For comparison, elite market-darling silver streamer Silver Wheaton only produced 17m ounces last year (equivalent to 6% of SLV’s holdings).

The Next Financial Crisis and Gold Savehaven / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Christopher_Laird
With the Asian stock markets stalling, and the US markets insisting on rallying a suspicious 25 points a day with nary a correction in over a year, something is definitely wrong out there. What gives? I cannot believe the US economic prospects are that good right now.
But then again, with the EU markets and the EU itself looking like it’s about to disintegrate, with a new bailout story on Greece that never pans out, and what a failure to bail out Greece will do to the Euro – a Euro crisis alone can tank all markets and cause massive social unrest in the EU with nations starting to bolt as they find staying with the huge budget cuts are politically impossible.
