Buying Silver a good investment? I guess it is better than driving an electric car but the feed bills are murder.

An important difference from gold is that silver is not recycled because of its much lower value.

In photography, there is no substitute at all, because of the unique reaction of silver salts to light.

Interestingly, silver recovery from photographic processes used to be a fairly big business. But consumer film consumption has of course cratered, and this may make silver recovery no longer profitable here.

I am surprised that the segment of his industrial-use chart devoted to photography hasn't shrunk more. Maybe it's the motion picture industry holding it up. And of course even there, film will be going away sooner or later.
