"I still think stocks will rise to meet metal valution discrepancy but still don't know when. I am surprised it hasn't already started to happen."

I am not surprised but disappointed that it has not happened yet. It will happen and earlier than some would expect. I say earlier because I look at things as they were 30 years ago. No computer trading then but now we have a serious silver shortage ( equivalent to the Hunt brother influence), so now things are likely to go faster and to a higher extreme.

A long while ago a stock was mentioned here from circa 1980, that it rose hugely just on having the word 'gold' in it's name. I think this time around 'Silver' will be the more catchy name. We not only have it in our name but have it substantially in the ground and more to come. Cheers.
