Silver Is Crashing! Oooh, The Humanity

Just a thought from someone trying to get a handle on the silver/PM angle in respect to COMEX increasing margin requirements for silver futures. Since this now makes buying futures more expensive/difficult, won't this make physical silver's current price per ounce more realistic and less likely to be manipulated by the likes of financial institutions ?

Yes, that is possible. One BIG problem with the silver market, though, is that it is the banks and the speculators who run the show. Sometimes, these are one and the same. I don't know what the break-down is among banks, speculators, industry, and private citizens as buyers of silver but suspect that it is the banks and speculators first, industry second, and citizens last... and probably by wide margins.

There have been many complaints out there by people who supposedly know what they are talking about that the silver market is prone to manipulation. I don't know whether or not that has occurred but suspect that it has. Some of these people have complained about this to the US federal government but have not received any action on it about which I have heard. Is it possible that the feds are in bed with the banks and with the banks being one of the BIG players in this market have prevailed upon their government stooges to do their bidding while they continue to loot and pillage the silver market? Heaven forbid!
