But you will know silver has peaked when people start showing up at Joe's Pawn Shop, the one with the "we buy gold" neon sign in the window, with grandma's silverware stuffed in a grocery shopping bag.
For the most part, Americans are unaware of the recent performance of gold and particularly silver.
And the powers that be want to keep it that way.
Silver traded as high as $109.42 this evening.
Gold is currently up 1.70% or $1.75 at $5075.00
