Silver Shortages Growing and Premiums Rising

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:21 AM on Friday, September 30th, 2011

My last column noted that delivery times on physical silver were backing up. In the two days since, there has been a significant slowdown in deliveries. Further, premiums are on the rise. The reason for these trends is that virtually everyone is a buyer of physical silver and not a seller at this week’s lower prices. Not only are people buying, but they are buying right away rather than taking time to “think about it.”
