Silver is being utilized more and more in nanotechnology applications. According to a recent report from NanoMarkets, a leading industry analyst firm based in California, the market for silver conductive inks is expected to rise from the current 176 million dollars per annum to 1.2 billion dollars during next 7 years. This is a seven-fold increase!

When I first became interested in silver during the late 1950’s, the U.S. government had a stockpile of 2.5 billion ounces of silver. The amazing fact is that all of this silver has long since been sold. Most of it is gone forever! The majority of uses for silver does not allow for recovery, since only small portions are being used in each application. Computers, cell phones, T.V.’s, fridges, batteries, weapons, and now ink and RFID applications, each use a tiny amount. However, multiplied by large quantities, this ever increasing use is causing a constant drain on the remaining silver stocks.

I realize there are people who think that the large silver stockpile of the 1960’s still exists somewhere, but if you talk to some of the CEO’s of large coin dealerships who have been in business for a decade or more, they will tell you that investment demand for silver is a very recent factor. The vast majority of investors have been unaware of the potential that exists in silver investments, until recently. For some reason, most investors do not ‘board the train' until it is well underway.
