Money Morning Mailbag: With Many Ways To Hold It, Investors Need To Get Their Hands on Silver

Barnes detailed why silver is poised for a breakout, based on its current price surge underway in India, the price run up of gold - a leading indicator of silver prices - and the fact that the white metal has yet to set a new nominal record price in U.S. dollars.
