Paper Selling, Physical Buying

Subject:Paper Selling, Physical Buying
By: Theodore Butler

Overview: Recent data confirm a recurring pattern in the price of silver, namely, a clash between what is occurring in the paper COMEX futures market and the physical market. To keep it simple, recent speculative selling of long positions has overwhelmed physical buying, resulting in the short term sell-off.

And after years of buying raw silver for myself NOTHING changes. Mr. Butler is probably right in his theory. However, only a collapse of the U.S. dollar caused by our "great" leaders in Washington by uncontroled spending will the power of Silver be realized. So much Silver is controled by people who hold the most, the small investor is helpless!

Dude,
You are nuts!
Silver has been kicking ass for years now and all you can say is,
"...the small investor is helpless!"
Uh, NO.
You have all the power. Buy silver and shut up.
Or just plain shut up!!!

Funny how THIS first time poster does something like this:
A negative post complaining that he is only beating every other investment on the planet.

I think that Ted Butler is really on the right track with this article as I often watch SLV at it's website http://us.ishares.com/product_info/f...erview/SLV.htm If you click on the upper left "Historical Data (Excel)" it tracks additions and subtractions back to the start of the trust, and you can see that over the past 4 months the total increase of some 623 tonnes (11%) has mostly come in big additions and then nothing for a few weeks. I have not plotted it against the price of silver but would be sure it bears no relationship. Silver was trading at about $17.30 four months ago.

Maybe not too much longer to wait.........

I have been waiting for seven years and still no explosion. Ted Butler is still probably right but there sure seems to be a lot of unaccounted silver out there which the shorts are able to easily tap when they need to keep the industrial users well supplied.

Have you noticed that the "Save your Shorts" price dip hits EVERY Monday now?!?!
It used to be every couple weeks we'd see the big plunge. Uh, not any more.
EVERY DANG MONDAY. And this week, even Tuesday.
And I don't believe that the Ind. Users are WELL supplied. I think it is about to end. Or is that begin?
What do I smell?
It IS The Quickening!

I hope the Quickening brings a stiff breeze with it to drive out what smells. These guys must be having terrible weekends. Talk about an axe to grind.

I look forward to another article analyzing paper sales verses physical buying in light of the current drop of silver to $14.57 on 8/12. Physical sales should pick up.

And if James Turk is correct on central bank intervention of the US Dollar,
(which I feel he is), prices may go lower allowing investors to pick up more at cheaper rates.
