There's an important distinction about these commercials: they aren't producers. I've seen the names of a few of them in the different writings on the topic, and they are not names I recognize. There are eight firms (variously described as bullion dealers, and "trading houses") involved in the big silver sales. Maybe someone else has further detail they could post about this band?

butler has written extensively on this topic. below are a couple of relevant URLs (i also recommend reading his weekly and archived essays for the full details regarding his theories):

i'm not a big believer in conspiracies. but, i do think that the supply from dishoarding, forward sales, and leasing in the 80s/90s were a one-time glut that distorted the price of silver and gold below their natural supply/demand levels. so i expect prices to keep rising (abruptly?) as the supply deficits in both markets become dominant (as is the case currently with copper).

if there was/is a cartel in gold or silver, then i'm grateful that it has been in place long enough for me to buy coins and shares at cheapo prices. at this point, however, i'm ready for prices to rise. if anyone else is similarly inclined, consider signing the famous petition below, even if you don't believe in conspiracies, on the basis that any publicity for the silver deficit is good publicity.
