"the size of market of the paper silver market, which shows the systemic silver shortage is about 17 times bigger than the retail silver market!

I estimate that there is about $17 billion worth of "paper silver" out there in the world in the form of silver futures contracts, unbacked unallocated accounts, and ETFs. That's about $7 billion in futures contracts, and I'd estimate an equal amount of another $7 billion in unallocated "bullion" accounts at various LBMA member banks, $2.2 billion in the SLV ETF, and $1.5 billion in paper certificates with the Perth Mint....................

...In contrast to the approximate $17 billion of silver liabilites and "indebtedness", there is probably less than $1 billion worth of physical silver available to buy......

And meanwhile, the government prints up $700 billion in a bailout, that is really more like $3,000 billion to $10,000 billion............

.......The position limits prove there is a shortage of the 1000 oz. bars that they are afraid they cannot obtain to deliver to meet the terms on their unlimited numbers of short sale contracts."

guess whoooooo?
