The other part of the puzzle is the depletion of above-ground inventories for industrial use. I think the accessible availability constrains the price relationship more than the actual abundance.

This isn't based on availability, but on what's actually mined currently (AG+23,000/AU=2,800). Actual availability in the earth's crust is closer to 19/1 (AG=0.075/AU=0.004ppm). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_elements_in_Earth's_crust According to the info found on the periodic table here it could be as high as 64/1. http://environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/periodic Perhaps there's an aspect of accessible availability that's missing from the discussion. Thanks Mark,

I'm not sure if its calculated the same way, but I think it shows the same youth unemployment problem exists in America.
