Buy silver?

Right now there is a major shortage of silver. For almost a hundred years now the price has been too low to mine it. Anything that is mined is a by-product of other metal mining. consumer consumption is growing at a tremendous rate. Surplus is almost gone. The dollar is almost dead. And if 1% of investor demand were to move into silver it would throw the delicatley balanced price limbo into shyrocketing prices for years to come. At $14.00 and ounce why are more people not buying??
