Silver: Victim of Motive, Means, and Opportunity
Silver gets little respect, but that is sensible in a world dominated by paper assets and pretend values. Similar to a murder investigation, let’s examine the motive, means and opportunity used to “manage” silver prices.

MEANS: The annual value of all silver mine output is perhaps $15 Billion. By contrast, the US government increases its official debt by that much in less than a week. Comparatively speaking, the silver market is tiny. Therefore the means to levitate or crush the market is both easily available and clear. A few $Billion can drive COMEX prices far higher or lower quickly, especially if “the managers” use futures contracts during illiquid times in the overnight market. Andy Hoffman [5] has extensively documented this process.
