RE:8 of largest traders on the comex are now 183 days shortPlease take note: we've been running out of silver for 60 years. I've been listening to this stuff forever. There are highs, and there are busts, just like all commodities.
Right now there are 83,000 contracts long/short, fairly high, but in April '17 there were almost 120,000. In Sep '16 there were 100,000. When the longs start liquidating, prices fall - most of them don't take delivery and never intended to take delivery.
