"Silver has intrinsic value because it is a commodity; it’s rare, and it exists regardless of the world around it. In this regard, silver is a safer investment than the S&P500 because it has real intrinsic value. An ounce of silver will exist regardless of the life of the S&P500 components."

" Now silver and gold are the ultimate cash but that's only known by probably 1% of the world's population. The other 99% of the world's population looks at pieces of paper with presidents' pictures on them [as] the ultimate liquidity." David Morgan

"If you don't own any of the physical metals, you definitely want to start building a position now, because nobody can tell you things will not get seriously bad—chaotically bad—in the months and years ahead. Whether that happens or not, an ounce of gold will always be an ounce of gold. An ounce of silver will always be an ounce of silver. And, someone, somewhere will take that off your hands and give you something of value in exchange for it." Louis James Casey Research

Silver Update 12/13/11 Scientistic Technocracy Brother JohnF

"Investors should be aware that gold and other commodities will experience extreme volatility in 2012--even more than what was witnessed in 2011. However, the timing for the next move to new highs will hang on the ECB’s deployment of its ultimate plan of massive monetization of unsterilized European debt." Michael Pento

"My big picture is that Merkel and the Germans will allow the printing of money and once that happens, just as it happened in 2008, once you get a sign, that’s blastoff time for gold. Gold and silver will shoot up like rockets. In my opinion gold will close 2012 at $2,500 or above, probably above. Gold could easily double from here in the next 12 months if you get the kind of money printing that I expect to happen in Europe." Stephen Leeb

(Reuters) - Last week's EU summit went a long way towards forging the closer economic ties needed to prevent future debt crises but markets are likely to judge it as too little and too late to solve the current one.

Where is the Bubble — Gold or Credit?

http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2011/12/where-is-the-bubble-gold-or-credit/

It's a good thing Central Banks can't print gold. "As central banks print money and increase supply, currencies become devalued. Whereas in the recent past, one currency may be reduced in value compared with other currencies, this time there is global competitive devaluation as excess liquidity is put into the system" Frank Holmes

http://www.mineweb.com/mineweb/view/mineweb/en/page103855?oid=141425&sn=Detail

The only weapon the world bankers have is the US Federal Reserve printing presses. The modern day financial world is governed by its electronic money supply, the money supply is controlled by the bankers, and it may surprise you that a few banking elite control and influence the world banking community. The powerful bankers are: Bank of England, Bank of New York, Deutsche Bundesbank, Goldman Sachs, JPM, Rothschild's and Rockerfellas. It is this elite banking community that does not want to lose, and if a loss is to eventuate then they wish the worlds taxpayer's to cover it on the basis that they are to big to fail. Of course that has been done very successfully.
