1% z 1%

Len US$1 z každých US$10,000 je každoročne vložený do striebra ako do investície. Investičný dopyt je asi 100mil. oz za rok, celková ročná produkcia je 750 mil. uncí. Striebro aj napriek očakávaným turbulenciami v cene zostáva jednou z najlepších investícií do budúcnosti.

So only $1, out of every $10,000, is being spent on silver as an investment each year.

That means that less than 1% of 1% of money in US banks is being spent on silver as an investment each year.

In other words, by the time that 1% of money in US banks recognizes inflation as a problem, and tries to buy silver to protect itself from monetary destruction, silver demand by investors will be 100 times higher than it is today.

Often people are confused by such statistics. They try to put their heads around it. They ask things like:

"If silver's such a great deal, how come nobody is buying it?" They just answered their own question, if they think twice about it. Silver is such a great deal because nobody's buying it! If everybody were buying it, silver would no longer be such a great deal. Or, in fact, if only 1% of people were buying silver, the silver price would likely be more than 10 times higher than it is today.

Or, they will state, "Well, nobody I know is buying silver, I'll wait until a few of my friends buy silver, first." But that's a big mistake. Unless you know of the secret investment habbits of tens of thousands of people, that not even brokers would know. Because by the time one person in 100 is buying silver, then the silver price will be several hundred dollars per ounce!

You could say, the price is too low, because nobody is buying. Or, you could say that since nobody is buying, it creates a price that is too low. Which is the cause, which is the effect? It does not matter, they correlate.

The silver story is simple. No nation on earth is using silver as a circulating medium of exchange. That creates a reduced form of monetary demand. It does NOT mean that silver is no longer money, since money is at least three things; a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value. So if anyone is buying silver as a store of value, then those people are using silver as money. Investors who are buying about 100 million oz. of silver per year are showing that they value silver as money, because they perceive silver to be a great store of value.
