Thanks philv. Very interesting article. I particularly liked.

"As he spoke in the days between Christmas and New
Year's, Tierney pointed out that open interest in March
silver was nearly 70,000 contracts, yet the COMEX warehouse
stocks on hand were only equivalent to around 22,000.
Furthermore, he said, some of the 110 million ounces that
are on hand are probably not even available for delivery,
because it's being stored for long-term safekeeping or
obligated against outstanding loans. He added that some
silver in banks has old markings so that it may no longer
even comply with delivery requirements.
He also pointed out that a couple of major banks are no
longer depositories for silver, presumably because the
quantities had become so small that they were having trouble
covering costs. "
