Silver has been an important metal for thousands of years, often used as a medium of exchange or jewelry in ancient times. The mineral was traditionally mined alongside copper and lead deposits across the Near East and the Mediterranean around the height of the Roman Empire. Today, silver still finds its way into jewelry and coins but it has also found its way into a number of more ‘modern’ applications as well. As such, it should come as no surprise to see silver as an extremely popular financial instrument through out the commodity space.

I love the recent quote from silver expert David Morgan: “The rush into gold is basically nation states, but the rush into silver is basically ‘the people,’ and it’s not just ‘the people’ of the U.S. it is ‘the people’ of the world. There will be a rush into gold and then silver like you have never seen before. This will be a global phenomenon. It wasn’t in 1979, this time it will be. You will either have it or you don’t.”
I suppose that when the rush begins, these silver blogs will be a great resource for lot’s of good people.
