Entgegen allen "Knappheitsbeteuerungen der "Hardcore-Silberbugs"

"I have great admiration for Jason Hommel. He's bought a lot of silver from me in the past. I am surprised at his 'warning' that everyone is out of silver, including A-Mark, my supplier. You're WRONG JASON at least about A-Mark.The demand has caught everyone by surprise, including the US Mint.
Our supplier of 10 ounce bars and A-Mark rounds, is the same company which makes the blanks for the US Mint. (The Mint stamps out the coins,. but the blanks are made by a private mint). Whenever a sudden demand for a product happens, no matter whether it is cars, spaghetti, houses, or gold and silver, the normal supply systems are upset. When a grocery store customarily sells 1,000 gallons of ice cream in a week, and a hot spell causes great demand, the grocery store is going to be short ice cream, because everyone bought what they had. Ice cream isn't short. The demand overwhelmed the dairy which makes the ice cream, that's all...

Now Jason (Hommel) should know by now, that there can be no shortages of ANYTHING, if there are no price controls. The price of anything on the free market will see to it that there is no shortage, regardless of what it is. Then silver and gold took a nose dive, causing even more demand. If there were a 'shortage,' which is impossible without government price controls, the price would go to the sky, not lose a couple of bucks an ounce! If silver, or rather when silver goes to $50 or $75 an ounce, its price will be reflecting the amount available. The less available, the higher the price will be, and the market will cause people not to buy because they consider it 'too high.' No shortage however, just price reflecting demand and supply..... The demand for silver has increased tremendously, and the manufacturing ability is increasing as I write this. There will be a delay for ten ounce bars of a week or so, but you can still lock in the price at today's prices..."

Ja! Die Aussagen eines "bodenständigen" Silberbrokers bzw. -verkäufers aus USA (Don Stout), der seine "Glaubwürdigkeit" nicht leichtfertig aufs Spiel setzen möchte.
