Critical Issues
Background:
Silver has been used as a store of value for thousands of years. The metal is no longer used to back any major currency, so its present value derives mainly from industrial demand and speculative investment. Silver markets are thus volatile. The price of silver spiked in early 2008, reaching highs over US$20/ounce, much in line with the price of gold. Also in line with gold, silver prices crumbled late in the year, falling to below $10/ounce. They have since recovered, and in early 2010 hovered in the $16/ounce range.
