Silver Rigging: The End Is Near! Central banks purchased $7 trillion from 2011 to 2016. If the central banks purchased $1 trillion in just the first four months of 2017, versus the $7 trillion from 2011-2016, something seriously wrong must be going on in the markets. Regardless, $7 trillion is a lot of money when we compare it to the pathetic $32 billion invested in silver during the same period. According to the data put out by the 2017 World Silver Survey, total paper silver volume on the world's exchanges was 159,000 Moz. in 2016. In other words, the exchanges traded 180x more paper silver in 2016 than the global mine supply. http://www.theaureport.com/pub/na/silver-rigging-the-end-is-near
