<p>The silver market continues to be a sight to behold, with prices touching $95 today, more than triple the price of just one year ago.</p>
<p>Volatility is increasing and upward momentum in both gold and silver remains strong. And so does retail demand in the United States.</p>

<p>Money Metals continues to staff up while expanding operating hours to handle record-level volumes — on both the buy <i>and</i> sell side. As of today, we've hired 55 employees since Christmas Day to handle the dramatically expanded activity in all areas of our operation.</p>
<p>Our inventory position remains exceptionally strong – even as most of Money Metals' competitors are out of stock or quote long minting delays on many (if not most) silver products.</p>
<p>That said, we still have multi-day processing delays with respect to our shipping, receiving, and depository processing — these delays are communicated in varioius places on the website so that there are no surprises. We remain confident we can maintain reasonable service levels – especially in comparison to the operational struggles we see unfolding accross our industry.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Money Metals has not followed other dealers in cracking down on small customers by imposing order minimums and jacking up order sizes to get free shipping. There is no guarantee we will not be forced to take steps at some point, depending on market conditions. This would be a last resort, given how much we value smaller customers and first-timers at Money Metals.</p>
<p>Thank you for your business, patience, and trust!</p>
<p>Stefan Gleason, CEO</p>
