The traders are swapping paper contracts that allow for physical delivery, but no one asks for physical delivery. The result is that many, many multiples of the amount of investment grade silver currently available are being traded in paper form that could be asked to be settled in silver.
It isn't particularly dangerous because the price of silver is pretty stable and will never go to zero. I wouldn't go long in it right now because the current price is quite high compared to its historic average and its average for the past five years.
The silver price has been artificially suppressed by market manipulators using paper/ETF silver. The real price of silver is probably around $125 to $200 when you compare it to the historical ration to gold of 1:15 to 1:10, respectively. And that's assuming gold hasn't been suppressed, which it absolutely has been by central banks.
SLV!!!
How can there be excessive downward pressure on silver when it is near its highest price in the past five years? I don't see the play here.

Liberate the potential of silver. Make silver great again!
I've been long on SLV since the summer, and I just doubled my holdings. To the moon!
This is dangerous, I'm not the smartest when it comes to stocks, but wouldn't this hurt everyone? Silver is used in a lot of stuff we buy.
Killing off the tidal wave of shorters will be very beneficial in the long run.

Well, the historic average for silver going back 100 years is somewhere between 10 and 15 bucks.
cant lose if you fill the chopper with actual silver instead of paper !
