How does the government manipulate the actual price of silver? In terms of going in and regulating the price? Im new to this and just dont see how its legal or why they do thay?

I think the better question is how don't they regulate it. They have influence over the exchanges where they can apply pressure to raise or lower margins. The fed could directly try to short the market or make overnight loans to bankers who are willing to do it for them. Another way is jawboning. If Bernacke makes a small change in wording tomorrow silver could easily take a 2 dollar dive. If he makes a major change in wording, a $10 move could be in the works...and then there's all the stuff we don't know about.
