I have some silver, maybe 20oz, but all has been bought from individuals at spot price. I guess I am hopeful it will go up, but when you are 30% behind when you start, it makes a person wonder.
There will come a time, within my lifetime, in which no amount of dollars will buy one ounce of the silver I hold.
