Hey guys,
Just want to say that, those dealer who do not have stocks are not unreliable, at least I don't think all of them are. Look, everyone here is looking to buy silver, so they sell whatever they have and order new stocks, it takes a week or 2 for these stocks to arrive, so most likely by next week everyone will see LARGE supplies of silver in malaysia because EVERY dealer order large amount at low price from overseas.
One example, Let's say I'm a big time dealer like 1stopgold, I have 1000 oz in store which I bought at RM 160 per oz, price drop to RM 130 per oz, you think I will not sell? even if I am loosing money per oz, I will still sell, recover the money now from these sales and order from my supplier at RM 120 per oz immediately. Do I loose money? no, in fact if the price goes up, I make even more money.
Those that you find still have stocks are company who :
1) used to sell very high, nobody buy from them so they have lots of stocks left, you when you find them, they are the last one everyone want to buy from
2) They had just ordered from supplier 1 or 2 weeks ago and their new shipment arrive, they still ordered at a higher price but they do have the goods to sell.
So personally I doubt that any dealer who have stocks will hold back from selling their goods, a good businessman will not get their money stuck in goods and wait for the price to go back up which could be 6 months from now, and they will have to start learning how to eat grass.
