I just read each solar panel uses 2/3 oz of silver.
Because it has the greatest refraction on earth and very good electrical conductivity, it is irreplaceable in solar panels.
Building of solar panels is surging.
As you may know, most of the easy silver has been found and mined. Most silver is near the surface and mined as a by product of zinc, lead and gold, so a price increase cannot cause a big rush in new mines.
Silver looks like a great play going forward.

Silver - you could be correct Kone but silver is very price manipulated. One example is the mammoth short position that was held by one fund in the US. 2008-2009 crash -The fund got taken over by another company as part of that package deal. There was a lot of talk about how the price of silver would rocket because that short position had to be covered and under law the position could not be transferred. Not only that, the short position exceeded the amount of silver that was stockpiled in the US. Nothing came of this - because paper shorting is easy to cover with more paper - or simply have the position disappear with a few key stokes. I forget which parties where involved but it may have been Sterns Knight and GS. It is good to know that silver is being used in more things than film, but the Hunt brothers are a great example of the steps that government will take to protect the chosen few. The Hunts got screwed, worth a read to see what went on by which firms and the politicians that received benefits by changing the regulations to protect the folks on the short side.

What's up with good ol' NPK.TO (now Verde Agritech)? Up over 11% in the first hour, on triple average daily volume. I have been holding this stock for 10 years now, as a kind of self-punishment - don't ask - but am now looking only at a further 30% rise to get out of potash jail. I'm breathing cautiously...

Answering my own question about NPK's sudden leap forward: 3rd quarter news just popped up on the Verde Agritech board
Message 33574116 In short: excellent growth of revenue and profits; fabulous outlook for next year: demand bigger than their plant can meet thus expansion into Plant 2 - and this is now being financed by debt and internal cashflow. No dilution. Good boys and girls.
