Both gold and silver are used in every new TV, radio, stereo, computer, cell phone etc etc etc and without Gold and Silver... no toys... no X-Box... no Play Station. Pull the CPU out of your motherboard and tell me what the pins on the chip and the material used in the socket that holds the processor are made of.

I wasn’t aware they were still doing that, nonetheless the value of the stuff is not based on any actual usage, if it were the stuff would be very much cheaper than it is. It’s value is based on psychology and psychiatry.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold
The world consumption of new gold produced is about 50% in jewelry, 40% in investments, and 10% in industry.[2]
One other source I saw claimed more like 75% of current production going to jewelry. Again that says that the value of the stuff has little or nothing to do with real uses and I view it as a mistake to be buying it at this time.
