The complaint isn't that I'm not being allowed to make massive amounts of money off of it. The complaint is that manipulation is immoral and illegal. I didn't invest in precious metals to get rich. I don't think anyone here has that mindset. I don't know if manipulation is taking place, but I certainly am not ok with the idea.

Everything is manipulated though, theres not a standard price above cost people are allowed to charge for something. People charge what they feel they can get.
The entire idea of an investment is manipulation based. Buying or selling is a manipulation of the price, some have more of an impact than others. But no matter what the investment you will always be jockeying to improve your position or buy at the lowest and sell at the highest. That doesn't mean youre doing anything illegal without proof of illegal activity.
My point is basically lets take a step back and ask how that would supposedly be possible. Why are these metals supposedly supposed to be soaring to never before seen heights.
If it was so easy to manipulate something like whats being claimed it would be happening all over and they would be making money insane amounts of money. We know thats not the case.

Possibly. If they mine in north america sure, south american or african villages maybe maybe not.
And I wasnt saying shame on you for investing in silver. Some people seem dead set convinced theres a huge conspiracy in the works, I was saying if they were so sure of that why would they put their money into it?

Its not the products a company produces manipulating their own value either, its the people that control them just like it would be here.
And its not that I'm only concerned about myself. Its that theres a lot of fear mongering out there for their own personal gain. The people pushing those theories are getting rich off of site hits or newsletters ect.
Your right we dont know whats going on behind the scenes, and without knowing that or any proof the first conclusion shouldnt be its being manipulated illegally.
