Of course its a trap.

The sold over 700 million oz of paper Silver and only moved the price 65 cents downside. last year when the pulled a similar stunt they slammed the price over 5 dollars.

They had to lower it because it was reaching a point where you would have to be a 100% physical to participate.

People will rush in because this a new tactic not yet seen and the spin doctors can push on unsuspecting clients but once the new trap is revealed.it will soon be avoided like the rest.

bottom line.....The strong hands are winning and the proof is in the drastic measures taken by the cartel
