Silver Manipulation

[beauanderos]

I used to hate the fact that silver (and gold) was being manipulated, but certain indications lead me to believe it may be ending soon. So this poll is two part. Do you want the manipulation to come to an end, so that prices might respond higher, the way many of us feel they will? Or, do you want the manipulation to continue, as long as possible, so that we can stack as much as possible at these suppressed prices? Finally, do you feel that what some see as obvious manipulation that causes great volatility of pricing, is keeping many investors away from precious metals because of uncertainty... or inducing them to buy "while there is blood in the streets?"

On the poll, check all that you feel are true, however you are limited to four choices.

I made my choices but having lived though the '73 oil embargo I having always maintained that the pending world oil shortage will be a driving force in the price of silver and it will then be out of JPMorgan's hands and OPEC will become the great manipulator.

Ordered 20 JM 1 oz silver bars from Provident this morning. Be it JPMorgan or OPEC I'm slowly but surely preparing myself for the fight....

The further I travel down this rabbit hole, the more scenarios I find for major problems. It seems like we are living in a house of cards and pulling any card from anywhere on the house will cause the whole thing to crumble.

Not sure there is quite the set of options that captures my thoughts, but the closest would be 2&3 with the tipping point cause and timing unknown but the effect certain.

Hm, I thought I would be the only one to vote for #5. It's not quite accurate though, since I actually think prices will fall at least a little bit more this year.

As we continue to Taper off of the QE program. I think we will see a rise in the PM game. The options listed above are all viable scenarios. Between OIL , Chine buying up so much gold, and the taper of QE. I think we will see rise in PMs if any one of those 3 options i just mentioned are stressed...

There will be an event that will divide paper and physical in price. It may just be if it ever comes to light that there is not enough physical to back up the paper, or there may be a "bubble" of some kind. At that point when the paper cannot be trusted, it will be much harder to manipulate a physical market. This likely means the demand for paper will dry up to a fraction of what it is today, or go away altogether.

Answer me this, and you will know exactly what will happen with the price of silver. How can JPMorgan make the most money possible from this http://goldsilverworlds.com/physical-ma ... n-history/ ? The fact that it now holds the largest physical silver position in recorded history! (according to Ted Butler)
