King World News had a good interview with Stephen Leeb, talking about industrial aps. of silver etc. & his expectation that it's headed for $100+.

One thing I wonder is, for industrial applications of silver, how critical is it to have .9999 vs. .999 silver ?

Let's say you're laying down a very thin layer of silver for a photovoltaic, how much do the impurities in .999 screw up the process ? My guess is, it would depend some on what the impurities are ... zinc might fvck up a sputtering machine more than copper ... as an example.


I would expect it to depend a little on the engineer designing the process that uses the silver. If they have experience with .999 vs. .9999, they will know when to pay the extra $$ for the .9999 ... and when they don't need the exceptional purity.

That guy has to be the most annoying bastard on the planet. I've got to hand it to Schiff for his restraint, if I was there I'd probably tackle that guy and start choking him on the spot.

I couldn't even finish watching that interview actually, had to stop out of pure frustration. Wow, weasley little worm is right!
