he is no longer selling any gold or silver; he is however a buyer :o Amazing times......

Makes sense... the price he bought all or most his inventory at is now much lower. Can't sell at a loss.

I experienced this with my LCS in 2008.

Why think about tapping into the remaining US90% or other silver at your LCS?

I can't imagine anyone selling their US90% silver at a loss just to have made a sale. Like most of us, we're not prone to sell PMs at a loss or try to be a charitable organization.

Agree that the stuff is sitting in the back room waiting for the price to go back up. I too experienced this in 2008.

Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.
