Nedostatok striebra a manipulácia.

Je nedostatok striebra akýmsi znamením manipulácie jeho ceny? Asi áno. Ceny sú ešte stále nízke, hoci v polovici novembra dosiahla až US$29,36/oz. Pokiaľ "kvázi bankoví špekulanti" si chcú zabezpečiť fyzické striebro, budú musieť vytiahnuť jeho cenu vyššie, ... a nie stlačiť nižšie.

“As the price of silver almost continuously rose from $17.98 on August 23 to $29.36 mid-day on November 9 (a 63% increase), the COMEX had not changed its minimum requirements for leveraged accounts,” explained Patrick Heller of Liberty Coin Service. “It would be a normal process to periodically bump us the minimum amounts for margin accounts as prices rise, but this was not done until November 9, when the margin requirement was increased from $5,000 per contract to $6,500.”

By delaying a raising of margin requirements as the price of silver shot up, a larger amount of speculative longs accumulated for the COMEX to “stop out” as these longs needed to sell, creating a dramatic and rather quick plunge in the price.

But it appears the scheme is faltering. Open interest remains strong and new orders keep flooding in for silver, according to Turk. Arguably, prices are still too low for silver to clear. Silver has since rallied to more than $27 per ounce in Asia on Monday.

While speaking to Eric King of King World News on a November 12 broadcast about the sudden reversal down in silver during that week, renowned precious metals expert, James Turk, said, “They are not dislodging physical silver by running the paper market down. In fact the silver market is getting tighter and tighter. That’s why I am perplexed at why they are trying to run this paper market lower. If they want to get physical silver they are going to have to take the price higher, not lower."
