So how much more demand can silver handle? As much as it takes to make it the household name I'm convinced it will be before this is all over.

I'd agree with that view except for one thing. Today's households don't have anywhere near the discretionary income they had in the previous bull market. Look at the unemployment rate, which we all know is understated. Do unemployed people spend money on silver, or do they spend it on food?

I wouldn't go by the Dow or SPX either - that's all Fed funny money and hedge fund trading. Joe six-pack is out of the market - has been since 08. That's the back-story to the housing meltdown: it took out the middle and working class. They're out of the game for a generation now, if not for keeps.
