John; The last time silver was at $50 per ounce was back in 1980. So it took 31 years to get back up to that level again a couple of weeks ago, and since then it has dropped over $10 per ounce.
At age 73, I don't have time to wait another 30+ years to get to $50 an ounce again. I would like to spend and enjoy the money now rather than leave the silver to my estate to squabble over.
