    I I have no idea what will happen next. We're in uncharted territory.

    Open question - Financial

    Industries know that silver is running out and they have been (and currently still are) purchasing extra silver to store in advance for themselves because they know that without it they will have to stop making products and will go out of business. This is a large part of the reason why silver...

    Industries have to use 999 pure silver to make their product. Anything less pure and batteries, solar panels or electronic devices would not work properly (or at all). The refineries are backed up and running at full capacity at the moment. They are trying to keep up with the current high...

    Stackers are the least of their problems. They're a far too small a proportion of market share to have any significant impact on the price. The real problem is what happens next month (or the month after, or the month after that...) when large industries who require physical silver to make...

    Atkinsons and Chards are the two of the biggest and best. They are both long established for many decades and have pristine reputations. Of course there is also Bullion By Post and the Royal Mint themselves who are also well known and reliable but they tend to be overpriced compared to everyone...

    Even the people who bought silver below £30 last year aren't willing to sell. Everybody knows silver is worth much more than the current £65 spot price says it is. The price of silver did not drop on Friday. Right now all around the world people are paying around £100-£130 per oz for silver.

    As far as I can tell, no one, anywhere in the world is willing to sell silver at the £65 spot price which is the price that the 'paper' silver market says silver is currently valued at. If today, right now, you wanted to take physical possession of 1oz of actual silver atoms you have to pay...

    Alternative to a sleeveless cotton vest

    Has anyone here ever tried a SubZero Factor 1 base-layer? They have some end-of-line sleeveless vests (in size small only) available with almost 2/3 off the original price at the moment. Synthetic material rather merino wool but they have some good reviews and are made in England.

    Anyone a fan of tinned fish?

    Actually I'm going to suggest making tinned fish candles tonight for a laugh to see what happens. :D

    Really good budget clothing

    My girlfriend bought me an Apache workwear jacket for a couple of quid from a charity shop about about ten years ago. It still gets worn regularly for three seasons a year and is going strong despite getting snagged on thorns and barbed wire more times than I care to remember

    Anyone a fan of tinned fish?

    I'm just imagining what my other half would do if I started using tinned fish as candles around the house. :D Maybe I'll give it ago outside somewhere at the weekend.

    Disclaimer - This is personal opinion not financial advice. :) If I had a box of scrap silver I would hold on to it for a while and wait for higher prices.

    Many of the bullion dealers websites are showing that they have no silver in stock which I suspect is really a polite way of saying "We do have some silver in the vault but we're not daft enough to give it away at these prices."

    £3.99 for values upto £250. £9.00 for values over £250.

    I don't care what the spot price says. Silver is NOT £56.62 at the moment. Now that the market has had a few hours to settle down after reopening again I've had a look round the bullion shops and the cheapest that I can find deliverable physical silver is over £84 per oz (including VAT) plus...

    Anyone a fan of tinned fish?

    How do you do this? Do you poke a small hole in the tin and then push the wick through the hole or do you open the tin completely before putting the wick in?

    Price inflation of products and assets which is the dollar losing purchasing power. They will continue to dedollarise even faster by selling more of their US bonds. The shiny yellow stuff which bankers and financial advisors like to call an "archaic rock". :)
