not exciting, it will crash very very soon, following the same pattern it did in the late 70's i think it was, someone post an analytical chart from then, rose to an all-time high then CRASHED to around 8/oz for over a decade! you will see this happen again very soon
The difference is inflation and demand. More things require silver at the moment than did in the 70s/80s and we are going to see higher levels of inflation than we probably ever have seen. Just look at the graph that I posted a few posts back about the monetary base, the fact is that the fed has more than doubled the monetary base in a period of about 3 years. That is going to have a -huge- impact on prices as soon as that money leaves the banks.
I think that there is unprecedented demand for silver (and gold) at the moment. This isn't the hunt brothers cornering the market anymore, this is a combination of a lack of supply, large demand, and soon to be unprecedented inflation in the US means that we won't see silver at $8 and ounce until things get so bad that we have to revalue our currency.
