Why would the Cenral Banks manipulate gold/silver?This older article reminds us about what is actually happening in the paper market on days like this. Might be a good time to add some physical precious metals to your portfolio. That being said, these take-downs usually run over 2, 3, and sometimes more trading sessions and that is what this is - a take down. We are but little fish in a big pond. Wouldn't it be nice if we could trade in a market that we ourselves could control? That's the wonderful world that central banks live in. The financil elite in this world are all privy to this of course. **************************** https://investmentresearchdynamics.com/comex-silver-is-the-most-corrupted-market-in-history/ **************************** "The primary Comex market-makers and Comex gold/silver vault custodians are amassing a record level of naked-short interest in paper silver. Why? Because this serves the two purposes: 1) these banks make enormous trading profits through their illegal manipulation of the gold and silver markets. In fact, I dont know about HSBC and Scotia, but in some past quarters JP Morgans commodities trading unit has been its onlycash-profitablebusiness segment. I suspect this was largely from illegal trading profits in gold and silver futures trading. 2) keeping the price of silver down via illegal manipulation enables these banks to accumulate physical silver at artificially low prices. Obviously they know the truth about the real condition of the physical market. If you put on your think like a criminal hat, you would use the paper to push the price of silver down using paper taking out trading gains on the markets volatility and you would be accumulating a massive hoard of physical silver because, once the Comex eventually defaults, both gold and silver will soar in price but silver will soar many multiples more than gold."
