No Sausage

[jonahtrainer]

Article on the battle between gold and government. It appears the gold and silver shortages are cropping up again.

Anyone know what delivery times are currently at?

LOL, from what I've been reading in this forum, you may still get your sausage, but you may have to wait for them to grow another hog and then manufacture the sausage before you will get any.

Of course you will be happy if you get your sausage sooner than they predicted so your inconvenience of waiting shouldn't be so much of a problem for the person raising the hogs.

It's just that they don't really want you to take possession of the sausage you would be buying at the current price and they would rather keep their sausage in hopes it will go down in price before they actually have to deliver it.

So if you decide not to stay in the restaurant selling the long sought sausage and go to another where they in fact have some to serve right away, you won't suffer the inconvenience of waiting for something the other restaurant advertised they had but wouldn't or couldn't deliver right away.

Now, what was everyone saying about supply and demand? Is there a free market around here somewhere where we can see supply and demand in action? A financial museum, perhaps?

lol, precisely! Of course, you can tell my stomach not to be hungry while I wait for my sausage. I seem to act differently when I am hungry and can't seem to help it

There is a difference between demand for 'paper gold' and demand for 'physical gold.'

I talked with my dealer who is pretty knowledgeable, he says that they rationed SAE (silver american eagles) because the gov buys silver at the end of each quarter and they are losing money.

I also heard it was because they can't make them fast enough.

I saw the thread title and thought this was some anti-gay type thread.

Seems like the Mint is still required by law to produce and sell the SAEs.

Seems kind of like a bank run; you either have the metal in your hand or you do not. If you do not then you are screwed.
