Welcome to the premier issue of The Recycling
Entrepreneur, the monthly newsletter devoted to those interested in the
subject of recycling for profit. No, let's make that recycling for
OBSCENE PROFITS! To all of you have been anxiously awaiting the first
issue, I apologize. I hereby promise you that this newsletter WILL be
sent by the 15th of each month. I will also communicate with you more
frequently when I have something timely or important to say which cannot
wait. I intend to give you at least one important Internet reference in
each issue for those who want to learn more about the properties,
economics, and recycling opportunities of the various precious metals.
It is my opinion that the more you know about the metals you are
recycling, the easier it is to succeed in your recycling business.
If you have questions or suggestions as to what you'd like to see
covered , let me know and I'll do my best to address it. I intend to do
periodic reviews of other authors' recycling-related books as well.
Remember, this ezine is designed to be support material for "The
Recycler's Library". If you are not currently an owner of the manuals,
please review the information at:

The Coming Explosion in Recycling Opportunities - The Case for $100
Silver What I want to relay to you today is probably the most exciting
as well as the most relevant precious metals news I've come across in
the past 20 years. Those of you who already have my "Recycler's
Library" know I've been actively involved in recycling precious
metal bearing scrap for nearly twenty-five years. Much of my early
experience was gained during the tremendous price run-ups which took
place in the late seventies and early eighties.
Since those heady days when we saw our scrap inventories grow in value
daily, and then decline in value by 95%, we've become accustomed to
doing business in an environment where many types of scrap, especially
silver scrap, are hardly worth recycling. I believe all that is about
change, and change VERY rapidly. The answers to many questions I've been
asking for the past twenty years are being answered - not by me but by a
number of original thinkers. If what they say is true (and I have yet to
detect any flaw or illogic in their reasoning), it carries some exciting
implications for those of us who are involved in the recycling industry.
Let me make one thing perfectly clear - I am NOT an economist, a
commodities analyst, a precious metals broker, or a refiner. I am a
'junk guy'. My primary concern is where can I find undervalued scrap
gold, silver, platinum, palladium, etc. - and where can I sell very
quickly at the largest profit possible? I do not claim to have had an
original thought in some time and do not especially desire them. That
being said, what I do possess is an insatiable curiosity and desire to
know as much as possible about what interests me. Reading and research
have always captivated me. I'm an 'info junkie'.
The info I've come across lately has begun to shine some light on why
the precious metals (especially silver) are priced the way they are
today and when and why the fundamentals are about to change. My main
questions have been: "How can an essentially irreplaceable industrial
commodity (silver) continue to be valued at below its cost of production
in a free market system, and how long can that go on for?" I freely
admit that my projections for the value of silver over the past twenty
years have been dismally incorrect. In the scrap business, higher prices
for the commodity you're recycling translate into both more scrap being
available as well as larger dollar profits.
I saw firsthand in 1979 and 1980 how the recycling markets were
literally overwhelmed with the volume of scrap made available by willing
sellers. The scrap film company I was managing at the time had the
phones ringing off the hook. Every pawn shop, jeweler, scrap gold buyer,
and refiner had people lined up out their door, emptying out their
jewelry boxes, dresser drawers, piggy banks, and sterling collections of
anything made of gold or silver, turning it into cash. With gold topping
out at $800+ per ounce and silver at $50+, who could blame them?
How things have changed! Silver is now at an inflation-adjusted 5,000
YEAR low! The supply of silver is at an all-time low, our government is
no longer an owner of physical silver, and the markets are allowed to be
controlled for the benefit of a silver "cartel" through the biggest scam
to ever impact the precious metals markets - and it is GOVERNMENT
SANCTIONED!
The name of this SCAM is "Metal Leasing". When the market finally reacts
to this SCAM, as it inevitably WILL, absolute fortunes will be made by
those with the foresight to obtain this information. Eventually, the
markets will react suddenly and violently to the manipulation of the
insiders. This is inevitable! What I have learned about the economics of
silver are best learned from an acknowledged expert and original thinker
by the name of Theodore Butler. You can read his excellent silver
analysis and subscribe to a free (snail mail) newsletter by going
HERE . Scroll to the bottom of the page and fill out the
subscription form.
Read some of the articles, then click on their "HOME" link and consider
taking advantage of their FREE "Silver Lining Report" offer, then think
about buying the "Silver Sampler". There is nothing like holding
physical precious metals in your hand to kindle a real passion. And, NO,
I DO NOT receive any type of commission for this recommendation! Get
this information NOW - even if you are not in a recycling business. It
could open doors to an investment opportunity which won't be repeated in
this lifetime.

Trivia Question - Why will silver NEVER be completely replaced in the
photographic field?
Answer: Silver is some 9,000% more photo-reactive than the best digital
electronic device in terms of pixels. Just how reactive are the silver
salts used in photography? A single silver-halide crystal would react
(in the absence of all other light) to the light of a SINGLE CANDLE on
the surface of the Earth, if the silver were on the surface of the MOON!
No other element comes close to doing what silver does based on cost and
consumption. Remember, one ounce of silver (currently about $4.11 worth)
will produce about 5,000 color photographs! A dollar rise in the per
ounce price of silver relates to about 2/100ths of a penny increase in
cost per photo. Next month's question: What happens to the metals in
one's body when it is cremated?

Coming next month: I
review the book by Rose Morgan, "Thrift Store Prospecting". Rose is
going to tell us how to get gold for $20.00 per ounce! However...
