Question on market manipulation

[YukonCornelius]

Simply put, could tptb theoretically has silver at $25 tomorrow? $20? 15?

[YukonCornelius]

Paper (spot) price of course.

In theory, yes they can. It is a global fiat system, it is fully corrupt.

But they won't, this is because it would be very counter productive to their corrupt system itself if they did so. The less anyone mentions silver the better. They don't want to create a major disconnect between the physical and the paper price as that simply discredits their fiat even more. A major disconnect would take place as there would be enough investors, and even possibly nations who would step in a buy silver and would look to take delivery and not take future paper gains on their contracts (bought at the pushed down price). In addition, it would take a massive transfer of wealth to those investors who accepted the paper gains in FRN pay off. Something they could easily absorb but again in the end would be just more inflation and counter productive bringing more attention to the silver market.

Yes that would empty the markets of silver...

Miners would circumvent the paper market and supply only the physical market....

I would dump all of my gold for silver...

All of the people waiting for a correction would pile in...

Millions of shorts would cover their positions...

The correction would last days not weeks or months like it used to...

People would see $10 premiums on $25 coins...



Your point is?

[YukonCornelius]

Thanks for the details. That answers my question. And there was no point besides getting an answer.

The posters above talk like 2008 and even 2006 never happened.

Here is some COT short analysis for you.
