FED just said they will keep buying almost 1500 BILLION of U$ Treasuries in the next 12 months because investors don't want to support the dollar any longer (.. at least at current rates)
In 2011, just like 1980, Wall Steer almost lost control over the silver market, when prices jumped to $50
By changing the rules (1980) and/or bombarding the market with paper silver (remember the nightly raid May 1st in 2011?) they succeeded to stay in control.
1- More and more reports physical silver is currently out of stock (due to a large number of new orders)
Most physical silver is refined for being sold. Refineries have a limited capacity (remember March 2020?)
2- Now buying physical is no longer possible even more money will be poured into listed silver stocks, especially the US-listed ones.
(SIL and SILJ (ETF) will show serious volumes and gains)
The Reddit's will discover buying silver (COMEX=CRIMEX) futures is a pro-biz, and an almost impossible road to physical silver for retail investors. CRIMEX-rules are designed to favor/help/defend Wall Street Banksters. (Ask the Hunt Brothers, 1980)
