Gold & Silver Buyers in the Worlds Purest Market Think Precious Metals Are Under Priced
Silver reachea a 31 year high in March 2011, and Gold nudged record highs also. Demand for precious metals seems to show no signs of softening.
In the media, the precious metal bears and bulls trade words over what will happen next. Allegations of silver price manipulation and silver price bubbles are rife in the blogosphere. As are predictions that Silver has a long way left to run. Look long enough and you can find a price prediction of just about whatever figure you want.
However, there is one market that is all too often overlooked by the precious metal community, and that is electronic auctions. The only game in town as far as precious metals is concerned is eBay, which turnsover close to a half a billion dollars a year in gold, silver and other bullion, which in the global physical precious metals trade is not an insignificant slice.
The electronic auction is a market in its purest form. It allows two people, anywhere in the world, to strike a deal on an item at a price that both parties agree on. It is free from short selling, price manipulation, and other such distorting influences. It also a completely open medium that anyone with web access can have access to. With its user base and geographical distribution, eBay is a excellent indicator for demand.
So what is this market telling us about gold and silver prices? Well, on the face of it, it seems even at the current highs, precious metals are under priced. As the market stands in March 2011, the premiums being bid on 1 troy ounce Silver bars and coins are currently between 35 to 50%. Some well established brands such as Johnson Matthey Silver are fetching over 90% premiums on 1 ounce Silver bars. In a experiment carried out by the author of this article in March 2011, even Silver minted under a completely new, never before seen brand, attracted a 50% premium over the value of the silver contained in the bar at auction.
While it is usual for bullion coins and bars to change hands at a healthy premium over the value of the precious metal, the level of premiums being paid currently points to a expanding disconnect between the value of Silver at the exchanges (Comex etc) and the prices being paid for physical silver.
The reason for this stark elevation in premiums I believe is being driven by demand for the inflation insurance provided by precious metals. People are waking up to the fact that the purchasing power of the Dollars, Pounds and Euros in their pockets is dropping fast. Precious metals have shown how they preserved capital in the past, and now many are turning again to Precious Metal as shelter. At $1400 per ounce, rightly or wrongly, many people think the Gold ship has sailed, but At $35 per ounce, Silver still provides an affordable opportunity to get on board.

When decorating a room, can you mix gold & silver in the same room?
I have a silver piece of art on one wall, and a picture with a gold frame on the other. I am thinking of spraypainting the fram sliver, so it matches.
ALL metals are neutral and can be used together. Up to you.
