Are you trying to start another run on silver-based photo products?

Do you remember the time, I think it was the late 1970's, when the Hunt
brothers in Texas cornered the silver market? The price of silver went
out of
sight. Kodak announced it would honor its then current catalog prices for
2
more months. I did an analysis of my use of all silver-based products
over a
3-year period, then promptly ordered the equivalent of a 3-year supply of
everything containing silver! As I recall, the price of a roll of B&W
film
tripled, but eventually came down some.

Is it time to start keeping a 3-year supply on hand again?

You logic escapes me. 40% of the world silver demand is for film (including
color film). Obviously, demand is dropping fast because of digital
photography. Experts are predicting that silver prices will drop in the long
term, or at best (for those in the silver business) remain stable.
