“Harrison noted that while gold is plunging on the commodities exchanges, he’s finding it difficult to build an inventory for his shop. ‘I retail gold and silver and I’m having a real difficult time right now getting physical metal,’ he explained. ‘It’s the crazy world about gold and silver: Sometimes the paper market is going down but you can’t find actual physical items.’ The reason, he said, was a lack of physical product, which he blamed on private and government mints not keeping up with demand. But this same phenomenon should help prices see a bottom shortly. ‘I still pay right around spot — I don’t think it’s going to go much lower,’ Harrison said.”
