All I can tell you is that PM wholesale and retail sales have gone thru the roof, and apparently having reached escape velocity, are now on their way into orbit. fwiw...
Were the etf's created to absorb small investor dollar demand for silver?
These banks running the etf's obviously consider the metal in them their own. They use the ounce in custody to sell an ounce. Neutral price suppression and additional profit center. Works until it doesn't.
Of course the entities are separate. But ultimately fall under mutual control. Silver didn't get so oversold by itself.

I WONT LOSE TO MUCH SLEEP OVER WALL STREET BANKERS OR HEDGE FUNDS. WE ALREADY KNOW THEY ARE TO BIG TO FAIL. Opps, sorry bout the caps.
So Jamie diamond meets with Biden administration last week. What came of that? What could that have been about?
Silver and making sure Biden got JP Morgans back when they continue to short years worth of supply to manipulate the price down?
Maybe JP Morgans Boat full of Blow? Hoping Hunter will release the shipment?
Whatever the reason, it wont be good for the little people.
Well silver is getting frisky this morning, and platinum is getting the straight up proverbial boner. Let's see if the Comex boys have the will and/or juice to cap today's momentum like they did pretty much all of last week.

Biden has been in the pocket of Wall Street forever. While some of these politicians are downright stupid they have ways of conducting their affairs no one would ever know about.
Are there any, I mean ANY, other ETF's that will complain that there is a campaign to buy their shares? HAHAHAH. Tells us all we need to know about them.
ETFs whining about people driving up the value of their underlying asset by investing with them. Gosh, I wonder why that's considered a "Risk Condition". Is it because they're also hedging that same physical asset...WHICH THEY SOLD TO INVESTORS...by shorting them with paper? Sounds a whole lot like fraud to me. These things exist to contain the price of silver.

It seems to me that they are referring to the inability to stay backed by silver as the risk condition. Which obviously begs the question how is the price low enough to create that problem.

If it is hedging, which it should be, then they are price neutral which is, after all. the idea. If it isn't hedging then there would be a paper trail a mile wide and serious malpractice questions to be answered. I suspect that it is short to very short term hedging to cover the logistics of issuing new shares.
I think that the ETF's are hostages to the system as much as anyone, all they care about is keeping the price inline with silver, meeting their regulatory requirements and collecting their fees.
IMO the way that the futures market operates is where the 'crime' occurs.

I think you are right but they need to be putting their weight out on the regulators and markets, not the little guy who doesn't read the prospectus. I mean if that's how they want to collect some fees, or just go find a new market to skim.

If the goal is to try to maintain a low price of silver until physical demand subsides, it is one hellava beach ball they're attempting to hold under water. If/when they fail, silver price will rise very sharply and very quickly.

Some people are making a thing of this, I have no clue why?! Looks legit to me.

OK so at the risk of sounding really stupid I have to ask this question. Why would the supply or the lack of it hold down the price of PSLV if the underlying asset of the fund is going up in price? I would expect SLV and PSLV to go up or down close to the same % basis daily just like they have been doing for pretty much as long as I have been watching.
Is it safe to assume that if you don't intend to take delivery of Silver via PSLV and just buy/hold to take advantage of the movement in the price of Silver it is just better to do it via SLV?
Since there are obviously supply issues at least in the amounts the small retail trader would buy then it follows PSLV is probably the worst way to play a SHTF scenario. IF PSLV isn't going up now what happens in a year or two?
There has to be a reason for the under performance and it ain't the Diaper Dudes.
