San Diego, Academic Computer Center Lines: 18 Summary: silver moves in concert with gold, and industrial demand. LGold moves inversely with dollar exchange rates. When you think d$/dt = max buy silver. ATV. Silver doesn't have a bright future :-) because industrial demand has been sluggish lately, and the inflation outlook has not increased markedly. People buy metals when they think other investments will have negative real returns, since in the past metals have given returns roughly equalling the inflation rate. Although not a heavy metal freak :-) I do dabble in penny stocks when my meager college income allows. Sometimes the equities issued by metal producers perform better than the actual metals during upswings, due to the income aspects of dividends, and relative costs associated with an actual commodity future. The Wall Street Journal has a section on futures as well as foreign exchange rates which should well be read in conjunction. ARE THERE ANY MORE BULLS OUT THERE? atv
