We've spent the last several years amidst a suspended growth larval phase of silver, induced by the shorts. Hopefully, that opportunity to purchase artificially inexpensive silver and gold did not escape your attention and you were able to sock quite a bit away. Maybe not as much as you would have preferred, but nonetheless, more than you would have been able to accumulate if the low prices presented courtesy of manipulation had never existed in the first place. So where are we now? Let's call it The Quickening. The silver larva is beginning to twitch, eager to escape it's JPMorgan and HSBC pupae. It's nearly ready to burst forth in full-fledged metamorphosis and emerge to soar to heights now unimaginable. As a butterfly, newly-emerged, is beautiful to behold as it spreads its wings and tentatively flaps them to soar gracefully from its perch, so to shall be the awe-inspiring, breathtaking liftoff we are about to witness in the precious metals realm.
(and then, just about that time, someone will net it, put a chloroformed ear swab in it's face, then stab it through it's thorax with a needle-sharp pinion and leave it to helplessly dangle from a collecting board)
