Why is silver so short? Easy. At first they shorted silver heavily to fool people into remaining in the bond market. But because they have sold so much silver that they don’t have, they now have to keep the price down so as to avoid the day of reckoning that would otherwise come about. Now the problem is even worse. With a useless bond market, cash is going into silver even if silver doesn’t go up because its a far better bet than a bond that can only go down. How do they get out of this? Easy. A massive black swan event so that they can declare Force Majure and say “too bad suckers… we have nothing with which to repay you”.
