Aside from the cartel's manipulation of silver there are other factors that could? suppress its quoted market value for the short and short-intermediate future. With the EURO in the hospital and YEN being moved closer to the ICU the DOLLAR - while having a chronic slowly advancing disease - still looks good (by comparison). As the Euro & Yen leave their home markets looking for safer territory they're likely to come to the U.S. which ought to buoy and possibly increase the Dollar's value. A stronger Dollar could? result in hampering silver's increase in market value. Going to be fun watching this play out.
