Does Buffett still hold a crazy amount of the worlds silver, is he buying again, or will he now start to offload his at this price?

Silver is used in heaps of industrial processes (electronics, jewellery, photography, chemistry, medical drugs and weapons manufacturing).
Silver use has been increasing, but stockpiles have been descreasing for sometimes (the silver price has been artificailly kept low by governments selling stockpiles)..
Also keep in mind a lot of silver mining operations have been shutdown also because of the perpetually low price.
