Suspended silver, brave new world. Perucanuck. I agree. In addition, more companies need to start selling larger and larger percentages of their production as rounds. First Majestic has been doing this for years, and sells about 15% of its significant production, to the public, in 1, 5, 10 rounds and kg bars. This has the effect of availing of the higher price premium selling to the physical market, while at the same time depriving the corrupt paper manipulators of product.
Listening to Mcquire on KWN was sobering. He talks of how these paper smashes are used by bullion banks to bully producers to sell product forward at these sh++ty prices, which then allows the same bullion banks to leverage their derivatives on these forward sales.
I would love to see someone like Sprott start a Sushine Mint competitor where silver producers minted their products in a uniform coin size with their specific logos, as a standard product. This would allow the physical-starved, premium-hobbled physical market to bypass the bullion bank parasites with their corrupt unbacked derivates. As more states and citizens move towards gold and silver, this type of endevour could serve to create a vibrant, dynamnic currency to fund and economy unencumbered by corrupt banks
