Scotia Mocatta premium for Silver Maples hits all time high of 32.9

AT 10:51 EST SILVER MAPLES, WHICH ARE SOLD OUT, are priced at 25.90 while the spot price of silver at KITCO is 19.48, a difference of 32.9%

This is the highest margin since I began tracking it in 2009 when it was around 8%.

To the price of the silver maple must be added shipping and administration raising the cost of the physical metal, if you can get it, considerably higher.


As of January 11, 2014 the margin has increased to 33%

As of January 28th the margin has increased to 36.5% ie a silver maple is valued at $26.66 on a silver spot price of $19.525

 As at January 30th the margin increased to 37.4% $26.30 retail /19.13 spot.

As at January 31st the margin increased to 38.3% $26.52 retail/19.175 spot

As of February 1st Margin 38.59%  $26.52 per silver maple/ 19.165 spot market price

Sean Devlin and Shireen Soofi with Bridgette Depape Make their point.

The matter is largely being called a "security" issue by CBC because the issue is Harper and his neglect of climate change. But the point is mute: Armed with black aprons, and a fierce ideology, they snuck in, raised their protest signs and were unRCMPmerrily tossed out.

 

Its hard to critcize them and praise the likes of a "Mandela" at the same time, the same ethic is at work, passive, peaceful resistance in the face of an implacable administration and an ever present black garbed security force.

The fact that Devlin and Soofi made them look inept and incompetent will be a talking point for a while.

What we need is a frank discussion about how the public can speak truth to power without these kinds of shenanigans.

What we have instead, is a prime minister who ran on one set of ideals and has become a characature of
the slimey polician ever since:
 

 HARPER... "My instinct is, when somebody doesn't answer questions, even simple and innocuous questions in a straight forward manner... there may be something 'else'" 

 HARPER... "When you are under the kind of cloud, and your government admits it is under one...I think you would use every opportunity to be as forthright as possible (insert smirk here)"

Political Capital of Harper> past best before date.
