Silver Shortage Causes Price Disconnect

Subject:Silver Shortage Causes Price Disconnect
By: Jason Hommel, Silver Stock Report

Overview: Many people agree there is a shortage of retail investor silver, but they get confused by the lower price. They think a lower price means more silver must have come into the market. That is not how our markets work. Our markets are affected by paper silver futures contracts, and very few people ever attempt to take delivery of that silver, they buy it on leverage, for the investment returns, not for real silver. So, some people can sell "silver promises" to excess, and never deliver, and if they sell more "paper silver" than exists, that can manipulate the price.

The dollar prop manipulations and takedowns in the PM markets have me so disgusted that I hardly feel like signing on anymore .....

But to the topic of Silver shortages and disconnects between paper and physical. The essential industrial and military uses of Silver make it a strategic material. No doubt some political windbag will claim Silver is needed to fight the GWOT and Silver will be reserved only for industrial uses, except that amount which is allocated (controlled) for investment purposes. They would impose this not with a defacto law prohibiting ownership, but by a huge tax levy on Silver destined for "investment purposes", which will be called "evil speculation" to justify why you and I should not have free access to PMs.

So, basically we will have the same thing as the pre-1971 situation with Gold..... in 2009 - 2015 with Silver. Pre- 1971 industry got Gold for $35/Oz. Gold jewelry sold for a much higher price. Personal ownership of Gold bullion was illegal.

Industry will be able to buy Silver for $10/Oz.. Investors might trade what scarce physical Silver is left among themselves for twenty times that, but the official "paper price limit" will keep the sheeple from accepting PM's as an alternative and will keep the greenback the official currency of use. A black market will develop between investors and certain industrial and mining interests.
