You can’t short squeeze the physical market with the paper market. They will not settle the contracts with physical silver. They can substitute it with cash. This has been tried before and failed for that very reason...and...they can print all of the SLV they need to suppress the price.
While I figured as much, can you demand physical? Or do they have clauses in the contracts to settle with cash? I think people don’t realize there are already way more silver shares in the market than physical silver that exists in circulation.

Not sure. Thanks for the response and I’ll ask him.
