It is my belief that most people who are going to participate in the gold and silver market from the next leg up to the top are going to do it through the stock market.

But I think the summer of 2008 was a precursor to what we can expect in the future. There could be a time when some dealers are flat out of silver. It’s just too hard to get. The dealer might think they have to pay the wholesaler too big a premium so might not bother with it. Let us not overstate the situation because we’re not there, but we did get a hint of it already.

"It is my belief that most people who are going to participate in the gold and silver market from the next leg up to the top are going to do it through the stock market. Most people are not that comfortable buying physical gold and silver, although it’s the easiest investment you can make. Basically, it’s a phone call . . . send your money and get your metal. It’s literally that simple. Yet as simple as that is, many people will not buy the physical but will jump into the mining shares."

Boy, I agree with that. Mining shares or maybe ETFs. But let's think about this for a minute. IMO, the main reason people should be buying PMs is because they fear instability in the financial markets and fiat money in general. But if you are only trading your paper for more paper how better off are you really? If people are buying PMs I hope they understand they are doing so for serious reason(s). If push comes to shove, then they shouldn't be surprised to learn they were burned once again with paper PMs.

People like to buy stuff their brokers recommend. Brokers don't make money on physical.

How many brokers recommended Enron, GM and other stocks that have totally tanked? Give me the physical metal any day. My current holdings in mining stocks are worth less than $200, and I don't see that changing much.
